When Glen Gabriel and I worked on the orchestration of this song a year ago, we joked about how it sounded like toys making mischief while the toymaker was away. I thought long and hard about this concept and formed a storyline in my head of how this could work. I wasn't sure how to make the toys come to life though - animation? Claymation? CGI? But in the end, I had the idea to use real life dancers to portray the characters.

SO much work went into this video. My husband and I built the toy theater (you can see my vlog on that), I personally found and handpicked all of the figurines. Everything from the costumes, the characters, the props and locations - all handpicked with care.
