This movie was put on at school when I was in kindergarten in 1989 (although it wasn't educational at all, or at least I can't imagine how it could have been). I don't remember the overall storyline really, but I do remember a few major details quite vividly because this movie was quite creepy/borderline scary to my class. It was a live action movie that had the basic elements of Disney/Pixar's Toy Story, where various toys lived in a child's room, and when the child was out, the toys "woke up" and carried on some sort of life. The creepy part was that the mother (whose face I don't believe was ever shown) would sometimes come clean up the child's room, and if a toy was touched by her, it could never come to life again. I've been googling from time to time for the past few years trying to figure out anything about this movie, but with no luck whatsoever. I'd appreciate any insight you have. Thanks! :)

It could be "The Christmas Toy" by Jim Henson. The toys would be frozen forever if found out of place and touched.

Wow, I've been googling too - hope it's the film I'm thinking of! Cheers! Xx

Ive been trying to find the same movie. I think it was called the Christmas Toy? It was all about the kid getting a new toy right? Then they all came to life and if they were caught out of their place they wouldn't come back to life again. After I saw that when I was about 6 years old I vowed to kiss all my toys goodnight every night and treat them equally. HA!
