Name the Movie Please!!

[netbrowser]

My son is looking for a movie that supposedly has a man who lives in a bowling ball commanding an army of toy soldiers. He remembers watching it when he was younger. The only one that came to mind for me was Babes in Toyland, but that wasn't it. Can you please help put me out of my misery (of listening to him ask over and over) and give me the title? My gratitude would know no bounds!

My son is turning 16 in March and he said that he remembers seeing it a long time ago.

He mentioned that it was the same format as Babes in Toyland, so I guess it wasn't animated.

Funny story... called Wal-Mart to find out if they carried Babes in Toyland. An older gentleman answered the phone in Electronics and told me that they didn't carry "adult" videos.

By George, I think I've got it! There's a 1986 version of Babes in Toyland that features the bowling ball resident! Now, all I've got to do is find a copy.
