''NO, they're not toys. You can't buy these things at Macy's!'' cries one of the characters in ''Batteries Not Included,'' describing the dinner-plate-size flying saucers that are the film's real stars. But even if the merchandise isn't readily at hand, toys are very much on the minds of all concerned, since everything in the film has been designed in toymaker's terms. That includes the human characters, who are adults only in the way an 8-year-old might imagine them. Children may enjoy this, but their adult escorts will have a harder time.
''Batteries Not Included, begins with a lengthy build-up to the saucers' arrival, which is of course the moment in which the film springs to life. Before that, it has been concentrating on the various residents of a soon-to-be-demolished East Village tenement. Each of these characters can be described in a single phrase, from the starving artist (Dennis Boutsikaris) to the hoodlum with a heart of gold (Michael Carmine) to the shy, kindly superintendant (Frank McRae) to the pregnant woman upstairs (Elizabeth Pena). Children in the audience aren't apt to wonder why this woman isn't married. ''Batteries Not Included'' isn't the kind of film that prompts questions of any kind.
Luckily, the group also includes Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy as a beleaguered restaurant owner and his charmingly dotty wife, a woman whose senility seems to have left her in a state of grace. It is she who first spots ''the little guys,'' as she calls them, when these electricity-seeking saucers arrive at the tenement and begin to save the day. They like to fix things, and so they come in very handy.
At first they look purely mechanical, but it turns out that the saucers have big, wistful eyes and like to affect the heart-rending blink. This is simply going too far. What's worse, they mate and have baby saucers, and the babies are easily confused with hamburgers, and . . . Adults in the audience may well spend time wondering what to add to their Christmas lists by this point. It won't be saucer toys.
''Batteries Not Included'' was directed by Matthew Robbins, with Steven Spielberg as executive producer. It's been well made and, especially in Miss Tandy's case, acted with a sense of fun. But the time for this brand of fantasy may have come and gone
