  Babes in Toyland Review (1934)
In Toyland, Stannie Dum (Stan Laurel) and Ollie Dee (Oliver Hardy) work in the toymaker's workshop, but get the sack when they make 100 6 foot high soldiers instead of 600 1 foot high soldiers for Santa.
The inhabitants of Toyland live in fear of the Morlock-like Bogeymen from Bogeyland, who fail to keep their noses clean when they invade, with the intention of eating all the nice characters.
Babes in Toyland is a curiosity, then, but an absorbing one, never dull, and full of unexpected and bizarre touches.

 Babes in Toyland (operetta) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Babes in Toyland is a 1903 operetta by Victor Herbert, which wove together various characters from Mother Goose nursery rhymes into a musical — mainly because librettist Glen MacDonough wanted to cash in on the Wizard of Oz phenomena sweeping Broadway that year.
Kids Little Jane and Little Allen are swept away to a fantastic land with fantastic settings (e.g., the Floral Palace of the Moth Queen, the Garden of Contrary Mary) allowed for lots of spectacle to bring the audiences in.
Most people know of the operreta from film versions; either Laurel and Hardy's 1934 version (which includes almost none of Herbert's songs or book), or the Technicolor remake from 1961 from Walt Disney featuring Ray Bolger, Tommy Sands, and Annette Funicello.

 Babes in Toyland (1997)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
This version of "Babes in Toyland" is genuinely charming, boasts nice animation and superb songs which actually WORK without being overly "showy" (the only bummer being the song sung in The Goblin Forest), fine character design and captures a special childlike magic and innocence that Disney's version simply never achieved.
Except for the classic songs "Toyland" and "March of The Toy Soldiers" and the basic concept of Toyland being a home for nursery rhyme characters, the villain Barnaby and a love story between a Tom and Mary, it is otherwise COMPLETELY dissimilar to the Disney version of the story.
Mary (and her little lamb) is the sweet, professional and kindhearted owner of Toyland's prized toy factory inherited from her father.

 Babes in Toyland | Retro Junk
Movie Plot:While Walt Disney's 1961 filmiztation of Victor Herbert's Babes in Toyland pales in comparison to the 1934 movie version starring Laurel & Hardy, the Disney film is an unqualified classic when compared to the ill-starred 1986 TV version.
Only "March of the Toys" and "Toyland" have been retained from the original Victor Herbert score; the rest of the songs were specially written for this adaptation by Leslie Bricusse-and, suffice to say, these were hardly classics.

 Dan Schneider on Babes In Toyland
Babes In Toyland is not in a cinematic league with the Jimmy Stewart classic, but it’s an even greater treat for children.
Babes In Toyland, while it may not be technically a better film than The Wizard Of Oz, is the better and more effective film, and its moments of strangeness and scariness far surpass the Judy Garland vehicle.
That said, Babes In Toyland does everything a film or any work of art should do- it entertains, moves, and affects you in deeper ways than are immediately understood, even if none of this was intended.

The movie culminates in a full-scale invasion of Toyland by the yeti-ish Bogeymen and their defeat by the 100 six-foot wooden soldiers which Stan and Ollie have built by mistake.
March of the Wooden Soldiers (Babes in Toyland) is one of a few Laurel and Hardy features in which Hal Roach lost ownership.
In fact Disney studied this film quite closely and remade it under the original title `Babes in Toyland` with obvious mimics of Stan and Ollie, but it was a poor, jazzed-up, shadow of the original.

 Babes in Toyland (1961)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
When Victor Herbert produced his `Babes in Toyland' on Broadway in 1903, it followed on the steps of the preceding stage extravaganza, `The Wizard of Oz', which it outdid in magnificence, costliness (its shipwreck scene outdid `The Wizard's cyclone, its Toyland outdid the other's Emerald City, etc.), imagination and original melodies.
This is very ironic since it contributed to `Babes' downfall at the box office and served as a lesson to Disney who did everything in his power, subsequently, with `Mary Poppins' to provide a great score, first-class singers, great orchestration, and a nostalgic feel closer to traditional turn-of-the century entertainments.
The title song, the very inspiring `Toyland', is not even given a proper (choral) rendition but is instead screeched by a group of untalented children walking through the forest as if on their way to the washrooms of an amusement park to regurgitate their candy floss.

 Scifilm -- Musings, BABES IN TOYLAND (1961)
Back when I covered THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939), I essentially avoided the pitfall of mouthing platitudes about the movie by cleverly (or spinelessly, as the case may be) speaking of it in terms of other movies entirely.
This is a mistake; without that sense of danger, this movie never develops into anything other than a piece of fluff.
For me, the movie doesn't really become fun until Ed Wynn shows up, and though this is partly because I find Wynn a fun and comfortable comic presence, it is also because Wynn's distinctly non-musical presence inspires the filmmakers to blessedly dispense with the singing and dancing for the most part.
