Victor Herbert operetta presented as vehicle for comedic genius of Laurel and Hardy. As Stanley Dum and Oliver Dee, L&H become the unsung heroes of Toyland when they avert the marriage of Bo Peep and the evil Barnaby, save the widow's abode (a multilevel shoe), rescue Tom-Tom from his exile
to Bogeyland (the highlight), and ultimately rid Toyland of the evil Barnaby forever. A beautiful example of family entertainment, with the "March of the Toys" number offering five minutes of raucous action that ends the film on a high note. BABES was remade, with increasingly diminished returns,
by Disney in 1961 with Tommy Sands and Annette Funicello and in 1986 with Keanu Ree...
