Since you probably have nothing better to do today than watch a 77 minute movie in a little window on somebody's website: Here's the splendid 1934 holiday feature starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Upon its initial release, it was called Babes in Toyland and it was around two minutes longer than this print. Over the years, it was reissued and recut and renamed a half-dozen different names, including a major 1948 re-release that called it March of the Wooden Soldiers and changed its main title. Prints from that version later became ubiquitous on television so that name became the more common one. In the video below, you can see the edit in the opening when it cuts from the old titles to the newer one.

It is, by any name, a great movie. I posted the trailer and some background info here and then there's a lot more information in this item. Merry Today!
