Babes in Toyland began as a 1903 operetta by popular American composer Victor Herbert in which Fairy Tale and Mother Goose characters acted out a fairly standard Babes-In-The-Wood plot in Toyland, where Evil Uncle Barnaby has attempted to do away with his niece and nephew Jane and Alan — and incidentally to steal Alan's lady love, Contrary Mary. The operetta featured some of Herbert's most famous musical pieces, such as "Castle In Spain," "Go To Sleep, Slumber Deep," "I Can't Do The Sum," the "March of the Toys," and "Toyland."In 1934 a film version starring Laurel and Hardy was made. The film is also known by its alternate titles Laurel and Hardy in Toyland, Revenge Is Sweet, March of the Wooden Soldiers and Wooden Soldiers. The filmnote written by Hal Roach, extensively revised by Stan Laurel follows Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in their misadventures, attempting to thwart the villainous Mr. Barnaby (the "crooked little man" from the nursery rhyme) in his lascivious designs upon the heroine, Little Bo-Peep.In 1961 Walt Disney Productions made a Live-Action version, starring Annette Funicello as Mary Contrary, Ray Bolger as Barnaby, Tommy Sands as Tom, Tom the Piper's Son, and Ed Wynn as the Toymaker. Barnaby's henchmen were portrayed by Henry Calvin and Gene Sheldon in a manner directly reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy from the 1934 film. It marked Disney's first all-live-action musical, and after they began burying Song of the South, they instead declared Babes their first live-action musical overall.In 1975, the Light Opera of Manhattan, with the approval of the Victor Herbert Foundation, presented an adaptation with a new book and lyrics by Alice Hammerstein Mathias (daughter of Oscar Hammerstein II) that ran every holiday season in New York from 1975-88 and still tours occasionally. In this version, Jane and Alan feel neglected by their workaholic, discipline-minded parents, so they run away to Toyland in the belief they will be happier there; they are welcomed by the Toymaker, who cautions them against falling too far under Toyland's spell, but the singing and dancing toys are too much for the siblings to resist. Barnaby is replaced as the main villain by a corrupt detective whom Jane and Alan's parents send to Toyland to retrieve them; once there, he forces the children to help him steal a new toy soldier design from the Toymaker. The music is largely unchanged, although it includes a few melodies from other Herbert operettas.Notable TV versions include a 1986 Live Action Television version featuring Drew Barrymore and Keanu Reeves, and a 1997 Animated Adaptation by Toby Bluth (brother of Don).Not to be confused with The '90s Alternative Rock band Babes in Toyland. | |

Villain Song | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: Although it's not a villain song in the original operetta, Barnaby along with his henchmen in the Disney and Francoeur versions gets "We Won't Be Happy 'Til We Get It" in which he's cheerfully villainous, admitted he has no real excuse for it. Notable in that in the Francoeur version it's the very first song, so as to leave no doubt as to who the Bad Guy is supposed to be. "We'll forge a check, or cut your neck, if we can make a dime!" "Monsterpiece" for Barnaby in the 1986 version. There's also "A Crooked Man" from the 1997 version, which doubles as a "The Villain Sucks" Song: his backup singers are clearly not pleased with him, but Barnaby takes their slams on his character as compliments nonetheless. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: The Disney version has at least two scenes in which characters talk to the viewers. And of course, in the earlier film version, Ollie does his legendary exasperated look toward the camera every time Stan does something frustrating. | |

| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Early in the film, Stannie and Ollie are hired to make six hundred wooden soldiers, each one foot tall. They botch the job and end up making a hundred wooden soldiers six feet tall instead, which gets them fired. However, at the end of the film, the massive soldiers prove the perfect army against the invading bogeymen, taking them out with ease. | |

Uncertain Doom | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_2854b56d | comment |
Uncertain Doom: Commonly played with Barnaby in the film adaptations. In the 1986 film, he is implied to be killed by his trolls when they turn against him. In the animated film, he is last seen being chased by goblins, presumably to be eaten, after insulting their recently-deceased king. In the 1961 film, his fate seems a little less ambiguous, as he is stabbed by Tom during their swordfight and falls from a great height into a toy box, and is never seen again afterwards, but publicity stills and the comic adaptation change the ending so he is imprisoned in the bird cage rather than stabbed, making his fate seem more ambiguous to some. Ironically, in the original story his death is definitive when he drinks poison. | |

Five-Second Foreshadowing | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_381855db | comment |
Five-Second Foreshadowing: Grumio's second invention is a shrink ray that can essentially convert furniture into toy versions. Observant viewers would immediately think this is counterproductive, as it would take many resources to build full-sized furniture only to shrink it down while simply building the toys from scratch would be far more efficient. Indeed, Tom & Mary ask the Toymaker "Where are you going to get big things to reduce to small things?" | |

Forgotten Trope | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_381c2e91 | comment |
Forgotten Trope: Babes in Toyland is the only surviving example of the "extravaganza," the American equivalent of English pantomime, which was a family-friendly type of musical using typical pantomime characters and settings. In the first decade of the twentieth century, stage adaptations of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (which had L. Frank Baum's involvement) and Little Nemo followed the extravaganza format; the genre survived until the Great Depression. | |

Seduction Lyric | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_3e7e7870 | comment |
Seduction Lyric: In the 1961 film, "Castle in Spain" is a Villain Love Song in which the villain seeks to seduce a woman with the offer of material goods — "You'll eat nothing but cake / You'll drink naught but champagne / You'll be in on the take / In our castle in Spain". Admittedly the villain is supposedly trying to seduce his target into marriage rather than sex as such, but this is a 1961 Disney movie, and it's easy to see this as a metaphor, especially given the song's last lines: "You have caught me today / In a generous vein. / Come now, what do you say? / To our castle in / ahh... ahh... ahh... ahh... Spain!" | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: In the original stage version, Barnaby's not actually the main villain. Yes, he seems to be at first, since he's actively trying to harm his child relations... But then he joins forces with a character called the Master Toymaker, who's actively trying to harm all children. Later adaptations have been almost unanimous in deciding that's just too many villains, and completely rewriting the Toymaker character into a good guy. Taken up to eleven in the 1986 version, where the Toymaker isn't just promoted to harmless... he's promoted all the way up to being Santa Claus in disguise. | |

In the 1961 version, the Toymaker calls Barnaby a monster and an ogre for intruding on his premises, shrinking him with the shrinking gun, and kidnapping him for his bidding. | |

Disney Death: Tom in the 1961 film, although it was hoaxed in the first place. Humpty Dumpty in the 1997 version is dropped off of a bridge by Barnaby, but is repaired by Tom at the end. | |

Named by the Adaptation: The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe is given the name "Widow Peep," largely so she can be related to Little Bo Peep. The Big Bad of the film is the "crooked man who walked a crooked mile," here given the name Barnaby. | |

Neutral Female: The hero and the villain are both shrunk down to toy size and then begin to engage in a swordfight while the normal-sized heroine watches them, very concerned. She could have just stepped on the bad guy! (Granted, she could have easily caught the hero, too! Or she just didn't think she could live with committing a cold-blooded murder...) | |

Grandfather Clause | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_7b74adb2 | comment |
Today, "babe" is more commonly used to mean "attractive woman" than "child" or "innocent person"; the odd (to modern ears) choice of words in the title being retained by remakes is probably the Grandfather Clause at work. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: The sheep, which are so crucial to Mary's livelihood and whose kidnapping to the forest of no return drives the second half of the story, discovery of Toyland, climactic battle, etc., never come up again, even after Barnaby's defeat. Bo Peep is even seen in full dress and holding a crook at the end, but with no sheep to look after. Did they get rescued or not? | |

Didn't Think This Through: After Grumio invents a shrinking gun to reduce furniture to toy size, the Toymaker is ecstatic — until Tom and Mary ask the Toymaker, "Where are you going to get big things to reduce to small things?" The Toymaker then asks Grumio the same question, but Grumio can't think of an answer. The Toymaker is not impressed. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Barnaby gets this twice during the final battle sequence against the wooden soldier army. First, the Three Little Pigs beat him up in revenge for his kidnapping of Elmer Pig earlier. Next, Barnaby ends up getting trapped in a collapsing house made of alphabet blocks, three of which spell out R-A-T to signify his true character. | |

Never My Fault | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: Played straight when Grumio's toymaking machine goes out of control up to the point where it explodes and falls apart. The Toymaker berates him, blaming him for faulty construction, but the disaster was actually caused by the Toymaker's own careless misuse of the controls. Somewhat averted later on when Grumio invents a gun that can shrink objects down to toy size, which the Toymaker approves of... until Tom asks where they will be able to find big things to shrink. As noted above, it turns out Grumio really didn't take time to consider this. | |

Holding the Floor: Shrunken and forced to officiate Barnaby and Mary equally forced wedding, the Toymaker resorts to this when he spots Tom sneaking away. He feigns forgetfulness, cracks wise at Barnaby's expense, and does whatever he can to delay the ceremony while Tom musters the toy soldiers to action. | |

Chekhov's Skill: It's established early in the movie that Stannie is good at "pee-wees," a game that involves throwing pointed darts on the ground, then whacking them when they bounce back into the air. During the final battle against the bogeymen, he's able to use his knack for the game to fire darts at the monsters, which saves quite a few citizens. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Honestly, everyone could've been spared a lot of trouble if not for the Toymaker's arrogance and carelessness, constantly undermining Grumio's inventions and having a poor temper at that. So inattentive is he that he literally throws the shrink ray into Barnaby's hands when he tosses the "failed" device out the window, creating a world of trouble for everybody present. | |

When Tom launches his attack on Barnaby, Barnaby decides to make good on his threat, but Mary grabs a toy cannon used in the attack and fires a shot at the shrinking gun. The gun is destroyed and the shrinking liquid inside spills on Barnaby, shrinking him down to toy size instead and forcing him to confront Tom in a Sword Fight. | |

Expy | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: In the 1934 version, there's a mouse who looks suspiciously like, well, THE Mouse. In the Disney movie, Gonzorgo and Roderigo seem to evoke Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel, as well as Zorro characters Sergeant García and Bernardo (who Henry Calvin and Gene Sheldon portrayed prior to Babes in Toyland). The character design for Bowler Hat Guy in Disney's Meet the Robinsons seems to be based directly on Ray Bolger's Mr. Barnaby from the Disney version of this story. Expys abound in the 1997 version. To wit: Mary = Belle and Scat (Barnaby's Cat) = Azrael. | |

Evil Wears Black: Barnaby wears all black outfits in most versions, compared to the colorful outfits of the rest of the cast. | |

Dumbass Has a Point | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_f360fc33 | comment |
Dumbass Has a Point: When the king of Toyland promises a reward for Barnaby captured "Dead or alive", Stannie and Ollie corner the crooked old man in his well. After waiting a while (Unaware that Barnaby has snuck off to Bogeyland) Stannie suggests they knock him out with a rock. "That way he'll be alive and dead." and Ollie applauds his idea. "now you're making sense!" | |

Have a Gay Old Time | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_fa6bfde9 | comment |
Have a Gay Old Time: Today, "babe" is more commonly used to mean "attractive woman" than "child" or "innocent person"; the odd (to modern ears) choice of words in the title being retained by remakes is probably the Grandfather Clause at work. "Never Mind, Bo Peep" also contains the lyric "So be gay, Bo Peep" | |

Brick Joke | |
| Babes in Toyland (Theatre) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: During the early stages of the battle against the bogeymen, Stannie and Ollie load a cannon filled with darts to fire at the monsters. While they're looking for more ammunition, Stannie notices the wooden soldiers and suggests they activate them instead, leading to the bogeymen getting routed. At the very end of the film, Ollie cockily suggests that they use the cannon to offer a "parting shot"—but the cannon ends up firing all of the darts at him instead. | |
