Two days ago I woke up knowing I was going to face one of the most gruelling days I have ever faced. While I was in the shower I thought about this movie, and said "you know what? The wooden soldiers". As the day went on I kept humming this song to myself. It helped me make it through the day, and everything turned out great. Thanks, Stan and Ollie.
Not only is this film a great comfort to watch, year after year, but the comments here are just as good. It is memories like this that really bind us all together. These comments have been as heartwarming as the film itself. How excellent is that?
I remember watching this as a child at my Grandmothers house every Christmas and Thanksgiving too I believe. Amazing how much time has gone by since the 60s and 70s and how things have changed but this movie remains unchanged forever a memory that still gets refreshed every year
Love this music, makes me want to beat up the Boogey Men within my life, yet I always felt sorry for Ollie in the end. Poor guy, helps defeat the Boogey Men, gets injured and everybody laughs at him. Makes me sad.
Love this. A classic triumphant moment of comedy beating the bad guy to save Toyland. It was a building block in my young soul and still hasn't lost its ability to inspire me.
@MrPaulj1959 read the latest posting about the movie being symbolic , they dont't the american people getting the Idea of taking back their country from the Banksters
Reading all those wonderful posts made me feel real good. The story stands for myself too, its a classic and have loved the movie for as long as I could remember. In my 40s now and it is my belief that this movie ranks as one of the best of all time.
Watching this film has been my husband's thanksgiving day tradition ever since he was little.... He made me watch it with him today. Thank you so much for uploading MotWS to Youtube!
I haven't been able to find this movie on any channel in years. So disappointing, this was a Thanksgiving Day tradition in my home growing up. Would love to see it again, as well as a lot of family members who miss it also.
@1silverbay - you brought a tear to my eye! Yes, that's exactly how it was, and I might add, while driving to my Aunt's in Long Island, a rock radio station I can't remember used to play Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" which took up a good part of the ride. Thank you much for sharing!
For those in the New York area, this is what Thanksgiving is all about. The smell of turkey cooking in the oven, mothers fixing the rest of dinner in the kitchen, first the animated Gulliver's Travel, then March ... playing on channel 11, then waiting for King Kong, Son of Kong, and Mighty Joe Young, watch a little of the parade and then sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner. What memories.
This film is a classic that doesn't get the attention it deserves. Still it loved by fans who still watch it year after year. Great animated sequence for 1934!
i have always watch this when they had on it on t.v. growing up at my grandmas house i found it on dvd i had to buy it still watch it every christmas now i can watch it when every i was too
what is the real significance behind this movie...I see a Jewish landowner, controlling dangerous minorities and a community trying to keep safe while exhibiting a slight touch of xenophobia? On a lighter note, the movie is a classic.
This is the real movie version of"Babes In Toyland!"..not those damn NBC TV remakes or that patronizing,overrated idiocy of Mr.Disney's..L&H's movie version
When the toy soldiers give the call to battle. I still get goosebumps. To see them lay some whoop-ass on the boogiemen, makes me feel like a kid again.
As surreal as I remember. As a kid I remember that it freaked me out when the soldier's head would come off and would still be walking, truly creepy!!!!
Thanks so much for posting this! All through my childhood (and quite a few years beyond) the B&W version was broadcast once a year on Thanksgiving Day and I never missed it - it was a family tradition and to me it meant the beginning of the Christmas season! Its been years since I've seen it, and never in color - wonderful!! Thanks again!
U know what I find kinda funny they're supposed 2 b wooden toy soldiers but they're all flexible & they know who the enemy is without the use of computer programming this is still my favorite part of the movie & 1 of my all-time movies as well
classic film,....still holds up today....maybe we can get the soldiers to march to washington and sweep some of those so called career politicians out
I am from Germany, but still think the same as you........please, if the wooden soldiers have done their job in Washington its possible to send them to Berlin....... its the same case....
I'm 52 and I've watched this scene thousands of times since I was a kid, during the holidays but also when I'm feeling despair or distress. It's just comforting to know that when all seems lost, there is a warehouse of wooden soliders waiting to be activated to save the day.
Not only this movie but Laurel and Hardy in general were a staple on American TV up through the mid 90's. Now they are rarely seen on TV anymore, I feel sorry for so many that can't feel the magic we do.
@anthonylaudati this movie was made in the 30's and sybolic , hitler was barnaby ,the nazis were the bogeymen , toyland set astride from the old shoe was Europe the old shoe was the Depression US and the toy soldiers was the Mobilization of the United States Laural and Hardy were suppost to be the backward US that made an army by mistake
does anyone know where i can get an mp3 of this song? like the orchestra version? i looked on itunes and they dont have anything from the 1934 version
As an old adult, I love the way I can jump up and down in my seat, cheer and shed tears, and laugh with the freedom that has been lost for nearly half a century. I can only wish that our grandchildren and beyond can know the beauty, values and the heart in such a film. A generation is passing now, and perhaps the oncoming generation will take a minute and reflect on what has passed

@Stateless1953, I remember the very same...wouldn't have been Thanksgiving without it. I have it on DVD now and my family and I watch it every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I love how of all people, ollie is the one with the idea to use the wooden soldiers. i also love how they make the transition from real soldiers to the wooden ones.
hm, what kind of toyshop makes functional cannons? then again, when Ollie and Stannie are running shop, of course the workings will seem incompetent, xD
Thank you for posting the whole thing. I remember watching this at my Grandmothers near Christmas time and I remember she loved it and so did I and I still do today, it brings back great memory's so thank you again :)
@mcbain752 ...most people dont know but the gentleman who played old barnaby was actually 23 years old when he did this movie>> i know its irrevelent to the point but i thought i share the info!!
Hal Roach had to get permission from Walt Disney to use the "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf" music for The scene with the Three Little Pigs. And if you noticed the little Captain Of The Guard, that is Billy Belcher who also did the voice of the Wolf in Disneys Three Little Pigs.
@WPG718 Our border laws need to be enforced. That said, the mexicans who are coming here are not demons. There are few opportunites in their country. If anybody with common sense, a sense of self preservation and who wanted to provide for their family would do the same thing that they are doing. Kinda like how our ancestors came to America from England and Europe.
@crabula My point is: we should enforce our laws and prevent illegal immigration, deport illegal immigrants but...there is no reason to demonize people who are simply trying to struggle into a better life!! I'm not even a christian (in fact I'm an atheist) but I believe in compassion / empathy.
I've watched this movie every single year during the holidays since i was like 8 i love it, does anyone know the name of the black and white movie that is usually shown right after this movie on channel 11??????? its the one where laurel and hardy are on a ghost ship or something like that
i like the to know the relationship between barnaby and the bogeymen,i love how barnaby turns into a complte nutjob at the end!has blck around his eyes and his hair is in a insane way!
Great movie! I love the look on Stan Laurel's face when he looks at the wooden soldiers and it "dawns" on him that he can summon the wooden soldiers! All the warehouse workers know about the soldiers. But, only Stan has the "moment of brilliance"!
I also absolutely loved the look on Barnaby's face when he sees the Wooden Soldiers coming straight for him! LOL
I wonder how many people know that the guy who played Silas Barnaby was the YOUNGEST member of the cast at 21 YEARS OLD! It was all makeup. Don't believe it? look it up!
Thanks for posting this - although primitive by today's standards (stop action/kroma Key IIRC), it shows a lot of care in the wooden soldier animation, especially with the differnt camera angles.
Dear CaryComic, At one time.WOR TV Ch.9 in NYC..aired this film in December of 1959 and WCBS TV Ch.2 in NYC aired this film on"The Early Show"on Christmas Day,1956.."Believe It Or Else?!".
Thanx! Great to see after so many years.; although, I remember it in the old B/W, but probably because we ALL had B/W TV @ the time...still bad acid with those Boogey guys! Good job, looks grand! Roberto
The "Wooden Soldiers & The Bogeymen"in this classic finale are played by stunt men and athletes..The little boy clutching the leg of the wooden soldier is..Dick Jones..who would go onto greater movie fame as the voice of Walt Disney's"Pinocchio!".."Believe It or Else?!".
Rofl, Barnaby was this *puts thumb and index finger togther* close to winning! Love his sudden lunatic side! xD
My dad got me into this movie, he watched it when he was a kid and every thanksgiving we like to rewatch it. Better then twlight, harry potter, and all that other teen crap out their these days.
Love it when the soldiers come out to that music. That music meant that that the men from boggie land were about to GET IT! This never gets old and is a near legend in its own right or is it?
@Ratt1959 Yeah, my favorite of all time. I grew up watching it every Thanxgiving day in the 50s n' 60s, I just saw the film this past Christmas day on WPIX Channel 11 at 1PM. Hopefully, WPIX's showing it every Christmas @ 1PM since, they stopped showing it on Thanxgiving, as they used to.
This version was colorized in 1991 and by today standards it's very soft and blurry ... I'd love to find the newer 2006 colorized version by Legend Films... I heard it's much cleaner and even rivals the clearity of the original black and white version.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. My nana, grandpa, mom, dad, aunts, uncles, cousins and I watch this every christmas. My nana and grandpa know every line and we always get excited and point out our favorite parts of the movie even though all of us have seen it so many times. Watching this movie with my family is and always will be one of the reasons why I love the holidays.
1:52 yeah because all bayonets do that...

Ollie and Stanley mistake making 600 toy soldiers 6" high for Santa Claus, instead make 100 soldiers 6' tall. Their mistake saves Toyland!
Great music, great lyrics, great screenplay, great story, great everything!

The wooden soldiers need to be deployed to the US/Mexican border. Why is it the Bogeymen remind me of illegal aliens?

@WPG718 Our border laws need to be enforced. That said, the mexicans who are coming here are not demons. There are few opportunites in their country. If anybody with common sense, a sense of self preservation and who wanted to provide for their family would do the same thing that they are doing. Kinda like how our ancestors came to America from England and Europe.

@crabula My point is: we should enforce our laws and prevent illegal immigration, deport illegal immigrants but...there is no reason to demonize people who are simply trying to struggle into a better life!! I'm not even a christian (in fact I'm an atheist) but I believe in compassion / empathy.

Great movie! I love the look on Stan Laurel's face when he looks at the wooden soldiers and it "dawns" on him that he can summon the wooden soldiers! All the warehouse workers know about the soldiers. But, only Stan has the "moment of brilliance"!
I also absolutely loved the look on Barnaby's face when he sees the Wooden Soldiers coming straight for him! LOL

I wonder how many people know that the guy who played Silas Barnaby was the YOUNGEST member of the cast at 21 YEARS OLD! It was all makeup. Don't believe it? look it up!

Thanks for posting this - although primitive by today's standards (stop action/kroma Key IIRC), it shows a lot of care in the wooden soldier animation, especially with the differnt camera angles.

Thanx! Great to see after so many years.; although, I remember it in the old B/W, but probably because we ALL had B/W TV @ the time...still bad acid with those Boogey guys! Good job, looks grand! Roberto

The "Wooden Soldiers & The Bogeymen"in this classic finale are played by stunt men and athletes..The little boy clutching the leg of the wooden soldier is..Dick Jones..who would go onto greater movie fame as the voice of Walt Disney's"Pinocchio!".."Believe It or Else?!".

Probably because they believe the audience is not there for it.
They show it early in the morning, edited, and colorized.
When I was a kid, they used to show this all the time during the Holiday Season.

Love it when the soldiers come out to that music. That music meant that that the men from boggie land were about to GET IT! This never gets old and is a near legend in its own right or is it?

this was the highlight of the movie. i wish i could have a couple of those soldiers displayed in my house. that's nice music.

A true classic, in every sense of the word. And, that self-readjusting cannon? It must have been made by Acme Industries (a WB subsiduary) . Lol!

I love when Barnaby gets hit by the cork from the cannon, and when the piggie hits him over the head. His reactions are priceless!

@Ratt1959 Yeah, my favorite of all time. I grew up watching it every Thanxgiving day in the 50s n' 60s, I just saw the film this past Christmas day on WPIX Channel 11 at 1PM. Hopefully, WPIX's showing it every Christmas @ 1PM since, they stopped showing it on Thanxgiving, as they used to.

Great movie !!!
This version was colorized in 1991 and by today standards it's very soft and blurry ... I'd love to find the newer 2006 colorized version by Legend Films... I heard it's much cleaner and even rivals the clearity of the original black and white version.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. My nana, grandpa, mom, dad, aunts, uncles, cousins and I watch this every christmas. My nana and grandpa know every line and we always get excited and point out our favorite parts of the movie even though all of us have seen it so many times. Watching this movie with my family is and always will be one of the reasons why I love the holidays.
