Mary, Mary Quite Contrary (Funicello) and Tom the Piper\u2019s Son (Sands) are to be married. However, evil Barnaby (Bolger) has other ideas. Mary will inherit a large sum of money when she marries and Barnaby wants it. He hires two crooks (Calvin, Sheldon) to kill Tom by throwing him into the sea. Barnaby is also going to steal Bo Peep\u2019s (Jillian) sheep so that Mary no longer has an income and will have to marry him. However, the crooks decide to make their own profit by selling Tom to gypsies, rather than drowning him.<\/p>\n<p>While Barnaby is trying to woo Mary, the other children search for the lost sheep in the Forest of No Return. They all stumble upon Toyland, where the Toymaker and his assistant Grumio (Wynn, Kirk) are preparing for Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trivia:<\/p>\n<p>-The first live-action musical made by Disney, it failed commercially.

You couldn\u2019t not like him. He was completely crazy and he was just as crazy offscreen as he was on. But it was all, of course, an act. He was a very serious, religious man in his own way, but he loved playing Ed Wynn, the perfect fool, the complete nut. And he was good at it. Actually I think the movie is sort of a klunker, especially when I compare it to the Laurel and Hardy Babes in Toyland. It\u2019s not a great film but it has a few cute moments. It\u2019s an oddity.

That\u2019s how I feel, unfortunately,\u00a0about Babes in Toyland. My family even owns this movie because we love Annette and really want to love this film. Walt Disney was hoping to make Babes in Toyland to be on the same scale as The Wizard of Oz (1939), but it somehow just didn\u2019t pan out. I guess I\u2019m not alone in my dismay, since this was a commercial failure when it was released in December of 1961.<\/p>\n<p>It has it all: Annette, who I adore; an excellent cast (there isn\u2019t an actor in this I don\u2019t love); beautiful costumes; colorful sets; and it\u2019s Disney! But somehow it falls short. Though I love musicals, this movie is song after song after song. Probably because it is based off of a 1903 Victor Hubert operetta. My favorite song by far is \u201cI Can\u2019t Do the Sum,\u201d where Annette Funicello worries about how her family will pay the bills. I guess I also really like this song, because I related to it when I started living on my own.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/babes-in-toyland-1961-disneys-original-toy-story\/babes-in-toyland-1961-4\/#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-45059\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45059\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/BABES-IN-TOYLAND-1961-4.jpg\" alt=\"BABES IN TOYLAND 1961 4\" width=\"410\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/BABES-IN-TOYLAND-1961-4.jpg 410w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/BABES-IN-TOYLAND-1961-4-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><\/a>I think another flaw is that the story line lags in places and 105 minutes seems a bit long for this story. The villains in the film also are irritating. Though Ray Bolger, Henry Calvin and Gene Sheldon are all wonderful actors, their characters are tiresome. When my mom and I revisited this film, we would groan every time they came on screen.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong, I don\u2019t hate Babes in Toyland. I just wish it could be better. For me, the best part of the film is any time Annette comes on screen. Annette was such a bright spot in anything she was in and is what makes Babes in Toyland worth watching at all. I also love Disney regulars Tommy Kirk and Kevin Corcoran, who are both in the film, but sadly neither has very much screen time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/babes-in-toyland-1961-disneys-original-toy-story\/babes-in-toyland-1961-3\/#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-45060\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45060\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/BABES-IN-TOYLAND-1961-3.jpg\" alt=\"BABES IN TOYLAND 1961 3\" width=\"410\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/BABES-IN-TOYLAND-1961-3.jpg 410w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/BABES-IN-TOYLAND-1961-3-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><\/a>I\u2019m not sure what could have made this film better.
