1. Babes in Toyland (1934) stars Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy ...

Stan and Ollie fans should be sure to see it -- the fellas are at their peak here.

2. We NEVER missed a broadcast of "March of the Wooden Soldiers"

...as it was often called, when it was shown by a New York station each holiday season.

3. Huh -- it was given a second title at sometime.

It's a really sweet film -- I had a VHS copy a while back.
