The Christmas Experiment 2015: Hours 15+16: March of the Wooden Soldier

Viewing Thoughts: Speaking of movies I fondly remember watching with my sister on VHS, we have the Laurel and Hardy version of Babes in Toy Land, March of the Wooden Soldiers. I watched a different version of this last year. I'm not going to recap since, while it is different, it's similar enough that I see little reason to do so.

Oddly enough, after a little research, I found that the freaking Disney version is more in line with the original operetta than this one. While some of the songs are kept in both films (though used in different contexts), the plots are different. This is mainly since you had a well-known comedy team starring. You gotta accommodate them somehow.

Most of the movie is centered towards Barneby wanting to marry Little Bo Peep, Laurel and Hardy trying to get her out of it, horrible things happening. Most of the end has to do with our villain rallying his troops in Boogeyland to take over Toyland so he can rule it all. Cue the title.

Notable Commercials: Celine Dion is doing late night commercials now. I don't know whether to feel bad for her or take a little happiness in how she has fallen.

Non-Viewing Thoughts: I'm realizing I have a lot more fond memories of my sister than I remember. Funny how that can happen sometimes.

Late Christmas Ideas:I admit, I could go for a tall soldier made of wood or... yeah, not finishing that thought...
