It's from a Movie called "March of the Wooden Soldiers" from the 1930's. It stars Laurel and Hardy and is based on the book(?) Babes in Toyland. It has lots of WTF scenes, but pretty harmless. Basic Plot: Mother Goose has a daughter who loves Tom-Tom (who BTW looks like a young Paul McCartney) but the evil rich guy in town wants her for himself, so he sets up Tom-Tom to be falsely accused of murdering one of the 3 little pigs, and ends up getting banished to Boogeyman Land. (I SWEAR I am not making any of this up!!) Meanwhile, Laurel and Hardy are toymakers, who make a mistake in producing toy soldiers for Santa, who wanted a 100 of them 6 inches tall, but they make them 6 feet tall. Oh-- and IT'S A MUSICAL!! I watched this movie dozens of times when I was a kid, so that's how I remember these details. Not gonna spoil anything for you, as it is a perfect movie to watch buzzed!!

When did it get named march of the wooden soldiers? I have nothing but my childhood memories, but I never heard it called that, only babes in Toyland.

My dad got this movie for me when I was really little. I don't think my parents realized how many nightmares this movie gave me.
