5.0 out of 5 stars Disney's Holiday Musical, Dec 19 2008

This review is from: Babes in Toyland (DVD)

This film is one of my favorite Disney live-action musicals, and a wonderful Christmas film too. It use to be on TV when I was a kid; but not anymore, but I was fortunate to buy it on DVD. The film is also based on an operetta by Victor Herbert, with new lyrics by Mel Leven; 'course I think it's a great soundtrack.

In the film, Annette Funicello plays Mary Quite-Contrary and Tommy Sands plays Mary's fiancée Tom Piper, the Piper's son. As Mary and Tom's wedding approaches, evil schemer Barnaby (The Wizard of OZ's Ray Bolger) hatches a plot to drown Tom, and steal Mary's sheep in an effort to get her to marry him (for the money she will inherit). But unfortunately for Barnaby, the two henchmen he had order to kill Tom, kidnap him instead and sell him to a band of gypsies (for more money of course, since they're being payed by Barnaby to get rid of Tom), from whom Tom is able to escape. When Mary discovers Tom is alive, the couple had a happy reunion. But when the two went back to Mary's cottage, the children in Marys' care (Wee Willie Winkie,Little Boy Blue and Little Bo Peep) had gone to look for the sheep in the Forest of No Return. The two found the children, but they spend the night in the forest. In the morning, the band were "captured" by the trees of the forest and escorted to Toyland to see the Toymaker.

Overall, this film's a wonderful Disney production (despite it's disappointing box office performance)
