“Babes in Toyland” is in demand every year, see why the first and original Long Island program of this film continues to draw large crowds. It has been called the most entertaining, unique and thorough analysis of the film and it’s stars to date. As the Co-Grand Sheik of the Long Island Laurel and Hardy Appreciation Society (a/k/a “The Sons of the Desert”), I have a very special love and appreciation for this film. Also known as “March of the Wooden Soldiers”, learn the back story to the making of this holiday classic that eventually led to “The Boys” leaving Hal Roach studios. Film highlights in a colorized version (as Stan Laurel wanted the film to be shot in color) will be screened. See why this is one of Laurel and Hardy’s greatest films and how this holiday classic still entertains children and adults today! Insight, laughs, music and a rousing finish make for a wonderful afternoon of fun. Original soundtrack music is included as is an autograph, memorabilia and book display.
