Based on the Victor Hugo operetta of the same name, its soundtrack included a number of key songs from the original stage production, even if the film took artistic liberty with the script. Cue the main overture - a playful piece of bombast that perfectly lifts the curtain on this fantasyland caper, and the scene-setting Toyland, sung by Virginia Karns, in her role as Mother Goose. The movie's epic finale, set to 'March of the Toys', sees a phalanx of wooden soldiers save the day. before a typically hilarious accident reminds us why Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy remain unparalleled as masters of their craft. It would be another fine mess if it weren't so great.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40318791352417,"sku":"5056083205141","price":8.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_10064884_jpg.jpg?v=1705497189","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/5056083205141-laurel-hardy-babes-in-toyland","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
