The film is an authentic children's entertainment and quite the merriest of its kind that Hollywood has turned loose on the nation's screens in a long time.

This is a kid's movie rife with all the Freudian squalor that Disney repressed.

Appealing to both children and adults.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy made this definitive, charming version of 'Babes in Toyland' in 1934.

The innocent colour, humour, vibrancy and decent songs here should be capable of distracting anyone away from the Nintendo for an hour or so.

A delightful treasure, especially in its uncut, original Babes in Toyland release.

A Christmas favorite.

Fair is fair, so it really isn't a Christmas movie, but it'd take an outright Scrooge to complain about that.

First of all I think the story of Babes in Toyland is pretty stupid itself, but this movie has Laurel and Hardy, who could have made the movie funny, but they're just distracting. Although I'd welcome a distraction from having to watch this movie, they're not as funny as they think.

This movie never gets old! I watch this every Thanksgiving at my grandparents's house and I enjoy it everytime. The characters are so sweet and lovable and this is so hilarious! A must-see for adults and kids alike. "Christmas? Christmas in the middle of July?!"
