1961:
Disney's first live-action musical feature film Babes in Toyland, starring Ray Bolger, Tommy Sands, Annette Funicello, and Ed Wynn is released. Mother Goose Village is celebrating two of its most beloved citizens, lovely Mary Contrary (Annette Funicello) and handsome Tom Piper (Tommy Sands), who are about to wed—only the dastardly Barnaby (Ray Bolger; pictured left) seeks to stop their happiness. Directed by Jack Donohue, the film is based upon Victor Herbert's popular 1903 operetta Babes in Toyland and adapted by Disney songwriter George Bruns specifically for this production. The film’s climax is the rousing “March of the Wooden Soldiers” sequence, in which a miniaturized Tom leads a toy battalion against Barnaby. Ward Kimball (an avid toy collector) has headed the special unit set up for the making of the more than 100 toys created especially for this scene.
