A traditional Thanksgiving special in America, MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS is a Laurel and Hardy musical film released on March 10, 1934. The film was originally called BABES IN TOYLAND and is also known by the alternate titles: LAUREL AND HARDY IN TOYLAND and REVENGE IS SWEET (the 1948 European reissue title).

Based on Victor Herbert's popular 1903 operetta BABES IN TOYLAND, the film was produced by Hal Roach, directed by Charles Rogers and Gus Meins, and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Originally filmed in black-and-white, this one of two different computer colorized versions.

Although the 1934 film makes use of many of the characters in the original play, as well as several of the songs, the plot is almost completely unlike that of the original stage production. In contrast to the stage version, the film's story takes place entirely in Toyland, which is inhabited by Mother Goose (Virginia Karns) and other well known fairy tale characters.
