All roads lead to magical, merry Toyland as Mary Contrary and Tom Piper prepare for their wedding! But villainous Barnaby wants Mary for himself, so he kidnaps Tom, setting off a series of comic chases, searches, and double-crosses! The "March Of The Wooden Soldiers" helps put Barnaby in his place, and ensures a "happily ever after" for Tom and Mary!

Ray Bolger was the highlight of this movie for me. He was absolutely hilarious! I even cited this in one of my essays in college as a prime example of camp in film. There were a few bits that were somewhat haunting though. Maybe not the most suitable movie for small children who are prone to nightmares.

Wow, this is a really bad film, with almost no story, no plot, lousy choreography, and songs that sound the same. Annette is really not even there, she has nothing to do, and what she does do is bland and without any personality. Tommy Sands at least comes to life during his gypsy in drag number. I was really bored and can't imagine anyone but very young kids finding anything here to keep them interested and awake. Ed Wynn and Ray Bolger are wasted, and the comic sidekicks are underused. Jack Donahue directed, and he really does nothing with what he has to make things better. I watched it for a project for work, and it really is a waste of time.

It's a 1960s Disney Musical, I should not have to say more than this about the movie.It's great for kids, unfortunately.I remember seeing it, and liking it as a kid - and got it for my 3 yr old daughter.My wife hates me for it. Not that the movie is that horrible - but my daughter is in love with Tommy Sands and wants to watch this movie every night.My wife even took my daughter to the library and checked out kids movies - she was excited until she got home, and just said she wanted to watch Tom and Mary (The names of the main actors in the movie) If you have little kids - they'll love it. You might even enjoy it some yourself - until it's overplayed.

i love this movie and it's a terrific classic, all the movie characters are mother goose characters living in a town with such houses as the giant shoe and the pumpkin house. Little bo peep lost her sheep in the forest of no return causing mary contrary and tom piper to follow the kids after them when they attempt to locate the lost animals...instead they stumble upon the lost toyland and get pulled into a world of mishaps including a shrinking invention gone wrong, making tom piper no more than a few inches tall....also there are wonderful songs and dance scenes including a gypsie dance and beautiful serenades by the classic annette funicello...a must see kid classic!
