From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parade_of_the_Wooden_Soldiers:
Parade of the Wooden Soldiers is a 1933 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop. It is now public domain.
The instrumental title theme (also known as "Parade of the Tin Soldiers") was composed by Leon Jessel, and is popular as Christmas music.
A large factory complex struggles to produce a single package, which is rushed to a toy store. The box opens, and out steps a Betty Boop doll. The other toys come to life, parade around to the music of Parade of the Wooden Soldiers and crown her their queen. But a large stuffed toy of King Kong begins breaking things up. Eventually, the big ape is defeated, and the (somewhat damaged) toys resume their parade.

Wild Bill (Roady - '60 - of VA)":
| Carol, For Wild Bill, Thanks for the comment on the video and I agree with your remarks. I still remember our days playing football at NNHS and how you used to scare the "H" out of me when 
Range or
Palmer would line me up across from
you and I would beg you not to hurt me, and also our days of playing
football in the vacant lot next to Larry Crum's ('60) house. I
also remember the day I beat you down at the
swimming pool in a foot race. Ha! Ha!Good to hear from you, Wild Bill, and thanks for the comments, George Thank you
so much, George - and Billy!
|
| I had never heard of this.
Enjoy!
What a simple, lovely,
unforgettable story this is.
Thank you, Haul Party!

Written by Leon Jessel (22 Jan 1871 – 04 Jan 1942), 1933
The toy shop
door is locked up tight
And ev'rything is quiet for the night.
When suddenly the clock strikes twelve
The fun's begun.
The dolls are in their best array,
There's going to be a wonderful parade.
" Hark to the drum, oh, here they come,"
Cries ev'ryone.
Hear them all cheering
Now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonets flashing
Music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking
Soldiers a-winking
At each pretty little maid
Here they come!
Here they come!
Here they come!
Here they come!
Wooden soldiers on parade.
