Trivia

Despite the alternate title of March of the Wooden Soldiers, the titular action does not occur until the final four minutes of the film.

Hal Roach and Walt Disney were good friends, and it paid off for Roach in this picture. Roach asked to borrow the tune "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" from a Disney cartoon of the previous year, and Disney obliged.

This movie is usually associated with the Christmas season; however, the story takes place in July.

Goofs

As the wooden soldiers approach the Boogey men, Barnaby is holding Bo Peep in his arms, but when they fire the cannon shot that knocks him down, she is gone.

Share this

When Stannie rings Barnaby's doorbell at night, a light appears in Barnaby's upstairs window. The light source comes from the right, but Barnaby appears from the left, carrying a candle.

Share this

At the very end of the song "Never Mind Bo-Peep" (just after the crowd disperses, and only Tom-Tom and Bo-Peep remain), Tom-Tom is wearing a ring on his right hand (perhaps a wedding band?) It disappears when he sits down next to Bo-Peep, and isn't seen again for the rest of the movie.
