Product Description
[VHS] Babes In Toyland. Once a bright and cheerful community, Toyland is in great danger from the terible Barnaby (Mulligan) and his scary creatures who live in the forest of the night. They are trying to turn Toyland into a world without toys. The only person who can save Toyland is Lisa (Barrymore), a little girl from Cincinnati who lands in Toyland on Christmas Eve. But since Lisa, a very grown-up little girl, doesnt believe in toys, she needs special help from the wise but impish Toymaster (Morita), the dashing and gallant Jack Nimble (Reeves) and the mother-of-many-children Mrs Hubard (Brennan). Together they muster an army of toy soldiers and teddy bears to drive the villianious Barnaby and his nightmare creatures out of Toyland.

 like watching a car crash December 27, 2008
This is perhaps the worst made for tv christmas special ever broadcast. The acting in the claymation of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer merits an Oscar in comparison. How Keneau Reeves and Drew Barrymore put this behind themselves is the real question. Watch it only in 5 minute segments or your brain may explode.
 Why can't I find it on DVD December 21, 2008

I have loved this movie for so many years and have it on VHS, but sadly don't have a VHS player anymore. Can anyone tell me where to find this movie on DVD? I would love to have my son watch it and enjoy this version as much as I do.

After stumbling over this movie on ABC Family, I absolutely had to have it. After checking Amazon for months, this is the first time I have been able to find it! I am a huge fan of Keanu Reeves, so this movie was an absolute delight (even to someone born in 1987).
The premise of the story begins after Lisa Piper (Drew Barrymore), a child who appears to have already "grown up," is thrown out of a car. Her world quickly becomes Toyland which is a combination of "The Wizard of Oz," and a "Mother Goose" world. Mary Contrary (Jill Schoelen) and Jack Nimble (Keanu Reeves) are in love with each other; however, the antagonist of the story, Barnaby Barnacle (Richard Mulligan), is forcing Mary to wed him. Naturally, Mary and Jack are unwilling to succumb to living without each other and as a result, Lisa becomes involved. Soon enough, a battle over Toyland begins with the evil Barnaby Barnacle leading the way. Ultimately, Lisa and her new friends attempt to enlist the help of the Toymaster (Pat Morita) who can only help if Lisa believes in toys. Thus, the story brings on a reminiscent moment of childhood that so many crave. Even as the battle for Toyland develops, one begins to wonder if Lisa will ever make it back home to her family and friends.
While this movie is perfect for any child to watch during Christmas, adults can appreciate the effortlessly created storyline that engulfs everyone. I most definitely recommend this to Keanu Reeves, or Drew Barrymore, fans! I saw this movie at an early age and to see it available is stupendous! The magnificent child-like creations in this story are endearing and promise to bring about holiday spirit. This movie is definitely one to reminisce over for years to come and is easily a classic among so many holiday movies!

I loved this film as a child, treasuring the "taped from the TV" version well into my twenties. When I finally purchased the video, I was disappointed to realize that the VHS is edited, eliminating some transitional dialogue and two songs ("jail break" and the one where Jack and Mary are singing in jail). It is still a charming story that will be passed along for generations to come, but I will be sure to hold on to the "tv version" that has every aspect of the film. It would be terrific if ORION released a DVD version of this film with all of the uncut scenes in it!
