still,

you can't get out

this is the forest

of no return

this is the forest

of no return

you have stumbled in

you have fumbled in

now you can't get out

help! Help!

Help! Help!

Tom, quick,

this way!

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Mary!

Mary!

Thank goodness

you're safe!

We were so worried

about you.

And look who's here.

Tom!

Hello, Willie.

Tom, you're back!

Tom! Tom, you're back!

Tom, you didn't drown!

No, no, I'm fine,

just fine.

But how are you?

Are you all right?

Children:

Yes, we're all right.

But we didn't

find the sheep.

We'll find the sheep

later.

But right now we're

going to take you home.

No, Mary, I think it's too dark

to travel any more tonight.

I think we should settle down

right here for the evening,

till morning, anyway,

then we'll look for the sheep.

Oh, we can't leave anyway.

We're captured.

You're what?

We're captured.

Yeah.

The trees captured us.

The trees captured you?

What trees?

All these trees.

Oh, they're all right.

They're just a little tired.

Oh, yes.

Yes, of course.

The trees

captured you.

All right. Let's look

for a nice spot to settle down

until morning.

How 'bout here?

Come on,

settle down.

We saw trees

that walk

try to get

some sleep

they could even talk

not another peep

and they sang a song

while they

danced along

children, quiet, please

let's

forget the trees

we're not

telling lies

I will take your word

they had evil eyes

darlings,

that's absurd

and they raised

a fuss

and they threatened us

children, we suggest

that you get some rest

go to sleep

slumber deep

drift away

on fleecy clouds

above

you

close your eyes

sail the skies

nestle gently

near the ones

who love you

go

to sleep

go

to sleep

all right, boys.

Let's go.

We'll sneak up...

Shh!

Trees:
Wake up, wake up,

wake up, wake up!

Wake up, everyone!

Come on, wake up!

Wake up!

Come on, wake up!

Wait a minute!

What's going on?

See? We told you

about these trees.

What's the meaning of this?

Explain yourselves!

Well, he wants

an explanation!

The explanation is...

That you are out of bounds.

These are

restricted grounds.

You're not supposed

to be here!

Didn't you read

the signs?

But... but what are you

going to do with us?

What will be done with you

the toy maker will decide.

The toy maker?

Naturally!

You are on toyland

property!

Children:

Toyland?

Toyland!

Toyland!

Settle down!

Quiet! Quiet!

'Twill do no good

to fight

we warned you

not to fuss

we firmly

and emphatically

demand you come with us

yes, we demand

you come with us

you'll have to take us in

trees:
straight in

to toyland,

must we go?

quite so

are you inclined

to change your mind?

unanimously, no!

fall in. Line up.

Forward march!

Toyland, toyland

beautiful girl

and boy land

while you dwell

within it

you are

ever happy there

childhood's toyland

wonderful world

of joyland

wouldn't it be fine

if we

could stay there

for evermore?

toyland, toyland

we're on our way

to toyland

don't know when

we'll get there

but we know there's fun

in store

toyland, toyland

wonderful girl

and boy land

once you leave

its borders

you can never return

again

this is as far

as we go

here's where

your troubles begin

go down to the Ridge

and over the bridge

and all of you

turn yourselves in

not yet, boys.

The odds will be better

when they're sleeping.

We will wait till nightfall.

Come... let us lurk.

Come on, come on!

Hurry up!

Mr. toy maker,

Mr. toy maker, open the door!

Open the door!

Please!

Kids, kids.

They must be

closed.

Yes, look.

"Closed

for alterations."

What's over here?

Come on!

Gee, I wonder what's inside.

Hmm. Looks like

toyland has been deserted.

Mr. toy maker.

It came from

over there.

Oh, Mr. toy maker,

it's all ready, sir.

For goodness sake, grumio,

you know I'm busy!

But there's

something I...

Listen, I'm working

on a new invention.

This is fantastic.

What... what is it?

What is it?

I'll tell you

what it is.

What is the first thing a boy

does when he gets a new toy?

Well, I...

I'll tell ya.

He takes it apart

to see how it works.

But with my invention,

he doesn't have to do that.

The toy is already broken.

I made that up myself, you know,

in the other room there.

Mr. toy maker...

Oh, was there something you wanted?

Yes, there's something

I want to show you, sir.

Please, please come

with me. Please.

This is my new invention.

This is your invention?

Yes, sir.

How do you like it,

sir?

Oh, fine, fine.

It's awful nice.

Very nice. You do

very good work, grumio.

Very good.

Beautiful.

Oh, just a minute, sir.

Don't you want to see

how it works?

How what works?

My invention!

This does something?

Oh, yes, sir.

It certainly does!

It makes toys.

It does?

This is my new

toy making machine.

You'll never ever need

these hand tools again, sir.

This is the latest

concept in automation!

Here, let me explain.

Let's say

we wanna make a doll.

Let's.

Now, first we have to

diagram the problem

for the machine on the

occiligraph, you understand?

Just make a doll.

That's all.

Make a doll.

Yes, sir.

Now we select

the ingredients.

Uh... blue eyes, blonde

hair, smiling lips.

Oh, and suppose you want

to make it a girl doll...

Um... sugar... and spice...

Everything nice.

One doll, demonstration

purposes at slow speed.

And now,

automation takes over!

Is that so?

Look!

Oh, that's wonderful!

This is astonishing!

Simply astonishing!

A real doll!

Grumio,

this is amazing!

Oh... thank you, sir.

Can this machine

make a toy boat, too?

Toy boat

coming up, sir.

Now I'll make

a boat.

Uh... hull, decks, smoke

stacks, lifeboats...

And we'll need, uh...

There's a mast and a poop deck...

Stop mumbling.

Make the boat.

Make the boat.

We'll run this one

at, uh... medium speed,

and once more,

automation reigns supreme!

This is overwhelming!

A doll! A boat!

Oh, my machine

can make anything, sir!

Grumio...

You are a genius.

Thank you, sir.

And now, to work.

And now, as we have

a deadline to meet,

I will start the machine

at full production.

Uh, just a moment,

grumio.

You'll start

the machine?

Oh, no, you won't.

I'm the head

toy maker here.

I'll start the machine

in full production.

You're just

my assistant.

Will you please

step aside?

If I need any help,

I'll call you.

Here. Hold these,

please.

If I want you,

I'll call you, grumio,

or I'll call you assistant.

It depends entirely

on the mood I'm in.

Now, let me see.

We need some wagons,

we need marbles,

we need dolls.

We could use

some roller skates.

Children love

roller skates, you know.

Some parcheesi sets...

I think you're overloading it, sir.

I think about 4 million each

to start with.

4 million?!

And I think we'll start

at super speed!

Pick that up,

assistant.

Hoo hoo hoo!

Oh, that's just
