remarkable!

Ho ho ho, hoo hoo! My!

Oh, my!

What's

this thing here?

No, Mr. toy maker, please, get

out of there, sir, please!

Really remarkable.

You're making it

very difficult, sir.

Please don't touch

anything else!

Oh! This is

wonderful!

Hoo hoo hoo! Hoo hoo...

Stop that, grumio!

It's real!

Oh! Hoo hoo hoo!

Oh, grumio!

This one's broken!

Get a little glue.

Hurry up!

Oh...

There's something

wrong, grumio!

Grumio!

Do something fast!

There's something

wrong here, grumio.

Look!

I think

something's wrong!

Stop that thing!

Grumio!

Grumio, come here!

Grumio, look out!

Look out, grumio!

Look ooooout!

You know something?

I think we should

go to lunch.

This is catastrophic!

My goodness!

I'm ruined!

Absolutely ruined!

Grumio.

Grumio!

Grumio!

Grumio!

Oh, there you are.

You are alone responsible for everything...

Just you

and you alone!

Did you say

that your invention

was to make toys

or to make noise?

Go! Get outta here!

Go on!

Go to your room

and invent something

to destroy yourself!

This is horrible!

I'll never make

that Christmas deadline now.

My, my, this is...

This is terrible!

Just awful.

I, uh, I beg

your pardon, sir.

Why, who are you?

Well, my name's Tom Piper, and...

What are you doing here?

We came to see you.

Who are you?

She's my sister.

Well, you shouldn't

be here!

Don't you know

that it isn't right

for children to see these

toys until Christmas day?

These... we... well, we...

We had a lot of toys around here.

But you can see...

Well...

This is the only toy in the whole

factory that isn't broken.

We're really very sorry,

Mr. toy maker.

Yeah, thank you.

But what are you

doing here?

We're arrested!

The trees said for us

to report to you.

Well, naturally, you

have to report to me.

I'm not only the head toy maker,

I'm also the mayor of toyland

and the chief of police.

We noticed you have

quite a problem, sir.

Yes. Quite

a problem. Yes.

Well, is there anything

we can do to help?

Half-past october.

The deadline near.

The children will have

no merry Christmas.

Mr. toy maker, we're strong,

and we're willing to work.

I think we'd make

a fine assembly line.

And we'd work day and night,

wouldn't we, children?

Yes!

Yes, sure!

Please, please

let us help you.

You wanna work?

Nobody wants to work

these days.

It's not automation, sir, but

we've got our hands to use.

Well...

Maybe I could try it. Ha.

What have I got

to lose?

All right, folks.

I'll put you to work.

I've been such a dope.

As long as there are people,

we should never give up hope!

Yay!

Yay!

First we have to clean up

that assembly room.

Come on. We haven't

got a moment to lose.

Painting eyes

on funny faces

putting on a smile

or frown

come now, there's

lots of orders coming in

bolting wheels

on axle braces

so they never

will break down

children

we need 600 more

of these, you know

cutting, sewing,

pressing dresses

every little doll

gets one

putting curls

in all their tresses

isn't it a lot of fun?

children, this was

a magnificent day's work.

Magnificent.

Let's all wash up,

and we'll have supper.

Then early to bed,

kids, so we'll be

nice and fresh

in the morning.

My goodness! You're

all so industrious!

You know something?

I think we're gonna make

the deadline after all...

Thanks to you children.

Good night.

Good night,

Mr. toy maker!

Come on, kids.

Wash up now.

Aw!

I'm not tired!

Up, up, up.

Night is about to fall.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Come.

Let us pussyfoot.

Shh!

Come on, now.

Into bed.

I like making toys.

You can make them,

but you mustn't keep them.

Aw...

Good night.

Good night, children.

Good night, Mary.

Go to sleep.

Shh...

Smiling eyes,

golden hair

made with such

loving care

she's just a toy

what a thrill

it will be

when she's found

'neath the tree

by some little girl

Christmas morning

and her true life

will start

when she's taken

to heart

with childhood joy

and you'll never

believe

all the love

she'll receive

though just...

a toy

I'd love to see

'neath my

Christmas tree

one special doll

meant for me

smiling eyes,

silken hair

you'll need such

loving care

you're just

a toy

you were planned

and designed

with one person

in mind

to hold you

and keep you

forever

and you'll live

for the love

and the happiness of

this lonely boy

and each night

he will say

in a whimsical way

you're just

a toy

quickly,

now's our chance.

I got it! I got it! I got it!

Mr. Toymaker!

Where's Mr. Toymaker?!

He's in his room asleep.

I've got to show him

something.

I've got to show him

my new invention!

Mr. Toymaker, Mr.

Toymaker, please, wake up, sir.

Don't shoot me!

Don't shoot me!

Just a minute, sir.

Please, wake up.

This is

my new invention.

What?

My new invention.

This is another one

of your inventions?

Yes.

Shoot me.

Oh, please, sir.

Wait a minute.

This is my... this is

a scientific triumph.

It's a biochemical

breakthrough.

Sir, please, my new

formula for toy-making

is even better

than automation!

It's better?

Yes.

Good night.

Oh, please, sir,

please, please.

Let me demonstrate this.

This really works.

Get back, get back.

Please, get back.

This is very,

very dangerous.

Watch closely, sir.

Big chair...

Toy chair.

Poof. Just like that?

Just like that.

A big table...

Toy table.

This is provocative!

Give me that thing.

Oh, careful, sir. This is

a very dangerous compound.

2 molecular discharges will

result in complete obliteration.
