Observe.

Very interesting.

Oh, I see.

Poof,

but not poof poof.

That's correct.

Let me poof

that thing.

Oh, no, sir, no, no,

you mustn't, sir.

One thing you must

and should remember:

I am the head Toymaker.

You're just my assistant.

Mr. Toymaker,

maybe you shouldn't.

That's a very dangerous...

Have you seen our new invention?

Don't aim it

at them, sir.

Oh, wait'll you see it

make toys.

It makes wonderful...

But it's very dangerous.

You'll have to stand back,

please. Stand back there.

Stand back a little.

Big desk...

Toy desk.

Now I'm gonna show you...

Oh, please, don't point that, sir.

Well, wait till you see

what I'm gonna do now.

Big bed...

Toy bed.

Oh!

This is simply

wonderful!

Now I can make thousands

of toys at one time.

Grumio,

you are a genius.

Tommy!

Mr. Toymaker...

Listen to me, Tommy.

Isn't this a wonderful way

to make toys?

Yes, sir, it is.

It's a wonderful

invention, sir, but...

Where are you going

to get the big things

to reduce

to small things?

Where are we gonna

get the big things

to reduce

to small things?

Good question, sir.

I think so.

Well, I think

we could always, uh...

I don't know.

You are a nutwit.

You and your

stupid inventions.

Go! Go to your room!

Instantly!

Silly invention.

I knew it wouldn't be

any good the moment I saw it.

Whoever called you

a genius?

Poof on this poof gun!

I think I can use

this poof gun.

You and your nutty ideas.

Waking me up

in the middle of the night

when all I wanted

was a little sleep.

My goodness.

This is only good

if my foot's asleep.

What happened here?

I'll show you

what happened.

Must be me.

That grumio's got me

so confused.

It's terrible.

I need sleep

so much.

My goodness. Grumio.

Who are you?!

Tom! Mary!

Who are you?!

Get out of here!

Come, little one.

Do you realize that gun

has reduced a human being?

Tom! Mary!

Get out of here!

What's going on here?!

Put me down!

Let me down,

you monster, you ogre!

There, there,

little fellow.

No harm

will befall you.

Fact is, I'm going

to need you.

I want to go to sleep!

What's going on here?

Let me down!

Put me down,

you monster, you ogre!

I just want

to go to sleep!

Ah, yes.

There, little fella.

There's a safe place to

keep you till I need you.

This gun will make

our job much easier.

Now for our

next victim... Tom.

Follow me, boys.

Please, please, don't

let him do that to Tom.

Stop!

I beg your pardon?

After talking things over,

we have decided

not to take part

in your diabolical plan.

Consider us

no longer in cahoots.

Furthermore, we are going

to expose you to everybody.

Won't you

reconsider?

Not a chance.

Gentlemen.

Now, there's no use

in talking about it.

We want nothing more

to do with...

Ohh, Mr. Barnaby!

Please, Mr. Barnaby!

You wouldn't shoot us,

would you?

Oh, Mr. Barnaby!

Please, sir!

Peekaboo.

Please, please,

go away, Mr. Barnaby!

Go away!

Please,

leave us alone!

Good evening.

Mr. Barnaby.

What are you doing here?

I've come for you,

my dear.

How dare you

come into my room?

Tom! Tom!

No need to scream.

Your little Tom

is quite close-by,

and I do mean

your very little Tom.

Oh, no.

No.

I will now at last

have your hand in marriage.

Never. Never!

Never!

May I remind you that just

a little overdose of this...

Stop, stop!

I'll do anything

you say.

Of course you will.

Come, my dear.

Now, if you folks

are ready.

Are you ready, dear?

Are the witnesses

ready?

And the best man?

Now, by the power vested in

you as the mayor of toyland,

proceed with the

marriage ceremony.

We are gathered here to

witness this young lady

making her first step

toward unhappiness.

She's gonna marry you.

What?

I was just trying to liven

things up with a little humor.

Never mind the humor.

Perform the ceremony.

We are gathered here

to unite this man

with this poor, unfortunate

girl n marriage.

Do you, Barnaby, take Mary

to be your wedded wife,

to keep her in sickness, in

adversity, in poverty, in tragedy,

in disaster...

What are you doing?

Well, I was just trying

to talk you out of it.

I'm warning you.

Do you, Barnaby, take Mary

to be your wedded wife?

I do.

Are you sure you don't

want to think this over?

I do not!

No, I can see

that you don't.

Now, do you, uh, uh...

Do you, Mary, take this man

to be your wedded husband?

I do.

That's funny, I take him

to be your grandfather.

Would you stop

this infernal stalling?

On with it!

On with it!

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Such a dreadful temper.

I'm glad

I'm not marrying you.

Oh, I am marrying you,

but I'm marrying you to her.

Now, where was I?

will you hurry up?

I want to get married.

All right, all right.

Now, uh,

let me see now.

Yes, there it is.

Will you please tell me

what the trouble is now?!

Oh, all right.

Just a minute.

It won't be a minute.

Uh, we are

gathered here...

Come on!

Drummers, forward!

Now, let me see...

Where was I?

You were

right here!

Oh, oh, heh, yes.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

What's that?

They're playing

the wrong music.

Well, get on with it

anyway.

On with it!

All right.

Forward march!

Eyes right!

Where are my glasses?

They are

on your head!

Oh, so they are.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

And let's have

no more of these delays.

Now take her hand.

Now comes

the good part.

If there is anyone...

Any man,

or any woman,

for that matter...

Who has good reason

why this marriage

should not take place,

let him... or her if, you know...

Whichever it is,

let them speak or...

Stop!

Barnaby, you scoundrel,

unhand that girl!

Look. Look who's run away

to become a toy soldier.

Take cover, Mary.

Buglers!

Fire!

Fire!

All right!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Give 'em a broadside!

Fire!

Fire!

Ohh!

Sound the charge!

Fire!

Infantry, attack!

Give 'im a broadside!

Fire!

Oh, my toys!

My toys!

Now for the toy general.

Watch out, Tom!

Fire!

Oh!

Bombs away!

That's enough

of this horseplay.

Tom, look out!

This is better.

Mr. Barnaby!

Stop him!

Don't let him get away!

Barnaby!

Come on, Barnaby.

Fight like a man.

Look out, Tom!

Tom!

I've got it!

Oh, I've got it!

Mr. Toymaker!

Here I am.

Grumio, I'm down here!

Well, sir, it appears

that you need a shot

of my new invention,

my restoring formula.

Grumio.

Yes, sir?

You are a genius.

Oh, thank you, sir.

Hey, Grumio!

How about us?

Take care

of my friends.

My friend and I

would like to thank you.

Grumio, please, help Tom.

Anything you say, Mary.

Where is he?

Here I am.

You can't seem to get it through

your thick skull that I...

Am the head toymaker, and

you are just my assistant.

Now you got it.

Heh heh.

Step aside.

Allow me.

Darling,

you were so brave.

I'm so proud of you.

What's going on?

What's

all the noise?

Oh, you've been

playing with the toys.

That's right, children.

We've been playing

with the toys.

That's right.

We were just playing
