A timeless musical fantasy that has touched the hearts of millions throughout the world, Pinocchio remains the most perfect animated feature Walt Disney produced (Los Angeles Times). This legendary milestone won two Academy Awards, for Best Score and Best Song, When You Wish Upon A Star, the all-time classic that echoes the universal theme of love, family and friendship.
While the kindly toy maker Geppetto sleeps, a blue fairy brings his beloved marionette Pinocchio to life, beginning a fantastic odyssey that will test the wooden puppet's bravery, loyalty and honesty - virtues he must learn to become a real boy. Despite the warning of his wise friend, Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio befriends a variety of roguish characters, leading up to his climactic battle with Monstro the whale!
For over fifty years, this inspiring tale about the magical power of believing in your dreams has delighted generations. After a year of meticulous restoration, which included cleaning and removing scratches from the original negatives frame by frame, eliminating age-old distortions on the sound track, and revitalizing the color, the now-pristine film was reissued in 1992. Now, the fully restored Pinocchio can be enjoyed for the first time on video and forever in the heart of anyone who has ever wished upon a star.

This videotaped dance musical comes off as Nutcracker Suite meets Riverdance, with some costuming from Cats thrown in. Wordless, except for occasional narration and the lyrics of a few ballads, the story of a toy maker and his adult son betrayed by an evil apprentice is told through the dance scored by Michael Demus. The masterpiece of the title is the ultimate toy soldier--a living doll. But the apprentice, wearing demonic KISS-style makeup, steals the plans and learns how to control all the toys, forcing the toy maker and son out of their world by "a barrier of pride and hate." Eventually, the son becomes a baby doll to regain entry into the toy world with the hope of growing up again and bringing back his father. The dance is energetic and special-effects laden (fire, steam, slow motion), but not plot driven. Many of the events seem unconnected and characters mysteriously disappear, only to reappear when convenient. Violent imagery, including the hanging of a toy pirate and the crucifixion-like death of the toy maker's son, make this inappropriate for young or impressionable children. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Few works seem to encapsulate the turn-of-the-century mood as well as Victor Herbert's indestructible Babes in Toyland of 1903, a vaudeville-like musical stage play. The music is sweetly nostalgic and was famously incorporated in the 1934 movie with Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. This suite from the stage play is performed rather well, highlighting the more universal romantic elements Herbert invested in the music. Included are the famous "Toyland" and "March of the Toys." But also here is the "Prelude" that Herbert couldn't use in the original staging (it was too long for the era). The Red Mill (1906) is in much the same vein as Babes, with sparkling marches and lilting melodies, and it at times resembles the fin-de-siècle works of Albert Ketelbay. --Paul Cook

On a frozen winter's night in a remote northern fishing village, a young boy named Nicholas is orphaned when his father is drowned at sea. His mother braves the raging storm to get medical help for Kati, the younger sister, and leaves Nicholas to sit by her bedside. When the villagers arrive at the cottage in morning, he learns that Kati has died of a fever, and his mother is killed by a falling tree as she passes through the forest. The fishermen's wives gather to discuss how Nicholas will be cared for, and decide that if each family takes him in for one year, he will reach an age to care for himself. So it is that Nicholas moves in with his first family-for-a-year on Christmas Eve. He hides in a closet and cries himself to sleep. The next day, Christmas, is sorrowful for Nicholas but brightened by the company of the family's children, two girls and especially Otto, who becomes Nicholas' life-long friend. Nicholas has learned to carve by watching his father repair fishing gear and as his father's knife is his only inherited possession, he uses it to repair Otto's broken Christmas toy. When a year passes and it's time for Nicholas to move on to another family, he carves a doll and a chair for the girls and a toy sleigh with beautiful carved runners for Otto. The children are so pleased with the toys that Nicholas promises, "Next year, I'll know how to make better toys and I'll make you some next Christmas, too." That is how every home where Nicholas the wandering orphan stayed, he left gifts for each child and each child in every family came to expect a Christmas gift from Nicholas. The story proceeds to weave an incentive for hanging the first Christmas stocking; for designing the first red suit; for replacing his old horse with reindeer; for resorting to go down the chimney to leave gifts; for the occasion of the first Christmas tree; and other favorite legends and traditions surrounding Christmas. The ending is a comfortable one for children, but you will have to read the book to see how this happens!

Athlete, magician, marketing genius, millionaire- A. C. Gilbert was all of these, but he made his name by refusing to grow up. In 1913 Gilbert poured his boyish enthusiasm into a new toy. He called it the Erector Set, and the A. C. Gilbert Company sold 30 million of them. In this engaging book, award-winning journalist Bruce Watson tells the story of this amazing toy and its remarkable inventor-who, in 1918, became "The Man Who Saved Christmas" by convincing the U.S. War Resources Board not to ban wartime toy sales. Going beyond biography, Watson asks important questions about toys, boys, girls, science, and the way our perception of each has changed. The result is a quintessentially American tale of ingenuity, enthusiasm . . . and a marvelous invention that fit industrial America like a nut fits a bolt.
