I always wanted to figure out a way to play that weird game with the sticks and that little thing that looked like a falafel lol

It was definitely one of my favorites as a kid, but you can't deny that it's terrifying lol

I’ve never found it terrifying. Endearing actually. I still watch it occasionally.

And the evil dude! That fucking warlock looking mf-er lol

I rewatched it this Christmas when I was home sick with the flu. What a wild fever dream. Barnaby pretending to turn the 3 little pigs into sausage. A poor monkey sewed into an imitation Mickey Mouse costume. The hairy bogeymen lifting babies out of their cribs. And it was supposed to be a children's movie!

I think it's (the original) available on Tubi, I'm gonna watch it this evening and maybe eat a ton of popcorn and cake so that I make it historically accurate lol

You-Asked-Me@reddit

I watched the 1986 version with Drew Barrymore and Keanu.

[-]

Knight_thrasher@reddit

Yup this is the one I remember. As an adult it’s so bad but I love its cheesyness

[-]

DirtyBirdDawg@reddit

That's the version that I remember (I think), if it was one that was made for TV. I think it aired on NBC one year.

[-]

GeetarEnthusiast85@reddit

I watched both. The Laurel and Hardy version on Thanksgiving. The Drew/Keanu version around Christmas time.

[-]

Holmes221bBSt@reddit

I watched the Drew Barrymore & Keanu Reeves one

[-]

I hated that movie!

[-]

PatchworkGirl82@reddit

I remember it airing on my local public access every Christmas! I love the sheer weirdness of it, especially the Mickey Mouse monkey.

[-]

Free_Manufacturer521@reddit (OP)

Omg the Micky Mouse monkey 😭

Never heard of it until I saw the adult store in Seattle called Toys in Babeland and someone explained to me how it’s a play on Babes in Toyland.

[-]

fyrefly_faerie@reddit

We watch this every holiday. We love Laurel and Hardy movies

[-]

AbbreviationsGlad833@reddit

I did! It was always my favorite. But I was always disappointed the toy soildiers never fired their rifles at the hairy cave monster guys. I think one cannon was fired.

GeetarEnthusiast85@reddit

Ah, The Hayes Code. Kept anything too "salacious" from happening.

[-]

Free_Manufacturer521@reddit (OP)

I thought some of them got stabbed with the bayonets!

[-]

GeetarEnthusiast85@reddit

I still watch this every Thanksgiving morning. I own it on DVD. Thanksgiving wouldn't feel right without it. I never found it scary. It's just charming with a few parts that genuinely make me chuckle.

[-]

Senior-Design-7220@reddit

The best

Still watch every* Thanksgiving in NYC, where it's paired with the L&H "Live Ghost" short after.

*Except for those few random years when the network decided to ruin tradition with football or whatever.
