‘March of the Wooden Soldiers’ to air on PIX11 this Thanksgiving 2025
NEW YORK (PIX11) — PIX11 has been showing the holiday classic “March of the Wooden Soldiers,” starring the comedy team of Laurel and Hardy, for more than 60 years.
The film is based on the 1903 Victor Herbert operetta Babes in Toyland. Produced by Hal Roach, best known for the “Our Gang” series, the movie was ranked among the most successful fantasy films of its era and garnered the best reviews Laurel and Hardy received.
