Dont you cry Bo Peep, we will find your sheep....

...whereEVER they may roam.



I know its a tad early to talk of Christmas memories, but lately Ive been thinking alot about March of the Wooden Soldiers. I think I can safely say this is my favorite holiday movie from my childhood. Even now when I watch it, I am instantly a child again sitting in front of the big console television, the only light in the room coming from the giant multi-colored christmas lights on the tree, a bowl of cereal in my lap (I ate cereal all day as a child.) Back in the day, when these movies where on it was an event you looked forward to all week when the TV Guide came out. There were no VCR's back then, so you had one shot to watch it, and if you missed it you had to wait another year, SO YOU DIDNT MISS IT.

What always amazed me too was that films like these were filmed in black and white and then colored by artists afterwards.
