Parade of the Wooden Soldiers is a 1933 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop. It is now public domain.

The instrumental title theme (also known as "Parade of the Tin Soldiers") was composed by Leon Jessel, and is popular as Christmas music.

[edit] Synopsis

A large factory complex struggles to produce a single package, which is rushed to a toy store. The box opens, and out steps a Betty Boop doll. The other toys come to life, parade around to the music of March of the Toys and crown her their queen. But there's a big stuffed toy of King Kong who begins breaking things up. Eventually, the big ape is defeated, and the (somewhat damaged) toys resume their parade.
