In the mid 1930s, Dora Wilson considered adapt Babes in Toyland into an animated short for the Joey Kangaroo's Funny Adventures series, which would star Joey Kangaroo, before switching it into a feature film for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a sequel to its 1934 film starring Laurel and Hardy, being intended live-action-animated hybrid film, but it went on development hell after the commercial failure of Headin' South. In 1945, Dora Wilson re-pitched the Babes in Toyland feature project but switched as fully animated. It was originally intended as a short subject for The Christmas Tales (1947) before it was replaced with the A Christmas Carol segment and was instead turned into a feature film, and in 1947 where Dora Wilson left MGM to Warner Bros., along with the rights to the nearly completed film.
Toyland was released on TBD 1948, with positive critical reception and with approximate box office record with $193 million, making it Dora Wilson's first financial success, until it was beaten by Walt Disney's Cinderella in 1950. TBD
In 2001, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
