"Babes in Toyland"

That's TV in their "Christmas" TV they are showing at the moment (WTF!) showed Laurel & Hardy's "Babes in Toyland", (or "March of the Wooden Soldiers") which I have to confess, I had never seen before, and it was also colourised, which is something I frown on, but have to say a good job was done - I wonder if I would have felt the same way if I had seen it in B&W first.................

Quite good, if you fast forward the musical numbers, and effects almost match "Wizard of Oz", though what was clearly a monkey in a Mickey Mouse suit was a bit weird

Colourised? What sort of word is that?

At least he didn't spell it with a 'z'.
