With all humans now vacated from the premises, the merchandise can come to life. Well, they could do that during the day too, but it&#8217;d be really awkward. (Either asking to be bought and being refused, or certain products not being aware of their purpose until its too late. I&#8217;ll leave it at that, use YOUR imagination for once)<\/p>\n<p>They toys start up some music. You&#8217;d think it would be hard to play instruments several sizes larger than you are, but they make it work. Although some of the instruments require more than one of them to play, and in the case of the trombone, they have to use a bike pump to blow the air into it. Hope you enjoy the title tune, they&#8217;re playing nothing but for the majority of the short.<\/p>\n<p>The toys aren&#8217;t the only ones having fun. Many of the clothes and mannequins also dance to the beat. (As best as they can, seeing as how none of them have complete bodies. By human standards. They aren&#8217;t missing any of their parts, despite the lack of limbs. I don&#8217;t know where I&#8217;m going with this tangent, but it&#8217;s nowhere relevant.) Even the coins in the cash registers join in. They have every right to, as in their own words: &#8220;They are the money.&#8221; One doll plays dress-up and shows her best Mae West impression.<\/p>\n<p>One mannequin actually has a full humanoid body, so he can dance with the best the human race has to offer. (Maybe even top them, as his feet can also function as wheels.) Standing in front of mirrors, he now is part of a quartet to sing the title song. And his talent isn&#8217;t limited to dance. He plays every piano in the store. But he gets a little too carried away and crashes into a shelf and getting caught in a avalanche of hat boxes.<\/p>\n<p>(And what if you come to this store but you aren&#8217;t &#8220;In the money?&#8221; Clearly, they mount your severed head as a reminder to those who try to be frugal. Why else are Laurel and Hardy&#8217;s heads there?)<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;\u266aWe&#8217;ve got a lot of what it takes to get along!\u266a&#8221; Animation by Isadore Freleng and Larry Martin; Music by Frank Marsales.
