Wikipedia article
'Midnight in a Toy Shop' is a 1930 'Silly Symphonies' animated short film directed by Wilfred Jackson and produced by Walt Disney Productions.
Plot
A spider who takes shelter from a snowstorm in a toyshop finds the merchandise comes to life when the store is closed.
Reception
'Motion Picture Herald' (May 2, 1931): "A 'Silly Symphony' number which has the merit of lightness, and general amusement. A spider gets badly mixed up in a toy shop. All the little whatevers in the place sing in different keys as the spider spoils their play. The youngsters should enjoy it very much, and the oldsters will be entertained."
Home media
The short was released on December 19, 2006, on 'Walt Disney Treasures: More Silly Symphonies, Volume Two' in the "From the Vault" section, because of racial stereotypes: the Topsy doll yelling "Mammy!"
