Babes In Toyland is an operetta by Victor Herbert where a family of nursery rhyme children journey to Toyland to help out their sister Contrary Mary. Along the way, they must defeat the evil Barnaby, a rich old man who wants to kill his niece and nephew for their money and the Toymaker, who creates murderous toys. Using saturated colors in Story Book Land and muted colors & asymmetric lines for the mechanical Toyland, Welland created two distinct worlds.
