Broken Toys is a Silly Symphony that was released on December 14, 1935.

Summary

In the pile of overused and broken toys, a discarded sailor doll gives the other toys, including an Aunt Jemima and Stepin Fetchit doll, a plan on how they can be repaired and bring happiness to others during Christmas.

Trivia

• The broken toys lying on the city dump are Hollywood personalities in disguise (the jack-in-the-box caricatures Ned Sparks). Also, look for the W.C. Fields and ZaSu Pitts dolls.
