I remember, when I was a kid, I watch old Laurel and Hardy movies ,on a black and white analogue television, those films were full of scratches, pops, fuzzy picture etc. Now today they are fully restored, as if they were filmed yesterday.
Today when one takes a picture or video with their digital camera, it actually takes three black and white photos/videos, but each one goes from different colored filters red ,green and blue, then they are combined to make one color picture in just one instant. Color film for example has three layers of black and white film layers and you've guess it, each one shot through a different filter red, green and blue place on top on each other. Believe it or not, before that the color movies shown in theaters had three movie projectors going at once, and again with the red, green and blue filters.
Even the Library Of Congress stores films, they divide the film in its separate red, green and blue filters, even recent movies are store that way ,in the Library of Congress, not dvds or other media. Films that are kept stored in a air conditioning environment. lasts longer.
Some time ago Stan Laurel's young daughter was wondering, why that Hardy is always picking on her dad, in the movies and their shorts, however in the youtube colorize video below the tables have been turned, as Stan Laurel bests Oliver Hardy:

Laurel and Hardy probably agreed to appear in the following movie for their young daughters.
A youtube video below is a movie titled "The March Of The Wooden Soldiers"* ,a family and kids musical, comedy fantasy. It is rated TV-Y7 meaning kids under 7 should not be watching it. When kids are below the age of 7 they usually cannot tell reality from fantasy, is maybe the reason why.
In the movie below they mention a Christmas in July, maybe the writers wanted to explain, why there is no snow on the ground,.
The March Of The Wooden Soldiers* movie is below, just click on the link, fully restored, as in any good movie they introduce the characters first, and yes, the wooden soldiers save the day :
