Toy Town Hall is a 1936 American animated comedy short film directed by Isadore Freleng. The short was released on September 19, 1936. It is the 64th film in the Merrie Melodies series and the first to be composed by Carl W. Stalling.

Plot A young boy listens to the Ben Bernie Orchestra on the radio, only to be forced to go to sleep by his mother. While he sleeps, his toys come to life and impersonate radio personalities, with commentary provided by a caricature of Fred Allen, a parody of his Town Hall Tonight program. Toys then perform numerous musical numbers, including Eddie Cantor singing "Merrily We Roll Along", as well as a toy plush of Peter Rabbit who sings "My Green Fedora". The boy begrudgingly wakes up as the film ends.
