    The world's only musical western with an all dwarf cast was The Terror of Tinytown produced in 1938.

    Using a conventional Western story with an all dwarf cast, the filmmakers were able to showcase gags such as cowboys entering the local saloon by walking under the swinging doors, climbing into cupboards to retrieve items, and dwarf cowboys galloping around on Shetland ponies while roping calves.

    They might have been rootin' and tootin' but they weren't sitting tall in the saddle.
