알콜 문제로 영화계를 오랜 기간 떠났던 제작자 멜 펀. 그는 야심차게 영화계로의 복귀를 꿈꾸고, 그 첫 프로젝트로 무성영화를 만들 계획을 세운다. 제작자는 이 시대착오적인 꿈을 필사적으로 반대하지만 멜은 굴하지 않고 더 큰 계획을 실행에 옮긴다. 할리우드 최고의 배우를 캐스팅하려는 것이다. 이제 멜과 동료들은 LA에 살고 있는 스타들을 찾아다니며 못 말리는 소동을 벌인다. 어쩌면 멜 브룩스의 가장 야심찬 영화일지도 모를 는 말 그대로 무성 영화의 형식을 과감하게 밀어 붙인다. 인물들의 목소리가 아니라 자막으로 모든 대사를 전달하는 것이다. 무성 영화의 형식, 특히 자막과 화면의 불일치를 이용해 웃음을 만들어내는 솜씨는 그 자체로 재미있을 뿐 아니라 이미지와 사운드에 대한 날카로운 영화적 논평으로 읽히기도 한다. 버트 레이놀즈, 제임스 칸, 폴 뉴먼 등 스타들의 과감하게 망가지는 연기도 재미를 더한다.

Released as part of a series of WB shorts under the collective title of "Technicolor Specials" (WB production number 2003) this short most likely holds the WB house record for a 20-minute film containing footage from the most different titles in their inventory. It's theme of a singing guided tour of the lot (and some of the footage) is from 1944's "Musical Movieland", the former title holder, and it contains clips from 1939's "Quiet, Please" and "Royal Rodeo"; "Sunday Roundup" from 1936 and 1940's "The Singing Dude." Pieces from "Out Where the Stars Begin" and "Swingtime in the Movies" may also be used, but it's hard to tell since they all tend to run together and show up in a lot of places during the 1940's Warner shorts. Its title of "Movieland Magic" is most apt considering the sleight-of-hand performed by the WB Shorts and Sales departments in once again selling the same film clips for the 3rd, 4th or more times.
