This is an early color short in the Silly Symphonies series produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:
Much of this will be familiar, at least in terms of plot-boy and girl are courting, a rival interferes and our hero ultimately triumphs through the adversity to once again win the girl.
In this one, all but two of the characters are things made of china. Three monkeys, beer steins, cups and saucers and the like. There's the old man who owns the china shop and an animated wall clock. Everything else is china, including three figurines. The first two are a couple, who dance in one of the better sequences of the short. The third figurine is the bad gut, a green satyr who covets the female china figurine and grabs her.
A fight, of course, is inevitable, though our hero must fight more or less alone, with the satyr throwing whatever it can grab while the more active figures scatter. Finally, our hero beats the satyr with some rather timely (sorry) help from the clock and the couple is reunited. When the proprietor returns in the morning, he takes the carnage in stride and gives the short a funny, happy ending.
This short is available on the Disney Treasures More Silly Symphonies DVD set and both the set and this short are worth your time. Recommended.
