I agree with the other reviewer here that this primitive-looking 70-year-old cartoon is more than what first meets the eye. I'm not saying it's any award- winner but it was intriguing.
It would be easy to dismiss at first because of the unimpressive graphics and fairly poor quality print. It's probably very difficult to get a good print of this but I'm sure it would enhance the story.
That story is a simple one of Hobbit-like creatures who seem to worship the sun and they bottle it in the form of milk, which they deliver around town. The scenes in them are in reddish-orange and white. The "bad guys" are in the woods nearby and they sing "We're only happy when we're sad." Their scenes are all in blue-and-white. Like Dracula figures, if sunlight hits them, it's not good for them. (Actually, it is because it changes them into laughing, happy people.)
They try to sabotage of positive-thinking, cheery people. The second half of the story is the war between the two groups. One is flinging milk bottle and the other a poisonous gas.
This is a fantasy story, pure-and-simple, not a comedy. It's not going to provoke many laughs, if any, but it different enough to be an interesting seven-and-a-half minutes. It also has an excellent message. Some people may say, act or think "I don't want to be happy," but deep inside nobody wants that. I believe that was the message here in this battle between "positive" and "negative" people.
The cartoon was "brought to you" by the Borden Milk Company. Hmmm, that explains why milk was the "good" product.
