The animation quality of Looney Tunes' cartoons in 1935 wasn't bad at all. The only big drawback is that only Disney could make full color cartoons due to an exclusive contract with Technicolor. But using the cheaper two-color process, "Little Dutch Plate" still looks pretty good. Sadly, there's also a lot to dislike...a complete lack of comedy as well as an overreliance on singing, dancing and cutesy characters.
The story is about animated salt and pepper shakers that look like 19th century Dutch characters. A baddie arrives (sort of a Snidely Whiplash sort) and abducts the cutesy girl pepper shaker and so it's up to her boyfriend to rescue her, beat up the baddie vinegar container (huh??) and save the day.
It's all very typical for 1935. Many studios liked making cute cartoons with singing and dancing...though the directing team of Harmon-Ising really emphasized this at Looney Tunes...which is why you mostly see later Looney Tunes cartoons on TV....cartoons with more humor and no singing!
