"Little Lambkin" is a Color Classic from the Fleischer Brother's studio. While it technically is in color, it appears to be using a two-color process...resulting in tones mostly reddish and blue-greenish instead of a full spectrum.
When the story begins, young 'Lambkin' is out playing with his wildlife friends in the woods. However, his parents have bought a push-button futuristic house in the city and the kid responds by screaming and pitching tantrums. Truly the child is an annoying brat. But he's precocious as well and almost instantly figures out how to re-wire the house to make everything break....and the annoying devil-child is rewarded for his misdeeds by the end of the story.
The push-button house of the future was not an uncommon theme of the 1940s and 50s...probably because such homes were featured at various World's Fairs...especially the 1939-40 one in New York. But what isn't so common is how hateful Lambkin is....and I could easily see folks hating the cartoon because he's such a nasty little brat. I think having him re-wiring the house was clever...but the screaming was too annoying. Additionally, the animation quality of this one, oddly, is below the usual standards for the studio at the time...and I'm not sure why. Overall, watchable but clearly this is one annoying little brat. If this had been toned down, it easily could have earned a 6 or 7.
