First Color Cartoon from Columbia

This "Scrappy" cartoon from the Mintz factory is the first they produced in color. It's two-color Technicolor, since Disney had a monopoly on the three-color variety. It looks a little off, since the design was not changed. The line drawing of Scrappy with splashes of color looks weird -- but then he always did. Certainly the background work benefits from from the color and emphasizes the size of a couple of shots.

As for the story, Scrappy doesn't want to get up to go to school and dreams of going to a banquet with tiny avatars of holidays. Like many of the Scrappies, it's an exercise in childhood weirdness and enjoyable. My interest in how they handled the color kept it from being too long.
