"The Picnic Panic" is a cartoon from Van Beuren Studios--a cartoon producer for less than a decade during the late 1920s and into the 30s. While their cartoons were of decent quality compared to most companies of the time, the quality of their work never came close to rivaling Disney. Part of this was due to the deficiencies of the art and writing of the cartoons but part wasn't really Van Beuren's fault. Disney had an exclusive contract with Technicolor for full-color film stock for several years. Tinier studios like Van Beuren either had to make black & white cartoons of use the less advanced (and uglier) two- color film-- such as with the Cinecolor you see in this particular short. Because it was not true color, the film is made up mostly of oranges and blues and comes off as a bit garish.
This one consists of anthropomorphic tea pots, dishes and the like going out on a picnic. While this sounds a lot like a scene from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast", this is instead just an awful Van Beuren cartoon--bereft of entertainment and offering not a single laugh. If seeing plates and tea pots cavorting about is your thing, then by all means give this one a try. But it's practically plot less and annoying from start to finish--and I can see why the studio folded a year after this one was released!
