“The China Shop,” a Silly Symphony cartoon was released on Jan. 13, 1934. As a shopkeeper closes his store for the night, his china pieces come alive. Two figures, a girl and a boy dance until a china satyr runs off with the girl. The boy figure manages to save her and destroys the satyr, but also damages most of the store’s pieces.
