Little Lambkins is a 1940 Color Classics cartoon.
Summary[]
A curly-headed moppet enjoys playing with animal friends in the suburbs. Father and mother move to a modern apartment in the city. The boy sabotages the place until they return to the country. All sorts of "modern gadgetry," such as an automatic washing machine, a telephone and an ice cube maker, go berserk.
Plot[]
A mother puts her baby boy in an outdoor playpen, but he's more mature than she realizes, and quickly breaks out, and with the help of a raccoon and a squirrel, they are soon raiding the watermelon patch. Mother returns: turns out it's moving day, and the family is moving to the city. Little Lambkins is not at all happy about leaving his animal friends; when they get to the new house, he sets about sabotaging the kitchen, turning the icebox into an oven, the hot water tap into an ice dispenser, and the stove and phone into water spouts. The adults flee, back to the country house, and Lambkins is reunited with his friends.
