The China Shop is a short animated Disney cartoon, released in 1934 in the Silly Symphonies series.^[1] The cartoon was released on January 13, 1934.^[2] The short was directed by Wilfred Jackson and is said to be a step ahead in the character staging for the age, because of the thoughtful opening scene in which the shopkeeper closes the store, contrasting with the broad kind of movements made by the time.^{[citation needed]}

Plot[]

It's closing time at "Ye Olde China Shop". The china pieces come to life to dance. A china demon kidnaps a female figurine, the male figurine tries to rescue her and a fight that involves the china demon throwing dishes at the male figurine (which also damages both an ostrich figurine which sticks its head into the base that it’s standing on and one of the monkey figurines) ensues. The demon is defeated as he is broken into pieces. The next morning when the owner arrives and sees the damage he sells the china as antiques.
