I found this colorized version of "Pop Goes the Easel" on YouTube. While colorizing stuff was very popular back in the 90s, this one was colorized more recently and you can tell as the process is better than usual...though the skin tones could have been better and more realistic. Unfortunately, the short itself if pretty limp...and it seems odd that they'd colorize this one and not one of the better shorts by this trio.
When the story begins, the boys are trying to do a good deed but are accused of being thieves. A cop chases them through the city and they end up taking refuge in an art school. There they pretend to be art students and all sorts of unfunny mayhem ensues. Ultimately, there is a clay fight that ends the picture.
The problem with this one is that I never once found myself laughing. It seems that the team could have used better writers than they got in this one.
