When the rest of the herd is stolen by cattle rustlers, it's up to a bereft calf to do something about the situation in this typically overly sentimental Technicolor Terrytoon.
Because he did not have access to a sizable music library as did the other cartoon musical directors (Looney Tunes was set up specifically to piggyback on Warner Brothers' musical library), Philip Scheib either had to write his own things or base them on public domain works. Here, he uses "Get Along, Little Dogie"... as did the writers, who seem to have taken the title as the starting point of the story.
Although the technical issues of turning out a sound cartoon are all handled well by this point -- the back ground artists had solved the issues of Technicolor by adopting a more impressionistic watercolor background than their compeers at the other studios -- Paul Terry's studio offered simple sentimental stuff for well-behaved children -- nothing at all to my taste, nor was it ever. Still, they have done a fine job of making a believable calf and adding in some decent gags -- look for the one involving the reflection in the water.
