I like the early Scrappy and Oopy cartoons and although "Technocracket" is not among the earliest, it is enjoyable. Why do I like the early ones best? Because Scrappy is a real jerk...and fortunately he's still a jerk in this one!
When the story begins, Scrappy, despite his age, owns a farm and runs it. In this case, running it means sitting on his but and having Oopy and the animals do all the work. So how does he show them his appreciation? He replaces them all with robots. So, Oopy is angry and decides to sabotage the farm.
The animation is the best thing about this one. For 1933, Charles Mintz's work is fabulous. In addition, it is entertaining and lacks the cutesiness you often find in 1930s films....and I do NOT want cute in my cartoons!
