Back in the late 1930s, Looney Tunes made a lot of their cartoons in black & white and many in color. From what I've seen, the black & white ones tended to be cartoons involving repeating characters, such as Porky Pig. "The Sneezing Weasel" is a one-off cartoon...with characters who only appeared in this film...and so it's not surprising it was made in lovely Technicolor.
When the story begins, a mother chicken and her chicks are out eating worms. One of her chicks gets briefly lost and is caught in a storm and gets a cold...and mother chicken goes to fetch a doctor. In the meantime, the evil weasel pretends to be the doc and the chicks let him in the house. Will the chicks become the weasel's dinner or will the chicks rise to the occasion and beat the snot out of the villain?
This is an enjoyable cartoon...mostly because the chicks are not passive victims and it is fun to see how they react to the threat. It could have been schmaltzy but really managed to entertain.
