In 1929 the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit series (originally created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1927) was taken over by Walter Lantz and Universal Studios. I know that Disney purists would never deign to watch any of these post-Disney Oswald productions, but some of these cartoons are actually pretty cute. "The Plumber" is actually a very well animated story about Oswald's many failed attempts to control a water leak in his house as well as his extremely disobedient son (which actually makes one question why he is the "lucky" rabbit). This is a talking picture, but like many early talkie cartoons, it has very little dialogue and relies mostly on sight-gags; There is however a cute little song at the beginning, "Ain't Gonna Rain No More." I enjoyed the amount of absurd actions and anthropomorphized objects in the Oswald household, which kept the story going in spire of its lack of plot. It's a little disconcerting to see such Disney-esquire animation and gags in a non-Disney film, but the cartoon really is very well made and was an absolute pleasure to watch.
