The Alice series were early Walt Disney live action / animation hybrids.
Alice (Anne Shirley) and Julius the cat are the owners of an egg factory. Unfortunately, the hens are a bit lazy so Julius has to keep them hard at it. Then a new hen arrives, Little Red Henski from Moscow who is going to try and bring communism to the egg plant!
An unexpectedly political little film, we were only a few years into the Russian Revolution. Whether kids would get it though is a good question.
