It's not painted dolls, but little toy dogs that fall in love and struggle to escape the toy dragon and caterpillars sent by the uxorious would-be abductor.
This is the third of five short films made by Wladyslaw Starewicz about Fetiche (in English, he's called 'Mascot'). In this one he courts Lulu and rescues her in a setting that suggests the play room of a pampered child, filled with all the toys that indulgent parents could buy. Starewicz uses them imaginatively, but with a child-like wonder that is so very charming.
I'm pleased to say that the copy I looked at was well transferred from a very good print: so much so I could spot the threads Starewicz used to hold them in place for each frame of his laborious stop-motio technique.
