Antique Shop Clock

The Antique Shop Clock is a character featured in the 1934 Silly Symphony short The China Shop.
==Background==
===Personality===
The Clock is shown to have a joyful personality, often telling the antiques inside the China Shop to have fun inside the shop with no humans around. In spite of this, he is shown to double check to know if there are humans present in the shop before telling the other antiques to have fun. He is also shown to have a dislike for any harm that occurs within the shop, such as the Satyr attempting to seduce the Girl Figure, only for the Clock to notice the Satyr's true actions, giving him payback, using his own pendulum as a weapon.
==Appearances==
===The China Shop===
The Clock is first seen observing the shopkeeper closing his store, desperate to remind the other products inside the shop that the coast is clear. As he leaves, he suddenly sounds the alarm, as the objects inside the shop have their own adventures in a world where humans are absent. He later appears when the Boy Figure tosses the Satyr onto the area where the Clock was standing, just as he reacts in shock. As the Boy Figure rescues the Girl Figure, the Clock realizes the Satyr's true actions in his attempt to seduce the Girl Figure, just as he knocks off the skull cup which the Satyr is holding in revenge. He later smashes the Satyr into pieces, destroying him for good as well as sweeping his remains. He later continues ticking just before sunrise. The next day, the Clock notices the shopkeeper entering his store, which the owner notices the mess inside, leading him to increase the prices of the antiques inside the store.
===Other appearances===
Archived footage from The China Shop showing the Clock coming to life was used during the "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" sequence in the Disney's Sing-Along Songs volume Very Merry Christmas Songs.
==Trivia==
*The only time the Clock is seen in a non-anthropomorphic form was during the beginning of the short. The rest of his appearances show him with an anthropomorphic face throughout the rest of the short.
