Produced by Walt Disney
In addition to the Alice comedies, Disney started producing cartoons featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. In watching a couple, I'd note that they are even more saccharine than the Alice shorts (particularly as Oswald thus far avoids violence and racism).
As for plot, these don't really have them. Trolley Troubles follows Oswald as he attempts to deliver a trolley car full of cats to a destination we never learn. In All Wet, he runs a beachside hot dog stand and becomes a lifeguard to impress a female bunny.
Both are fine in a smile-inducing way, but there's not a genuine chuckle to be had. If I had to pick, I'd say All Wet is slightly better just for the way it handles the hot dogs.
