Cautionary fantasy about the dangers of fire

This is a bit modern in style for my taste, but it's a very watchable piece. Little Dorothy is lucky to have an extremely intelligent parrot at hand, since her parents are nowhere in evidence. Fire is fun! The parrot discourages the child's first foray into pyromania, but is literally caught napping when she lights a lamp in the attic. The flame becomes a magical entity that enchants and entertains her, then turns nasty. I was ready for this part to turn out as a dream sequence, but no, it's all real-- at least in the context of the cartoon's internal reality, which doesn't seem to include electricity in the attic.
