You won't be disappointed!

Very Cool!!!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

. . . of waking up helpless, strapped down on a conveyor belt, as automation runs amok, taking all kinds of perverse liberties with their body, according to the most recent poll. We probably have Warner Bros. largely to thank for this sorry state of affairs, primarily because of our exposure to Daffy Duck becoming a pig in Porky's blanket at the climax of BABY BOTTLENECK. The diaper welding Daffy's top to Porky's butt obviously is the archetypal meme that served as a possibly Satanic springboard to BABY BOTTLENECK. Though Charlie Chaplin had hinted at what could happen when an Assembly Line Goes Wrong in his live-action feature film, MODERN TIMES, even America's original Chuckie Doll would not risk going as far into the coming Horrors of Genetic Modification, Inter-Species Transplants, and Bad Science in general as Warner allowed its animators to forge ahead with BABY BOTTLENECK. Clearly this animated short had an immediate effect on America's Film Censors, as they were shaking too hard in their jackboots to write out the redo that BABY BOTTLENECK surely merits.

Directed by that "Man from Wackyland" Bob Clampett, "Baby Bottleneck" is a classic Porky Pig/Daffy Duck cartoon featuring some wild animation! Porky and Daffy work as "traffic managers" at an assembly line for a baby delivery service. One can only imagine all the fun and trouble they could get into under such circumstances.My favorite scenes in "Baby Bottleneck" include: Daffy answering telephone calls; an enthusiastic dog demonstrating his invention to Porky; Porky and Daffy accidentally winding up on the conveyor belt (to the ubiquitous accompaniment of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse"); and the hilarious opening sight gags of deliveries being made (to the accompaniment of "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby"), including a few mix-ups."Baby Bottleneck" is a cartoon that truly deserves recognition, considering the wild and wacky atmosphere at Warner Bros. where it was made. You might say that Bob Clampett was the mischief-making ringleader of the animation department!

Usually I never would have suspected that a cartoon would portray the baby boom that occurred after WWII, but "Baby Bottleneck" does just that. It portrays Daffy and Porky working in a baby-producing factory and trying to avoid the glitches that have sent certain infants to the wrong parents. Then, an unidentified egg sends everything haywire.Aside from looking at the new things going on in the world, I get the feeling that this cartoon may have inspired Fonzie. You see, when Porky picks up the egg, he tells Daffy "Sit on it." In later years, that would become the Fonz's catch phrase.Oh well, maybe I'm the only person who sees that. The overarching point is, this is a classic cartoon.

The baby-delivering Stork is in a drunk stupor and the enlisted workers are far from competent making grievous mistakes. Delevering the wrong babies to parents. Porky Pig steps up to fix the whole thing out with Daffy Duch as his secretary, but things don't go as planned in this short, another classic by Bob Clampett. All the mix-ups are frequently very funny and i found myself laughing out load quite a few times, but the ending is the real kicker. Utterly hilarious!! This animated short can be seen on Disc 3 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2 and also features an optional commentary by Michael Barrier.My Grade: A+
