Watch Baby Bottleneck For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

best movie i've ever seen.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

. . . 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.

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+

With a baby boom occurring among affluent parents, the storks are unable to cope with the extra work and begin to get behind on orders and make mistakes. Porky Pig is enlisted as the transportation/logistics manager to ensure all delivers are made and Daffy Duck is given the job as his assistant. However the department is so stretched that errors and problems are inevitable.Opening with an imaginative idea (although it has been done a lot as I write this) the film makes itself better by adding the great characters of Porky and Daffy together, albeit in separate scenes within the same film. The plot allows for plenty of imagination – the production line `making babies' prior to shipping out via stork (or whatever) right down to the scene showing the wrong babies delivered to all the animals!Daffy is manic but is allowed the edge of bitterness that always made him appear at his best when done just right. Porky is good as well, as are the majority of the support characters no matter how big their role.Overall this is amusing as it is all quite imaginative and funny. The inclusion of two popular and strong characters just serves to make it funnier and more polished a product.

Another Clampett powerhouse! Fast, funny, frenetic, and nightmarish. Porky and Daffy run a factory that delivers babies to their expecting parents. The highlight is Scribner's animation of Porky trying to get Daffy to sit on an unhatched egg. These scenes are presented without backgrounds, just color cards. As Jones would prove later with "Duck Amuck," Clampett shows that the only important thing is the character's personalities; that they don't need any arbitrary props or even backgrounds. In the beginning of the cartoon, Daffy argues with some irate parents over the phone. Clampett, writer Warren Foster, and animator Rod Scribner manage to make Daffy, alone with just a phone, hilarious.
