BCDB: Cartoon Reviews: Baby Puss

I THINK THAT WHEN MOMMY CAME BACK IN TO SEE THOSE ALLEY CATS PLAYING WITH THE BABY, SHE SHOULD'VE PUT THE BABY BACK IN THE CRADLE WITH HIS BOTTLE OR EVEN A PACIFIER.SHE COULD HAVE CAUGHT THE OTHER ALLEY CATS AND DRESSED THEM UP IN BABY CLOTHES AND DIAPERS AND HAD A NURSERY FULL OF BABIES.,,,,,,MABEY THEY SHOULD COME UP WITH A BABY PUSS PART 2,WHERE THE MOMMY CALLS THE BABYSITTERS(BUTCH AND FRIENDS) TO WATCH THE BABY WHILE SHE GOES OUT IN TOWN.

This Cartoon is great because it was the first cartoon to shift direction. It went a little awey from premise of Tom chase Jerry, and Focuses on Tom versus his friends for a little bit.


The Cartoon startes off with Tom getting yelled at by his owner, a little girl. Tom is dressed in blue baby booties, a pink bonnet, and a white cloth diaper with 2 saftey pins on the sides. Tom is in a nursery surronded by baby toys and equipment. After the little girl pulls Tom from under a dresser, she puts him in a crib, gives him a bottle of milk, and tells him she's going downtown to buy a new girdle and that he is not to get out or she will spank him. After she leaves, Tom throws the covers off of him thinking he has the worst luck in the world. Then Tom notices the bottle of milk. Enjoying the milk, Tom decides to play along and starts to act like a baby. Jerry enters shortly after, only to find Tom acting like a baby. Jerry laughs and runs over to a record player and plays "Rock-a-bye baby" so loud it startles Tom who jumps in the air. Jerry makes fun of Tom by acting like a baby as well and Tom chases Jerry around the nursery.

Jerry leads Tom to a dollhouse were Jerry locks out Tom by locking the door and putting "Measels" on the door. Tom opens the bathroom screen after he sees it close and sees Jerry pretending to bath. Jerry screams and hits Tom with a toy brush. Jerry runs downstairs and leaps into the toy bed only to get right out again when a doll pops out and startles him. Jerry then puts on the doll's clothing and walks out to a surprised Tom who just watches as Jerry trips over his clothes without noticing and shows his tail. Tom steps on Jerry's tail to stop him and tries to grab Jerry but fails as Jerry runs back into the dollhouse. Angry Tom can't stand the dollhouse anymore and takes to his feet. Tom prys open the dollhouse roof thats full of nails. Tom sticks his head in for just a second until he hears "BABY"! Tom drops the roof on his head, but manages to get out unharmed. Tom's owner yells at him more.

After his owner puts him back into his crib, she tells him that if he gets out one time, she will feed him Castor oil. After she leaves Tom almost throws the bottle awey, but he decides to ignore Jerry and focus on his milk. Jerry decides to call for some back up. Jerry goes to the window and calls some alleycats going threw some garbage. Jerry lures the alleycats into the nursery and instead of finding Jerry, they find Tom acting like a baby. The alleycats decide to have some fun with baby Tom and start poking fun of him by singing "Rock-a-bye baby". After being startled by them, Tom gets very angery since they're doing exactly what Jerry did. Tom gets out of his crib and runs over to the alleycats making fun of him. A fatel mistake, Tom would regret this later.

Tom angerly stares into the alleycats eyes only to cower back after 1 "A-Goo". With Tom cowering back, the leader Butch grabs Tom's bonnet laces and pulls, stunning Tom. With Tom stunned, Butch opens Tom's diaper and shoves his head into his diaper, then closes it and pushes Tom back to his crib. Tom pulls his head free and takes cover under his covers. Butch walks over, then "Rock-a-byes" and "Goochie goos" baby Tom. Butch then drinks Tom's milk and places the rubber stopper on his nose. Butch procceds by pulling on the stopper and letting go which snaps back at Tom. Tom then stands up to confront Butch, but Butch calmly blows air into the rubber stopper which inflates Tom's head, then his head deflates as his rubber stopper inflates like a balloon. Butch then pops the stopper which send Tom spinning above his crib, then back in. Butch picks up baby Tom, and gives him "Opps-a-daisys". The first throw is normal other than it's high height. The Second one makes Tom hit the ceiling and come back down only to hit the floor and he bounces back to Butch's hands. The thrid one is a forward pass to the other alleycats which lands him eventually diaper first in a fishbowl. Tom manages to free himself only to see his diaper is really wet. Baby Tom looks over to Butch and company only to be felt like a naughty baby for getting his diaper wet. Tom tries to shake dry his diaper, but the shortest alleycat arrives with a toy stroller which his pulls Tom into and transports him to a changing table.

Tom is launched onto the changing table and knocked out so he dosen't try to avoid his diaper change. Butch puts on a bib (Tom's) and pretends to a doctor prforming surgery. Butch pulls off Tom's old wet diaper and asks for a fresh one. One of the alleycats dresses up like a nurse and hands Butch a fresh diaper, only to have the old one threw at his face. Butch takes the new diaper and then applies Baby Powder and Baby oil. Butch asks for a saftey pin but accidentley pokes it threw Tom's skin. Tom jumps into the air screaming, but is quickly knocked out again. Butch removes the saftey pin with forceps. Then, Butch mounts up Tom's behind and applies a strechey pair of yellow baby rubber pants because Tom's diaper soaked threw. Tom is then put up on the changing table as he regains composer. While he does that, the alleycats throw the fish from the fishbowl, into Tom's yellow baby rubber pants which start off the musical number (see Production notes). During the musical number, Tom gives up and lets Butch and company step all over him, as they squirt milk at him, use his rubber pants as a bass, his head as a drum, and his whiskers as voliens. At the end of the musical number, Tom's owner walks in only to see Tom out of his crib with his diaper changed with friends over. She screams "Baby"! which scares of the alleycats and leaves Tom helpless, hooked onto the changing table by his rubber pants.

Tom is yelled at by the little girl and put into a high chair. Tom tries to refuse the Castor oil the little girl tries to feed him for his punishment. Jerry opens baby Tom's closed mouth by pinching his tail with forceps. Tom swallows the Castor oil and runs to the window to throw-up. Jerry laughs under the high chair unaware that the Castor oil has been knocked over. The Castor oil falls into Jerry's mouth, and he runs to the window with baby Tom to throw-up.

Another reason this Cartoon is great is because Tom tries to avoid the things babies go through in a day. Tom still goes through baby things such as:
1. Drinking a bottle.
2. Being "Rock-a-byed", "Goochie gooed", and "Opps-a-daisyed".
3. Having his diaper changed.
4. Put into a high chair.
5. Throwing-up.

I feel pretty bad for Tom,but I found out he likes it being an infant for the little girl,but comes Butch & his crew they start to make fun of him just like Jerry did in the beginng of this cartoon and it got pretty funny when she him castor oil & threw up.

This cartoon starts off with Tom being carrier by his upset owner (a little girl with a "Mommy obsession"). Tom is wearing booties, baby bonnet and diapers. He's put into his cradle, told not to get out of it and fed a baby bottle of milk. For Tom, it's all bad except for the milk.

Jerry soon gets in on the action and Tom proceeds to chase him around the nursery. After going back and forth for awhile, Tom's owner catches Tom outside of his cradle. She angrily picks him up and deposits him back into it. Tom decided to enjoy his bottle and forget Jerry's tauntings.

Wanting to cause more problems for Tom, Jerry gets 3 alley cats (Butch and friends) to run into then nursery. Instead of finding Jerry they find Baby Tom, instead.

The fun begins as the alley cats taunt poor Tom. Tom tries to stand up for himself but all it takes is one "A-goo" from the alley cats to cause Tom to shrink back. Tom is knocked back into his cradle where he seeks the comfort of his blanket and baby bottle. After Butch "rockie-byes" and "cootchie-coos" Tom, he is thrown into a fishbowl, diaper-first. When Tom frees himself from the fishbowl he's distressed at how wet his diaper is. The alley cats further make Tom feel like a naughty baby. Tom is then forced onto a changing table to receive his much-needed diaper change. Butch oils, powders and then places a clean, fresh diaper on Tom. Because Tom was not able to keep himself dry, Butch puts Tom in stretchy pair of Rubber Pants. After throwing a goldfish into the back of Tom's Rubber Pants, he starts to move to beat of Carmen Miranda 40's hit "Mama Eu Quero". The alley cats launch into a full blown version of the song while using Tom's Rubber Pants (bass) and whiskers (guitar strings) as musical instruments.

After awhile, Tom's owner returns. Everyone escapes except Tom. He's then placed in a high chair and made to eat castor oil. After get a mouthful he runs to a nearby window to heave. Jerry, who was standing under the highchair also gets a taste and he to runs to the window. The End.

This episode is great because it combines a lot of elements: Tom getting his come-uppance, musical song and dance numbers (Rock a Bye Baby, You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby, Baby Face, Mama Eu Quero), and the usual Tom and Jerry chase scene to make a memorable cartoon. Also memorable is how powerless Tom is when in the presence of his peers. Tom was a big bully who could get away wit picking on Jerry, but wasn't tough enough to fight with cats his own size. Thus, putting Tom in diapers to be treated like a baby was a good position for him.

I love this cartoon. When the cats put the rubber baby pants on Puss. They looked so cute and stretchy. Also when he put the fish into the rubber pants.
See what happens to bad little people. You get put in rubber pants. put in a highchair and get castor oil. Poor baby!
