Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

. . . 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!

The year 1946 marks the first full year, I believe, of "The Baby Boomers."Anyway, corny humor and a cop-out beginning (using past footage of other cartoons) has us looking at a newspaper headline reading " Unprecedented Demand For Babies Leads to Overworked Stork." We then go to the famous nightclub, "The Stork Club" (where else) where the drunk Jimmy Durante-stork is crying the blues that he does all the work and gets no credit. Then they show some stock footage in demonstrating how the stork has been making mistakes with wrong deliveries.That weak segment gives away to better things when Porky Pig is appointed to handle the stork's problems and Daffy Duck assigned as his assistant....but not that much better. The assembly line babies included some good material but Daffy doesn't look like Daffy and isn't anywhere as funny as he was in later cartoons. This has the appearance of a 1930s 'toon. It looked primitive and lacked the smart humor of the 1950s stuff.

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.
