Chew Chew Baby
- August 15, 1958 (1958-08-15)
Chew Chew Baby is a Paramount/Harveytoon animated short in the Noveltoon series made by Paramount Cartoon Studios for release on August 15, 1958.[1] It was directed by Isadore Sparber from a story by Irving Spector. Jackson Beck and Jack Mercer provide uncredited voices.
Cannibalism is the theme of this film, in which seven characters are attacked (six get swallowed) by a pygmy after he tracks a tourist to Cincinnati.
This film shows a strong Tex Avery influence, and copies Avery's blood transfusion gag from Crazy Mixed-Up Pup.
Reception
Motion Picture Exhibitor (October 1, 1958): "Featuring modernistic drawings, this concerns an American hunter in Africa who tangles with a small native who comes to America and turns out to be a purple people eater. The cannibal finds the loud-mouthed hunter. There is an accident. The hunter is given a blood transfusion from the cannibal, and this makes him a people eater, too. Fair".[2]
