To the pantheon of gangster flicks we can add Chuck Jones's "Baby Buggy Bunny". It portrays a bank robber named Ant Hill Harry, whose diminutive stature enables him to masquerade as an infant. And when he drops his loot into Bugs Bunny's home, the baby charade goes into full gear.
I get the feeling that this cartoon was basically a place holder in between the really famous ones. In my view, Ant Hill Harry - who also calls himself Baby-Face Finster - wasn't as much of a bad-ass as the little guy baby-sat by Porky Pig in "Brother Brat". But for a connection to a more famous movie, I thought that the rolling stroller resembled a scene in Sergei Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin". Of course, I'm sure that Chuck Jones didn't intend for it to look like that; he probably intended the cartoon as entertainment. It certainly entertained me. Worth seeing.
Ninety-nine years. We'll have to see how things turn out in 2107.
