Bouncing Babies

Bouncing Babies (1929)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Weezer's mother has a new baby in the house, which doesn't sit too well with him. Tired of being overlooked, Weezer takes the baby back to the hospital hoping that they'll return him to Heaven. This is a pretty cute Our Gang short but I'd stop a little short of calling it very funny. For the majority o the running time we have Weezer getting depressed that he isn't getting all of the attention and trying to get some but doing it in the wrong ways. This includes him fixing pancakes only to make a mess as well as a couple scenes where he throws glass into the road to get traffic to stop so he can cross. There are a few funny lines including some where Weezer tells his mom to dress him and let the baby dress himself. Chubby has a fairly funny cameo dressed up as a devil and Pete the dog has a couple nice scenes including one where he helps Weezer dress.
