All's Well (1941)
2/10
Where Was The Mother?
8 August 2007
This is really, really a dumb cartoon. It all deals with a baby in a carriage crying his eyes out and Gabby coming along and trying to "help" him stop crying. Who would leave a baby unattended outside? Even if some mother were inside, she would hear all the racket and come out. Not in this dumb story. Even for a cartoon, where nothing usually makes sense and we expect that, this is still stupid.

Gabby is walking along singing his song about "All's Well," when he hears the kid and discover thing's aren't obviously "well." They get worse as this infant, who has Mohawk haircut, is the baby from hell. He's brutal and gives the do-gooder a severe beating a number of times. (Still nobody comes outside to see what's happening.) Gabby is bound- and-determined to put a diaper on this kid. In today's world, he would be arrested for child abuse.

In the end, pun intended, let's just say the mission was accomplished but not exactly as intended!
