Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

TheLittleSongbird Not one of my favourite cartoons ever, but good fun nonetheless. It does get predictable by the end despite a very interesting concept, a couple of the gags not featuring the stork are on the dry side and the pacing in the middle could have been crisper. However, the animation is colourful and cleanly detailed, the sight of the giant toys is an incredible sight to behold visually. The music is lively, lushly orchestrated and characterful with clever arrangements of pre-existing tunes. The narration is sharply satirical, and the subtext with the father's terror at having a new baby in his life is one that anybody would identify with. Most of the gags are very amusing, though not much is hilarious. The best moments come from the stork, though the moment with the giant father using a jeweller's eye(manacle?) to change nappies is also memorable. The characters are good enough, only the stork has staying star power though nobody is useless to the story which is a good thing. The voice acting from Mel Blanc, Bea Beanderet(who does a fine job with the least to do of the three) and Norman Nesbitt is terrific. All in all, good fun. 7/10 Bethany Cox

phantom_tollbooth Friz Freleng's domestic comedy 'Goo Goo Goliath' takes as its starting point the idea of babies delivered to the wrong parents. Although this idea had been touched on before in cartoons such as Bob Clampett's 'Baby Bottleneck', 'Goo Goo Goliath' adds the amusing touch that the mix up is due to the drunkenness of a stork who is perpetually toasted by new parents. This concept is the best thing about this rather weak cartoon and Freleng would reprise it in the Bugs Bunny cartoon 'Apes of Wrath'. 'Goo Goo Goliath' is also similar to Chuck Jones's equally odd and misfiring 'Rocket-Bye Baby' which emerged two years after 'Goo Goo Goliath'. The idea of a giant baby delivered to a normal sized couple has very limited comic potential and 'Goo Goo Goliath' struggles to make the concept work. It's not helped by the unattractive, angular style in which the cartoon is presented. Ultimately, the jokes run dry almost immediately and there is little to recommend this unusual but unappealing cartoon.

Lee Eisenberg I've always wondered what's up with the image of the drunken stork. Whatever it is, the besotted wading bird of the family Ciconiidae delivers a giant baby to a normal-sized couple, and...well, whatever your problems raising a baby are, they can't be this bad! I'm sure that "Goo Goo Goliath" was mostly a place holder (every director got to direct one or two miscellaneous cartoons each year). While not what I consider hilarious, it's easily enjoyable. Of course, you gotta pity storks. The mythical deliverers of new babies get depicted in cartoons as irresponsible alcoholics.Anyway, worth seeing.

Op_Prime The Stork. The Stork is only source of humor in this otherwise not funny and dry short. It's rather predictable and does not offer any real amusement. The Stork really makes you laugh but other than him, I really would not waste my time watching this.
