The stork has been overworked so inexperienced help is brought in, leading to lots of delivery errors. So Porky is hired to run the baby factory and brings along Daffy as his assistant. Wackiness follows. Great Looney Tunes short from Bob Clampett. Plenty of funny lines, gags, and even pop culture references of the time. Lovely animation; well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Nice colors. The music from Carl Stalling is bouncy and fits the action well. Excellent voice work as always from Mel Blanc. The cartoon moves along at a fast pace which plays particularly well to Daffy's zany strengths. A very entertaining short all around. Sure to please most fans of the Porky & Daffy team-ups.

Baby Bottleneck is a brilliant short and I found it to be quit entertaining and amusing with also a lot of enjoyably funny characters.A Stork has been getting a lot of trouble delivering babys and has been getting inexperienced help to make emergency delieveries,so Porky Pig and Daffy Duck takeover,but a lot of trouble happens when an egg has no address and Porky tries to get Daffy to sit on it.****/*****4/5 STARS9/10-DILLON HARRIS

Now, Mr. Robert Clampett is my favourite Warner Brothers director. The work he did while with Leon Schlesinger and Warner's cannot be beat, in my opinion. I found the scene with the baby hippo and Scotty Dog really funny, with Scotty singing "Rockabye Baby," but having to suddenly change the words to fit the situation - the baby hippo is too heavy, so the rocking chair breaks and Scotty says, "...the cradle will flop." I also really liked the "baby kitten delivered to a mother duck" scene, which was funny because (most) cats are afraid of water (which is evident with the little kitten screaming) and another baby kitten delivered to a father mouse (the father is terrified but the kitty is playful). I also found what was left of the baby alligator delivered to the mother pig scene laughable, with the alligator stretching his body out to make room for himself, as he pushes the little piglets away. I find it odd that I liked Daffy's line of "No. Ohhh, no. Sitting on eggs is out, O-W-T, out!" so much considering The Henpecked Duck, another Clampett classic (and also my favourite Looney Tune of all time) also involves Daffy being instructed to sit on an egg. But the end is funny with the mother gorilla realizing she basically has a mutant baby with a duck (Daffy) as the upper body and a pig (Porky) as the lower body. Although I was not originally familiar with the last line, I did feel sorry for that mama. All in all, my favourite director has scored another point for himself, by a long shot. 8/10

Another Clampett powerhouse! Fast, funny, frenetic, and nightmarish. Porky and Daffy run a factory that delivers babies to their expecting parents. The highlight is Scribner's animation of Porky trying to get Daffy to sit on an unhatched egg. These scenes are presented without backgrounds, just color cards. As Jones would prove later with "Duck Amuck," Clampett shows that the only important thing is the character's personalities; that they don't need any arbitrary props or even backgrounds. In the beginning of the cartoon, Daffy argues with some irate parents over the phone. Clampett, writer Warren Foster, and animator Rod Scribner manage to make Daffy, alone with just a phone, hilarious.
