Storyline

Baby central. A flock of storks is leaving with babies. An old man at a ledger book is dealing with phone calls and letters; a request for twins from Nanook of the North sends him to the refrigerator; the stork carries them in slings marked "upper birth" and "lower birth." Another request, written in Hebrew; this baby comes back as a rough Jewish stereotype, and gets stamped kosher. He then joins the head man singing the title song, and shuffling us off to see the baby assembly line, manned by dwarves. The babies are washed in a washing machine, dried, powdered, diapered in paper towels, loaded up with milk, and sent off in a crib. They clamor for "Cantor" and one of the dwarves reveals that he was _Eddie Cantor_ in disguise, followed by another round of the title song. Written by Jon Reeves <jreeves@imdb.com>

Trivia

In the sequence with the Jewish baby, the message received by the old man is in Yiddish, and says "Saturday, May 19th. Send me five children. Mrs. Ginzburg." The dialogue between the baby and the old man is also in Yiddish; the baby asks the old man, "How are you doing? [Vus machst du]," to which the old man replies, "I'm getting by [Ich mach laybn]." Before sending the baby off, the old man stamps the baby's diaper "Kosher". See more »
