Chew Chew Baby
Chew Chew Baby is a Harveytoon animated short in the Noveltoon series made by Famous Studios for release in 1958. It was directed by Isadore Sparber from a story by Irving Spector. Jackson Beck and Jack Mercer provide uncredited voices. Cannibalism is the theme of this film, in which seven characters are attacked (six get swallowed) by a pygmy after he tracks a tourist to Cincinnati. This film shows a strong Tex Avery influence, and copies Avery's blood transfusion gag from "Crazy Mixed-Up Pup". Reception. "Motion Picture Exhibitor" (October 1, 1958): "Featuring modernistic drawings, this  concerns an American hunter in Africa who tangles with a small native who comes to America and turns out to be a purple people eater. The cannibal finds the loud-mouthed hunter. There is an accident. The hunter is given a blood transfusion from the cannibal, and this makes him a people eater, too. Fair."
