#31:The Forgotten Toybox in : The Curse of Werebaby
Season 2, Episode 6b
The Forgotten Toybox was created by Mike Bell, as his only non Super Santa based short on Oh Yeah! Cartoons. It has Daran Norris as a voice, you might know him as the voice of Mr. Turner and Cosmo in The Fairly Odd Parents and he played Gordy in Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. Here he's playing a talking pull string doll who is a host for story telling and introduces a story like this is the Twilight Zone. There's a man who acts like a jerk, then he gets bitten by a baby. (Don't ask) Then an angry doll curses him and starts to turn into a baby. The transformation is horrifying. Now, the man is giant baby terrorizing the city.
This is also a very visual gag heavy short as random stuff happens like the baby causing a plane to crash after some cars crash. He gets bigger from the power of milk. ( Milk propaganda) He does more destruction to the city. This one doesn't want you to take it too seriously and that's the fun of it. Eventually an ice cream truck gives a police officer an idea to use a loud lullaby to lull the giant baby to sleep. It works and shrinks him and he ends landing on a bed to fall asleep. The man is back to normal in the morning and thinks it's a dream except for the diaper. (Uhhhh)
The host returns to say that guy will still turn into a baby until he learns to not act like one. (odd) That's it.
There's a hook here in where it could have worked as a series as well, different strange stories presented in a more comedic way. It would have been fun to see different strange parodies. This was a fun short though, it's very quick humor and has some nice gags. Really do give this on a watch.
That's it for now, tune in next time when we talk to a man who grew 20 feet tall because of milk.
