- Quotes
Wheezer: Ah, I wish someone would take that ol' little baby away from here.
Mary Ann: Why Wheezer, how can you talk so?
Wheezer: Ah, before he come I used to get a little attention. Now nobody loves me.
Mary Ann: Well, after the angels brought you nobody loved me either.
Wheezer: Huh, I don't see how they could.

Featured review
Scratchy soundtrack limits the appeal of "Bouncing Babies"
I like "Bouncing Babies" - the story is good, focusing on Wheezer's disappointment over the lack of attention he gets since his baby brother was born. Wheezer prays for the angels to take his baby brother home - and to his surprise, they (or rather the nurses at the hospital) do! What will he do now?
As I said, I like "Bouncing Babies," but its appeal is limited due to the harsh conditions of the soundtrack. This was a "sound on disc" talkie, which means that the soundtrack was synchronized on a recording disc with the film. Over time, the disc received its share of bumps and bruises, and the end result is a soundtrack with many pops and hisses. It really limits the enjoyment of the film, but try to have fun with it anyway. This was the last "Our Gang" short for veterans Joe Cobb, Harry Spear and Jean Darling, though you can't see much of them because they are in Halloween costumes (Joe would make a few Gang guest appearances in the 30s.) 6 out of 10.
