Brother Brat is a 1944 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes theatrical cartoon short, directed by Frank Tashlin.[1] The short was released on July 15, 1944, and stars Porky Pig.[2]
When a mother goes to work in a factory during World War II, Porky Pig is hired to baby-sit. He quickly finds out that the baby is a violent-tempered infant. He tries to use a child psychology book to control the baby, to no avail, including a scene where the baby does a Winston Churchill impression. Eventually, the mother returns and uses the book to discipline the baby—by spanking.
