Brother Brat is a 1944 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes theatrical cartoon short, directed by Frank Tashlin. [1] It 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 her son, Butch. He quickly finds out that the baby is a violent-tempered infant, named Percy (nicknamed Butch). He tries to use a child psychology book to control the baby, but to no avail, including a scene where the baby does a Winston Churchill impression. "This means war!" Eventually at the end of the cartoon, the mother returns and asks Porky if he used it. He then replies, "Yeah, but that didn't work!" The mother replies back, "Maybe you didn't use it right. It always works for me!" then uses the book to spank the baby.
