Goo Goo Goliath is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng, ^[1] released on September 18, 1954. ^[2] The title is a pun on the onomatopoeic phrase "goo goo ga ga", often used to imitate the sound babies make before they learn to speak.

Plot

Presented in the mockumentary style of previous Robert C. Bruce-narrated spot gag cartoons, the story focus on a giant baby that had been delivered by the drunken stork to a married couple. The giant baby escapes the couple from their house and wanders into the streets. The stork eventually delivers the giant baby to its correct parents but then delivers the married couple's actual baby (which he had delivered to the giants) to a kangaroo inside the zoo.
