“Junior has his first tooth,” Daddy Sedan (Daws Butler) to Mommy (June Foray). Cut to the “tooth.” It’s a spark plug. The most creative thing isn’t the gag, it’s the dissolve into the next scene.
There are parts I like in the second half of the cartoon, which owes a lot to Friz Freleng’s Streamlined Greta Green of a dozen or so years earlier. The ending is better than Freleng’s Warners cartoon; the boy cab continues to be a ‘50s rebel.
Grant Simmons, Mike Lah and Walt Clinton are the credited animators.
