Tom and Jerry Cartoons under this category
Jeannie the babysitter, is meant to be looking after the baby while the baby’s parents are out. However, she is more interested in talking on the telephone. At first Tom and Jerry take the opportunity to help themselves to some food, but they soon discover the baby crawling away while Jeannie continues to talk on the phone, unaware. Tom and Jerry rescue the baby from increasingly dangerous hazards, such as the cupboards, the sink, a curtain rod, the heating ducts, a flagpole, and a mailbox down the street (which leads to them being chased by the police). Jeannie is unaware through all of this, and at one point even chases Tom away for “bothering the baby” when he returns the baby to the crib. At the end, the parents return and ask Jeannie how things went. She explains that she had a little trouble with Tom, but the baby was “no trouble at all”. The camera then cuts to the baby in the crib, and the baby winks at the audience.
