Baby Huey is a gigantic and naïve duckling cartoon character. He was created by Martin Taras for the Paramount Pictures cartoon outlet Famous Studios, and became a short lived Paramount cartoon star during the 1950s. Although created by Famous for its animated cartoons, Huey first appeared in comic-book form in an original story in Casper the Friendly Ghost #1, September 1949, as published by St. John Publications.

Small Parent, Huge Child: The shorts star a gigantic duckling that often causes trouble to the other normal-sized ducks with his clumsiness. In his debut short, it's shown that his massive size is the result of his mother overdosing on vitamin pills.

Vocal Evolution

comment
Vocal Evolution: Despite digitally altering the voice in post-production, Sid Raymond's voice is still noticeably more low and mellow sounding in The Baby Huey Show compared to how he portrayed Huey in the original cartoons. This is understandable though, since Sid was 85 years old when he reprised the role of Huey.

Strictly Formula
 Baby Huey / int_3f1aadeb
comment
Strictly Formula: The majority of the original Famous shorts entail the following basic plot beats: Huey starts off performing an activity stereotypical of a baby or toddler, comically distorted by his size. Noticing the other, average-sized ducklings are doing something fun, Huey rushes off to play with or join them, yelling "Hey, fellas!" or something very similar to it. The ducklings react in a negative way, muttering some variation of "here comes that dopey Huey", and either attempt to deter him from joining or just flee from him on sight. The ducklings are briefly menaced by the fox. The fox notices a distraught and sobbing Huey, and immediately recognizes him as a huge meal, sometimes learning the hard way that he's nigh-invulnerable by attempting to kill him in a way that Huey doesn't even notice (like throwing a boulder onto his head that bounces off, or hitting him with a pipe that retains the shape of his face). The fox changes tactics, disguising himself as a figure of authority (circus ringmaster, scoutmaster, etc.) in the role or theme evoked by the game Huey wants to play, to exploit his innocence. He presents himself to Huey, who falls for the scam immediately. Three gags ensue, in which the fox attempts to eat or incapacitate Huey — frequently presenting it as something based on the profession he's impersonating — but is foiled by Huey's size, naivete, invulnerability, or some combination of the three. Huey recognizes the fox's identity — either because the fox's costume has been compromised in some way by the gag, or just because he finally and abruptly catches on. This is almost invariably paired with the line "you're the fox, and I think you're trying to kill me!". After using his strength to give the fox a comeuppance ironically related to the disguise, Huey earns the respect of his peers.

Expy: Baby Huey's combination of dimwitted naivete and disproportionate size bears more than a glancing resemblance to 'Junyer' Bear from Chuck Jones ' Three Bears, a minor Looney Tunes series.

Beware the Nice Ones: For the most part, he's fairly harmless (well, he usually wouldn't harm someone on purpose), unless he realizes someone's trying to harm him, then all bets are off.
