Baby is the child of George and Joan. He only appears in two of the Tom and Jerry theatrical cartoons, those ones being ones produced by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio.
Biography[]
His tendency to crawl around a lot gets him into dangerous situations. When George and Joan have Jeannie over to babysit, she spends most of her time on the phone instead of actually babysitting, leaving Tom and Jerry to look after the baby. Jeannie misinterprets Tom's attempts to keep the baby out of trouble as "bothering" him, and attacks Tom when she sees him near the baby.
Appearance[]
He has blue eyes, a few strands of yellow hair and wears a white diaper. His minimalist character design is very reminiscent of the minimalist character designs of studios like UPA.

- Busy Buddies (1956)

- The name of the baby has never been revealed in any of the shorts; though some fans coined the name "Ben Smith" for the character.
