Brother Brat is a 1944 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes theatrical cartoon short, directed by Frank Tashlin.[1] The short was released on July 15, 1944, and stars Porky Pig.[2]

Plot

When a mother (voiced by Bea Benaderet impersonating Cass Daley) goes to work in a factory during World War II (see Rosie the Riveter), Porky Pig is hired to baby-sit. He quickly finds out that the baby is a violent-tempered infant. He tries to use a child psychology book to control the baby, to no avail. Eventually, the mother returns and uses the book to discipline the baby — by spanking.
