Baby Huey (figure)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baby Huey is a cartoon and comic book character produced by the American film production company Paramount Pictures and Harvey Entertainment .

Baby Huey was created in 1949 by Martin Taras , a cartoonist with Famous Films, the animation studio owned by Paramount Pictures. The figure was conceived as a giant duckling, which is naive, fearless and stupid, but very strong. She wears a blue baby cap with a neck bow and brown pants.

Huey first appeared as a cartoon character in Quack-A-Doodle-Doo , a short film in the Noveltoon series, which was released in 1950. By 1959, other short cartoons with Baby Huey as the main character came out. The plot revolved mainly around the fact that a fox tried to eat Baby Huey or other ducks, but each of these was destroyed by Baby Huey, mostly completely unintentionally. Baby Huey was voiced by Sid Raymond .

In addition to the cartoons, Baby Huey also appeared in numerous comics, for the first time in the first volume of the series Casper, the Friendly Ghost by St. John Publications, published in 1949 . He was later a character in Harvey Comics series: first in Paramount Animated Comics , later in Baby Huey, the Baby Giant . Harvey's other series were Baby Huey in Duckland and Baby Huey & Papa . In the 1970s, interest in Baby Huey as a cartoon character waned.

In the mid-1990s, Harvey produced an animated series with Baby Huey as the main character, The Baby Huey Show , in German The Baby Hubert Show . The series was animated by Carbunkle Cartoons and then by Film Roman . It aired between 1994 and 1995. The speaking role of Baby Huey was first taken over by Sid Raymond, then by Joe Alaskey .

In 1999, Baby Huey's Great Easter Adventure was released, a Harvey-produced feature film that was released directly to video . The film, directed by Stephen Furst , was shot with real actors, with Huey performing in a costume.

The rock and blues singer James T. Ramey , who was active in the 1960s, named himself after Baby Huey.
