Every Child is a 1979 Canadian animated short film directed by Eugene Fedorenko .
action
A real recording studio with two men and a baby: a man imitates a bird and its flight noises; then the scene fades into an animation. A bird flies to a house. A man is busy with files and phone calls in the house. Suddenly the doorbell rings and a baby is sitting outside. The man takes it, but when the baby messes up his files, he leaves it in front of the door of the neighboring house. It is inhabited by two retirees who take the baby with them, which makes their dog feel neglected and now lays himself in front of the door and rings the doorbell. Like the child before, the couple now takes in the dog. The baby is deposited in front of the next front door and the woman there would like to keep it, but cannot prevail against her melodramatic friend.
In quick succession, the baby is now passed from door to door until it finally lands in a stroller that rolls to a garbage dump . Here two tramps find the baby and treat it well for the first time: one inflates a balloon , another begins to play a violin . The scene fades into the real recording studio, in which one of the men is playing a violin.
