Unlike most of Xilam's shows, Mr. Baby was their first attempt at an adult animated series, despite airing on children's programming blocks in France. While the humor is not "R-rated" in levels of South Park or Robot Chicken, its humor was more "PG-13" in levels of shows like Beavis and Butt-Head, Mission Hill, Futurama, and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.

The show is known for its art style reminiscent of UPA cartoons, as well as Cartoon Network's Samurai Jack.

Synopsis edit

The series focuses on the everyday life of Mr. Baby, who thinks and even talks like a grown-up, but also has an incredibly, severely sharp tongue. He also has an older brother, Rudy, a skater-like rebel, and an oldest sister, Claire, who is a teenager.

Translations edit

Originally from France on the publicly funded channel France 3, Monsieur Bébé was translated into English (as Mr. Baby).
