An Over-Incubated Baby

1901 · 1 min Science Fiction Comedy
4.9 / 10 · TMDB

An up to date idea and a great picture. The professor sits in his laboratory with his newly invented baby incubator. A mother who is anxious for the growth of her child enters, places her baby in care of the professor, who promptly places it in the incubator. An alcohol lamp is lighted under the apparatus, but the professor evidently gets his machine too hot, for in a few seconds the top is opened and the baby taken out. To the great anger of its mother it has grown about two feet in height and has long hair and a full beard. (Edison Catalog)

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs an absurd situation, relying on the era's fascination with science and its humorous pitfalls. It explores a simple yet effective visual gag with an unexpected outcome of a runaway experiment.

What lingers after viewing is a charming smirk at this early attempt to blend speculative fiction with comedy, where technological ambition hilariously backfires. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Walter R. Booth
