Story Synopsis:
Baby’s Day Out is an outrageous comedy by the Home Alone writer/producer John Hughes. This time nine-month old “Baby Blink,” the son of high-society parents, outsmarts three baby-nappers posing as child photographers when they take him from his home in an affluent Chicago suburb. Blink easily escapes from the bumbling trio and takes himself on a day’s adventure in the city mirroring the pictures in his favorite book Baby’s Day Out, which his nanny often reads him. Chased by the three Stooges-style kidnappers, played by Joe Mantega, Joe Pantoliano, and Brian Haley, Blink miraculously escapes from danger, and out of their clutches, leaving the three banged, bruised and sore. This is a blissfully funny romp.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.85:1 picture is sharp and detailed with no grain, noise or artifacts to mar its pristine quality. Natural fleshtones, vivid colors, deep blacks all contribute for a solid, naturally great look.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is wonderfully spatial with a great music score and effective effects.
