Three Men and My Baby! is episode 40 of Season 2 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by Technicolor Animation Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 12 August 2017 on Boomerang.
Synopsis
Knuckles’ monster truck has a pizza oven, and that’s where the trouble starts: a juggled pizza, a swerve and a falling tree put Lady Walrus in bed for a few days. Guilt-ridden, Sonic signs the three of them up as babysitters for her son Chumley. Minding a baby should be easier than saving the world, right?
Very. Chumley won’t stop crying, a blender mix-up nearly ends badly, Amy refuses to help with nappies, and the boys end up changing him in spacesuits. A Dude-itude rock lullaby fails, Tails’ home-made mobile works, and then an Eggman attack wakes the baby. A furious Sonic tears into the robots, Chumley lands in Eggman’s arms, and his button-mashing switches off the Eggmobile and every robot.
Chumley, it turns out, loves gratuitous violence, and a happy montage of piggyback rides, swings and plane trips follows. Then the boys wake to an empty bed and search every dangerous spot in town before confessing to Lady Walrus, just as Chumley turns up on her roof. Lesson learned? Tails’ takeaway is purely practical: the pizza oven is now locked out unless the truck is parked. And a certain toy giraffe rides on its mirror.
Trivia
- Written by Evan Stanley, the artist of Archie’s Sonic Boom comic. Lady Walrus’s baby being put in harm’s way is one of the show’s running gags; the title riffs on the film Three Men and a Baby.
- On DVD in the US: NCircle’s Season Two, Volume Two (September 2021), The Complete Season 2 (2021) and The Complete Series Blu-ray (2022).
- French title: Trois hommes et mon bébé. The episode aired in France on 26 September 2017.
