***Mr. Baby*** (also known as ***A Week with Mr. Baby***) ([French](/source/French_language): *Monsieur Bébé*) is a French [adult animated](/source/Adult_animated) 4-minute television series, that lasted 48 episodes, created by [Marc du Pontavice](/source/Marc_du_Pontavice) and Carol-Ann Willering, produced at [Xilam](/source/Xilam), directed by Hugo Gittard and broadcast from 3 May 2009 to 10 August 2010 on [France 3](/source/France_3) on the Toowam programming block, and [France 4](/source/France_4) on the Ludo programming block.[2] The show is animated by utilizing [Toon Boom](/source/Toon_Boom) animation. In the United Kingdom, the series originally aired on [BBC One](/source/BBC_One) from 2009 to 2012, and later aired on [Comedy Central](/source/Comedy_Central_(UK_%26_Ireland)) from 2012 to 2014. The series has yet to air on television in Canada and the United States.

The show is known for its art style reminiscent of [UPA cartoons](/source/United_Productions_of_America), as well as [Cartoon Network](/source/Cartoon_Network)'s *[Samurai Jack](/source/Samurai_Jack)*.

## Synopsis

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 older sister, Claire, who is a teenager.

## Production

[Marc du Pontavice](/source/Marc_du_Pontavice) created the show after seeing a picture somewhere of a baby sitting in a chair reading the newspaper. He and [Xilam](/source/Xilam) created the series with Hugo Gittard, in which Marc participated in almost every stage. He loved this collaboration with him because Hugo never ceased to surprise Pontavice, managing to make each episode unique, even though the series takes place in a kitchen with the same characters. With the show, Hugo definitely proved his talent as a director at Xilam.[3]
