What happens

Water Babies is a Walt Disney produced Silly Symphonies animated short film released on May 11, 1935, by United Artists. The cartoon was directed by Wilfred Jackson. It features 2-inch-tall nude babies playing games in and out of the water. The babies are all completely identical other than the color of their hair. The edited version of the film eliminates some shots that feature nude baby bottoms as a sight gag. This short was followed in 1938 by a sequel short, Merbabies. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
