Baby Butch exemplifies mid-century slapstick animation, emphasizing physical comedy over social commentary. The narrative is driven by the antics of anthropomorphic animal characters disrupting a stable home environment. Since the characters are non-human, the film avoids explicit racial, ethnic, or gendered identities. Instead, it adheres to traditional comedic archetypes of the 1950s, focusing on the interactions between Tom, Butch, and Jerry.
