When it comes to babies in movies and tv shows, they are often overlooked or only used for innocent and heartwarming moments, due to their lack of understanding and oftentimes, their inability to talk.
Sometimes the movie or show's entire plot revolves around the lovable tykes or they play a big role. Let's look at some of the best onscreen babies in TV or movies and why they deserve a spot on this list.
Tommy Pickles - Rugrats (1991-2004)
Tommy Pickles is the fearless and unquestioned leader of his group of similarly aged babies. In Rugrats, Tommy is the star of the show, simply because of his wild imagination and ability to turn a boring day into an adventure-filled mission.
He's smart, he's loyal to his friends, and he's arguably the most adorable cartoon baby of all time. We could make a case all of his friends should make their way on this list, but we all know they couldn't do what they do without Tommy.
Stewie Griffin - Family Guy (1999-)
When it comes to his sense of adventure and resourcefulness, Stewie from Family Guy and Tommy share that in common, but that's where the comparisons end. As a raunchier and more adult show, Stewie is more blunt, violent, and his adult humor is better for laughs among an older audience.
Stewie may be the youngest in the Griffin family but is by far the smartest, constantly creating gadgets or off-the-wall inventions like a time machine. It's safe to say that he has some potential once he grows up.
Baby Yoda - The Mandalorian (2019-)
Baby Yoda or "The Child" stole the show due to his resemblance to an old Star Wars character and his overall cuteness. Although he's technically 50 years old, "The Child" is very much still a baby, with a short vocabulary and adorable innocence.

Add in the fact he's probably the most powerful baby on this list, Baby Yoda is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Maggie Simpson - The Simpsons (1989-)
Maggie has been one of the most important babies in pop culture due to her being a part of The Simpsons. Although she spends just about every episode in complete silence, she has been shown to be pretty smart and resourceful.
For being one of the oldest babies on this list, Maggie is one of the cutest by far.
Jack-Jack - The Incredibles & Incredibles 2
Stealing the show in the second Incredibles movie, Jack-Jack is just an innocent little baby with the powers of a God, what could possibly go wrong?
Jack-Jack has displayed a variety of powers and has proven to be a handful for the Parr parents, but at the end of the day he loves his family and he's proven so many times.
Boss Baby - The Boss Baby (2017)
Like Stewie, Boss Baby has the mind and big picture thinking of an adult with a baby's body. He's a bigshot in the baby world, with a business mindset and the will to do whatever needs to be done.
He's also a great brother. Although him and his big brother got off on the wrong foot, he manages to save the relationship and become a good little bro.
Mikey - Look Who’s Talking Trilogy
Mikey is the main protagonist in Look Whos Talking, a movie that follows the life of a young baby as he struggles to understand the world through his baby brain. We can hear Mikey and what he's thinking which gives us insight to how a baby sees the world and what they think of things.
Mikey is charismatic, hilarious, and he's a great son to his mom and stepdad. In the sequel, he becomes a great mentor for his little sister.
Baby Groot - MCU
After Groot sacrificed himself to save his friends, many fans were left in shock as he was a fan-favorite and a crucial part of Guardians of the Galaxy. Many fans were delighted to see when Groot was able to branch out and recreated himself in Baby Groot, giving us an adorable and lovable version of the character.
Like Groot, Baby Groot could only speak in Groot and was a lot more innocent and clueless, leading to a lot of hilarity in the second Guardians film.
Michelle Tanner - Full House (1989-1995)
You got it, dude! There aren't a lot more memorable characters than Michelle Tanner from Full House. Literally starting the show as an infant, we watched her grow up and develop her personality as a fun-loving, sweet adoring, hilarious Michelle.
She had a lot of spunk, she was sarcastic and by far one of the funniest characters in the show. She was the ideal baby sister, used to being spoiled and getting her way.
Baby Bink - Baby's Day Out (1994)
What started off as every parent's worst nightmare, ended up a hilarious 90 minutes of watching a baby outsmart three criminals. Baby Bink is not like other babies, he was resourceful enough to escape the kidnappers and navigate his way around Chicago.
Baby Bink makes his way on this list because he was able to accomplish something no other baby would even think of doing.
