Baby Bottleneck is a 1945 Looney Tunes cartoon released by Waner Brothers Cartoons, directed by Bob Clampett. In The cartoon storks get over worked from delivering babies and Porky helping to deliver babies as the babies keep being delivered to the wrong parents. One scene however, has a abrupt cut.

There's a scene where a baby crocodile was delivered to a mother pig breast feeding her young. The baby crocodile tries to drink the mother's breast milk but is stopped by the mother pig. The camera zooms in on the two but then abruptly cuts to the next scene. The mother pig was originally going to say "Don't Touch That Dial!" which was a phrase used in radio back in the day.

The scene was removed because it considered too suggestive by the haze office censors as it was referring to the nipples of the mother pig. It was believed that it was removed when the cartoon reissued under the blue ribbon series along with the original title card. However when the cartoon was restored in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2 in 2004 with the original title card intact, The scene was still missing with many people believing it to be lost.

Its unknown where it is or if it was preserved if it even still exists at all.
