Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: There's no shot of the baby's face or body that reveals he's a doll. When he's abducted it's a real baby we see. The clown then does some flips and quick movements where the baby's face or body aren't seen at all. (We "know" he is a doll, of course, but there's no visual proof of it).
