"The Child" — The Mandalorian (2019)
Baby Yoda (or technically "The Child") is unofficially 2019's patron saint. He saved the Mandalorian from being crushed by a space rhino by using his itty-bitty force powers, so he's already a hero not only in our hearts but in practice. For that reason and so many more, we must stan.

In this season 1 episode, Morty wanted a little keepsake from his adventures with his drunk uncle Rick. He ends up an alien spawn that looks like him except he has arms for ears. Morty Jr. matures quickly and soon craves destruction. Your souvenir at Disney would never.

Squid — Men in Black (1997)
This octo-baby barfed all over Will Smith. And it never made another movie. Coincidence?

Podlings — The Dark Crystal (1982)
The podlings from this '80s fantasy adventure are definitely babies, just like how a dog can always be a pup if you want them to be. This podling looks like it got the world's most expensive haircut and honestly, priorities!

Lumpawarrump — The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)
Baby Yoda has completely taken the spotlight from Chewbacca's son -- Lumpawarrump, Lumpy to his friends -- in this '70s special that definitely exists. We can't have that sort of injustice in this household.
