Alles einsteigen, bitte

Tweety is sent in his cage on a train by his old-lady owner. In the same baggage car, also in a cage, is Sylvester.

In no time, Sylvester has grabbed Tweety but a trainman comes back and slaps the "sneakin' feline," as he calls him, back in his cage. He puts Tweety "in a safer place," up high and tells the cat, "Now, remember: no tricks!" Sylvester puts his halo on and looks innocent. Yeah, right.

I found the funniest stuff, however, didn't involve Sylvester versus Tweety but the "viscious dog" that is in another cage next to Sylvester. The cat gets mouthy with him, and pays a big price in an extremely funny manner. Sylvester just doesn't learn, but that's one reason we love him! (I know a number of IMDb reviewers don't like Tweety but I like both main characters - they both crack me up!)

Also, the train, and the passing scenery, is beautifully illustrated in here - really nice visuals.

Sylvester cat, Tweety bird, and a bulldog are all on a train. Obviosly Sylvester wants to eat Tweety, but is hampered greatly by the vicious dog, and to a very lesser degree the conductor. This cartoon was not good nor bad it was simply there. It didn't help my theory I formed while watching the previous short on disc 3 "Bad Ol' Putty Tat", because the bird's presence was incidental at best, and it just seemed to me to be a Sylvester versus some random dog cartoon. Basically consisting of said dog beating the snot out of the cat. This animated short can be seen on Disc 3 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2.

My Grade: C

Pretty simple Sylvester & Tweety short. The duo plus a bulldog are all on a train together in the baggage car. Sylvester tries to eat Tweety repeatedly and is stopped by the conductor and the bulldog. It's a formulaic cartoon but a fun one. A lot of people don't care for this series of shorts but I find myself enjoying every one that I see. Mel Blanc is terrific, as usual. Beautiful, colorful animation. Love all the train stuff. Carl Stalling's music is great. Tweety is adorable and funny. He sings his "I'm a tweet wittle bird in a diwlded tage" song. I believe the bulldog is Hector but he isn't named here. He looks like Hector, though. It's always fun to watch Sylvester get knocked around and there's plenty of those gags in this short. Like I said, you either like Tweety & Sylvester cartoons or you don't. If you do, you'll surely like this one.

It so happens that Tweety and Sylvester are on the same train. Of course fur and feathers fly. There isn't anything unusual about this one, but the animation and the story line work quite well. Sylvester is more enterprising here as he does a kind of Wile e Coyote thing, never being deterred. It's no secret who will win the ultimate confrontation, but it's fun getting there.

Tweety Bird is being transported on a train by itself and placed next to Sylvester Cat in the cargo compartment. A train employee stops Sylvester and puts Tweety high up safe from the cat. That doesn't stop Sylvester. There is also a big snarling bulldog.

This is Tweety and Sylvester and other characters. The other characters can sometimes feel like they get in the way. I like it better when Tweety doesn't get help from other characters. I don't mind the dog. Tweety often uses them. I don't like the human intervention and this one isn't even the old lady owner. This is mostly a good Tweety cartoon.
