It's Christmas at Granny's house and everything is kind of crazy. Sylvester is trying to eat Tweety, Hector the bulldog is trying to eat Sylvester, and Granny is trying to keep the peace. One of the best Sylvester & Tweety shorts, brought to us by Friz Freleng. The animation is beautiful with really lush colors. The music is lively and fun. The always great voicework from Mel Blanc and Bea Benaderet is a treat. Wonderful characters alternate between being adorable and being hilarious. It's such a good cartoon. Plus it's Christmas-themed so it has that added bonus and even ends with everybody singing a Christmas carol (badly).
. . . being swallowed by a slightly larger finned friend, which in turn is gobbled up by a yet more formidable sea creature, and so forth. GIFT WRAPPED trots out this tried and true formula, switching the interminable sequence of fish to multiple montages of a feathered being getting et up by a feline who is then consumed by a bulldog. This whole sequence of events may give young tater tots misconceptions about the basics of food consumption. On the other hand, GIFT WRAPPED is more likely than not to push an impressionable urchin into the Vegetarian Camp just in time to refuse their helpings of Christmas goose and mincemeat pie.
"Gift Wrapped" a 52 short from "Looney Tunes" is one memorable and well done Christmas cartoon. It's set on Christmas morning as Sylvester the cat awakes to be disappointed at his present so he wants to move in and take granny's present which is that cute pretty yellow little flying bird "Tweety". In typical fashion the chase and fun clever gags begin it's a trio triangle effect Sylvester after Tweety, then Bulldog is after Sylvester, only the subplot and wild card is sweet old smart Granny is around to keep peace and joy on Christmas. The scenes go in with Christmas of the tree and the singing only in the end Tweety is comfortable and right at home with Granny and singing carols as the Bulldog and Sylvester are wrapped with their voices put to rest! Well done Christmas cartoon that's fun and memorable!
. . . Livingston is not given enough credit here in GIFT WRAPPED and by those pontificating on this lengthy animation. This Sylvester Cat and Tweeting Bird cartoon begins with a voiceover of Captain Livingston's most revered poem, commonly referred to by its opening words, "Twas the Night before Christmas." Space does not permit a full recap of how a senile Tory traitor was spoofed by devious "friends" and relatives into stealing credit for "A Visit from Saint Nick" after the rightful author had passed away. Nor is there room to expound upon the cartoon writers continual stereotypical demeaning of Native American luminaries Geronimo and Pocahontas. Suffice it to say that this film deserves an "R" rating for wallowing in questionable material.
Friz Freleng's 'Gift Wrapped' is a decent entry in the lacklustre Tweety and Sylvester series. A Christmas cartoon set entirely in a house on Christmas morning, 'Gift Wrapped' adheres to some pretty standard and not terribly funny jokes involving dynamite and surprisingly effective toy guns. Such gags can be made fresh again with the right execution but in the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons Freleng always seemed content to just play them the way they'd already been played a million times before. The addition of Granny and a Bulldog to proceedings adds a little colour and Tweety is not excessively annoying this time round either but the main thing that saves 'Gift Wrapped' from being as weak as the worst Tweety and Sylvester shorts is the impeccably realised festive atmosphere which gives the cartoon a pleasingly cosy feel. I used to love seeing 'Gift Wrapped' at Christmas when I was young and that happy memory has not totally deserted me as I watch it again. But sentiment is not enough to make a great cartoon and 'Gift Wrapped' remains merely OK, a mildly enjoyable trip down memory lane which opens with its best moment ("You just ain't whistling Dixie") and then fails to live up to it.

- CuriosidadesGranny calls the yellow avian a Tweety Bird in this episode.
- Erros de gravaçãoWhen Sylvester uses the toy crane, he cranks it in the same direction to both lower the grappling claw and raise it. He should have cranked it in the opposite direction to raise it. POSSIBLE EXPLANATION: There might have been just enough rope on the windlass to extend the grappling hook down to the quarry; if the rope was attached to the windlass at the end, then it would wind back in if the windlass was turned in the same direction.
- Versões alternativasCurrent Cartoon Network version cuts out the entire scene in which Sylvester, dressed as an Indian, tries to catch Tweety, who's dressed as a cowboy. Sylvester pulls off the cork of Tweety's gun and gets blasted in the face. He manages to catch Tweety but gets stopped by Granny, who's also dressed like an Indian.
