Tweet Tweet Tweety

I personally like the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons, and while not their best Tweet Tweet Tweety is no exception to that. The pacing is a tad uneven though, starting off a little slower than I thought it would. However, the animation particularly of the forest itself is handsomely done, and the music especially Tweety's song and the glissando in the scoring is wonderful. The dialogue is good enough, but the sight gags are even better. While the story is admittedly slight it rarely ceases to be entertaining, and the ending works very well. Sylvester is suitably crafty, and I personally didn't mind Tweety that much though he is more active in other cartoons of his. Mel Blanc is superb again. Overall, this is a fun cartoon without being outstanding. 8/10 Bethany Cox

While accompanying his owners to a certain national park, Sylvester finds a nest and decides to wait for the egg to hatch. Guess who comes out! While most of "Tweet Tweet Tweety" has the usual sorts of gags - albeit in a forest setting - there was one thing that I saw that should be of particular interest to Looney Tunes fans: the Acme factory. That fictional corporation from which Wile E. Coyote receives every catch-the-Road-Runner gadget ever conceived of turns out to be located in this national park (we find this out when Sylvester goes there and...well, I'll let you see what happens!).

But even ignoring that entirely, this is a really funny cartoon. True, we know what sorts of things are going to happen, but it's just a pleasure to watch them happen, and to see Tweety turn into a bad-ass (he actually did have kind of a mean streak when you think about it). Worth seeing.

Here is another funny Looney Tunes effort but I really appreciated was the beautiful artwork. The browns, golds and blues in here of the national forest are spectacular. The restoration process on these Golden Collection DVDs really are apparent on cartoons like this one. This episode is on Vol. 2 of the set.

As for the story, we are in a beautiful national forest with huge redwood-type trees and Sylvester's family has the camper in the trailer park. Sylvester has his own compartment door which he swings open at the first sound of a bird. He rushes out, but a park ranger is there to quickly remind, "Don't get any ideas in that head of yours. Now, get going, cat!" Sylvester slinks away.

The cat spots a nest high up in a tree, investigates, finds an egg, decides to sit on it and hatch it....and out comes Tweety. From that point, it's a chase a la Tom and Jerry and some clever sight gags. One strange sight: Sylvester with all the fur blown off his face. An orange, stubble-faced cat was really a weird thing to see!

Wonderful Sylvester and Tweety short, directed by Robert McKimson, that has the duo in a national park with Sylvester up to his usual tricks. Beautifully animated with well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Great colors, too. The waterfall scene alone is among the best animation from any Looney Tunes short I've seen. Some very funny gags and dialogue in this one. Tweety is adorable as ever but also delivers some of the best lines. I realize some fans don't like the "cute" characters, of which Tweety is probably the poster child, but I do as they long as they aren't cloying. One of the best parts of this cartoon is when Tweety sings an amusing variation on his theme song. Great voice work from Mel Blanc. Fun music from Carl Stalling. A really good short that is, for my money, one of Sylvester and Tweety's best.

Sylvester the Cat escapes from the family RV in a national park. He sets off to hunt for some birds, but it is a Bird and Game Refuge and the Park Ranger is watching him. He climbs up a tree to find an egg in a nest. He sets about to hatch the egg. Tweety is born and becomes a pain in Sylvester.

I don't like Tweety born from Sylvester. It is not only weird. It also ignores imprinting and Tweety is no newborn. It is a weird way to introduce him. There is a lot of the Tweety Sylvester interactions, but none of them are all that memorable. All in all, this is pretty good, but not the best Tweety.
