Tweet Tweet Tweety

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.

Sylvester cat is in a forest park. He finds an egg that he decides to sit on an hatch, but the egg contains one Tweety bird. And the chase is on once more. The poor cat also has to deal with the park ranger. I inward cringe whenever Tweety opens his mouth or especially sings, I have no clue why, I just really don't like the voice. The cartoon is alright I guess, but NOT because of Tweety, but rather in spite of him. And I have to get through a few more Tweety cartoons. Joy *rolls eyes* This animated short can be seen on Disc 3 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2 and also features an optional Music & effects only track.

My Grade: C

I have to say something in general here about the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons: while I can fully understand why they would try to prevent Sylvester from making Tweety a satisfying belch, I am puzzled when humans in the shorts seem shocked or angry that he wants to absorb bird calories into his system-he's a cat and cats try to do that as often as possible. It's like a Frenchman and wine or Garfield and picking on Odie-a natural law of the universe.

Poor Sylvester never has a chance. Tweety had a "no consumption" clause put in his contract. So the park ranger piling on is adding insult to injury. I have a better chance of dating Angelina Jolie than Sylvester has of eating Tweety! Lots of sight gags and fun to watch, but pity the poor cat. Well worth watching and recommended.

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.

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
