| Overview: | Sufferin' succotash! It was a match made in cartoon heaven. When animation director Friz Freleng teamed the lisping pussycat Sylvester with the not-so-innocent little canary named Tweety, he earned big laughs and an Oscar. In that film, "Tweetie Pie", Sylvester's efforts to extract the yellow bird from his cage literally bring down the house--his master's house, that is!
Bob Clampett created our feathered friend in "A Tale Of Two Kitties", opposite a pair of "Abbott and Costello" cats. "The Gruesome Twosome" are rival alleycats (one a caricature of Jimmy Durante) who chase Tweety for the hand of a female feline. The canary plays a fireman in "Birdie And The Beast", quenching a cat's burning thirst with a gusher of gasoline!
Sylvester made his debut atypically in "Life With Feathers", trying to escape a bird who wants to be eaten! The cat feels "Crowing Pains" trying to convince Foghorn Leghorn he's not a chicken and gets musical in "Back Alley Oproar", an uproarious midnight concert on Elmer Fudd's backyard fence.
Plus: Tweety versus Sylvester in "I Taw A Putty Tat". Together or on their own, this cat and canary will have you chirping with laughter!
