This is a great 1940's Warner Bros. cartoon starring the iconic Tweety bird, by my favorite cartoonist Bob Clampett. In today's pop culture Tweety is known for being a sweet canary who is always fighting Sylvester the cat, who wants to eat him. But big fans of "looney tunes" know that in Tweety's first three cartoon appearances, he was a lot different then he's known to be today. Bob Clampett created Tweety in 1941 after seeing a baby picture of himself and his Tweety was a featherless baby bird who fought cats who tried to eat him. But after three cartoons Bob left the studio and animator Friz Freling decided to team Tweety with his character Sylvester, he also gave Tweety yellow feathers and made him a canary(that was partly due to the censored guys saying Tweety looked to naked). But Friz made Tweety very sweet, almost innocent and oddly feminine causing for a lot of confusion of Tweety being a girl or boy. But Clampett's original take on Tweety was great and this is the best of Tweety's three original solo cartoons. But this is also one of the best of Clampett's cartoon. All the animators at Warner Bros. at this time were great and legends but Bob always amazes me with his zany cartoons. The cartoon has a great plot and a great set up to introducing Tweety. The opening is great with two alley cats fighting over a girl cat. The animation is fantastic with a lot of silly cartoon-ish violence. Bob brings so much personality to his characters, the two cats who are "the gruesome twosome" are great. One is a dumb, chubby yellow cat who influence the creator of Ren & Stimpy to create Stimpy. The other is a orange cat that's a hilarious parody of legendary comedian/actor Jimmy Durant who was popular at this time. Who ever did the voice of the Durant cat did a great job. This cartoon has a lot of great visual gags. One great gag is when a dog comes out of nowhere and says "I don't actually belong in this picture but I can't pass up this" and kisses the girl cat while the other two cats were fighting. I love Bob's silly sense of humor. The two cats go looking for a bird to win over the girl cat and they find Tweety. It'a long build up that really pays off because once Tweety shows up he steals the show. I love how small and puny Bob made Tweety, he looks defenseless against two cats but the twist is he might look small but he's much more then the cats can handle. I like his first scene the way he looks directly into the eyes of the cats and says his classic "I taught I taw a putty tat". In his first three cartoons he has a great reoccurring line saying "the poor putty tat, he fall down and go BOOM! shouting the "boom" part. I like the song Tweety sings here " I taught I taw a putty tat, a putty tat, I know I taw a putty tat looking through my window". Bob's Tweety is so cool and full of attitude. I love the Slyvester & Tweety cartoons by Friz but Bob gives Tweety a great personality, he's sassy, wild and a little mischievous. I love how Tweety defends himself against the cats, although one scene never made sense to me, the cats dress as a horse to catch Tweety, which dosen't make sense to me. How dressing like a horse is going to catch Tweety? Anyway the ending is great when Tweety tricks a dog to go after the cats. The animation of Tweety hitting the dog with a bone is hilariously great. While the dog and cats are fighting Tweety looks at the camera and says "I lose more putty tat that way" and then does a Jimmy Durant "ha cha cha". This has a hip 40's style and I like the background drawings, Mel Blanc's voice as Tweety and great music. Tweety Bird never been so cool!
