Personality and identity
editDespite the perceptions that people may hold, owing to the long eyelashes and high-pitched voice (whichMel Blancprovided), Tweety is male[6][7][8]although his ambiguity was played with. For example, in the cartoon "Snow Business",[9]whenGrannyentered a room containing Tweety andSylvestershe said: "Here I am, boys!" Another confirmation that Tweety is male comes from the cartoonGreedy for Tweetyin which during a hospital stay, Granny (portrayed as a nurse) utters "Oh the poor little Tweety bird, let's makes him a little more comfortable," as she adjusts his bed. Nonetheless, a 1952 cartoon was entitledAin'tSheTweet.Also, his species is ambiguous; although originally and often portrayed as a youngcanary,he is also frequently called a rare and valuable "tweety bird" as a plot device, and once called "the only living specimen". Nevertheless, thetitle songofThe Sylvester & Tweety Mysteriesdirectly states that he is a canary. His shape more closely suggests that of ababybird, which is what he was during his early appearances (although the "baby bird" aspect has been used in a few later cartoons as a plot device). The yellow feathers were added, but otherwise he retained the baby-bird shape.
In his early appearances inBob Clampettcartoons, Tweety is a very aggressive character who tries anything to foil his feline adversary, even kicking the cat when he is down. One example of a malicious moment is in the cartoonBirdy and the Beast,where a cat chases Tweety by flying until he remembers that cats cannot fly, causing him to fall. Tweety says sympathetically, "Awww, the poor kitty cat! He faw down and go (in a loud, tough, masculine voice) BOOM!! "and then grins mischievously. A similar use of that voice is inA Tale Of Two Kittieswhen Tweety, wearing anair raid warden's helmet, suddenly yells "Turn out those lights!"
Tweety's aggressive nature was also initially characterized byFriz Frelengwhen he began directing the series, but would later be toned-down to instead have him be portrayed as a cutesy bird usually going about his business, and doing little to thwart Sylvester's ill-conceived plots, allowing them to simply collapse on their own; he became even less aggressive when Granny was introduced, but occasionally Tweety still showed a malicious side when egged on. Despite this, in comparison with other majorLooney Tunesprotagonists such asBugs BunnyandFoghorn Leghorn,Tweety was not given a completecharacter arc,instead embodying the "innocent child" role offsetting the motives of his superior Sylvester and their guardian figure.
Creation by Bob Clampett
editBob Clampettcreated the character that would become Tweety in the 1942 shortA Tale of Two Kitties,pitting him against two hungry cats namedBabbit and Catstello(based on the famous comediansAbbott and Costello).[10]On the original model sheet, Tweety was named Orson, which was also the name of a bird character from an earlier Clampett cartoonWacky Blackout.[11]
Tweety was created not as a domestic canary, but as a generic (and wild) baby bird in an outdoor nest: naked (pink), jowly, and also far more aggressive and saucy, as opposed to the later, better-known version of him as a less hot-tempered (but still somewhat ornery) yellow canary. In the documentaryBugs Bunny: Superstar,animator Clampett stated that Tweety had been based "on my own naked baby picture."[12]Clampett did two more shorts with the "naked genius", as aJimmy Durante-ish cat once called him inA Gruesome Twosome.The second Tweety short,Birdy and the Beast,finally bestowed the baby bird with his new name, and gave him his blue eyes.
Many ofMel Blanc's characters are known for speech impediments. One of Tweety's most noticeable is that /s/, /k/, and /g/ are changed to /t/, /d/, or (final s) /θ/; for example, "pussy cat" comes out as "putty tat", later rendered "puddy tat", "Granny" comes out as "Dwanny" and "sweetie pie" comes out as "tweetie pie" (a phonological pattern referred to as 'fronting'), hence his name. He also has trouble withliquid consonants:as withElmer Fudd,/l/ and /r/ come out as /w/. InCanary RowandPutty Tat Trouble,he begins the cartoon by singing a song about himself, "I'm a tweet wittow biwd in a diwded tage; Tweety'th my name but I don't know my age, I don't have to wuwy and dat is dat; I'm tafe in hewe fwom dat ol' putty tat." (Translation: "I'm a sweet little bird in a gilded cage..." ) Aside from this speech impediment, Tweety's voice is that ofBugs Bunny,one speed up (ifThe Old Grey Hare,which depicts Bugs as an infant, is any indication of that); the only difference is that Bugs does not have trouble pronouncing /s/, /k/ and /g/ as mentioned above.
Freleng takes over
editClampett began work on a short that would pit Tweety against a then-unnamed, lisping black and white cat created byFriz Frelengin 1946. However, Clampett left the studio before going into full production on the short (which had a storyboard produced, where it was titled "Fat Rat and the Stupid Cat"[13]), however Freleng would use Tweety in his own separate project. Freleng toned Tweety down and gave him a cuter appearance, resulting in his long-lashed blue-pupil eyes and yellow feathers. Clampett mentions inBugs Bunny: Superstarthat the feathers were added to satisfy censors who objected to the naked bird. The first short to team Tweety and the cat, later namedSylvester,was 1947'sTweetie Pie,which won Warner Bros. its firstAcademy Award for Best Short Subject.[14]
Sylvester and Tweety proved to be one of the most notable pairings in animation history. Most of their cartoons followed a standard formula:
- Sylvester wants to catch and eat Tweety, but some major obstacle stands in his way – usually Granny or her bulldogHector(or occasionally, numerous bulldogs, or another cat who also wants to catch and eat Tweety).
- Tweety says his signature lines "I tawt I taw a puddy tat!" and "I did! I did taw a puddy tat!" (Originally, like inA Tale of Two Kitties,it was "I did! I taw a putty tat!", but the extra "did" got inserted, starting with Freleng's first cartoon, somehow). In later cartoons, such asHome, Tweet Home,Tweety says "I did! I did! I did taw a puddy tat!"
- Sylvester spends the entire film using progressively more elaborate schemes or devices to catch Tweety, similar toWile E. Coyotein his ongoing efforts to catch theRoad Runner,Tom's attempts to catchJerry,and theAardvark's attempts to catch theAnt.Of course, each of his tricks fail, either due to their flaws or, more often than not, because of intervention by eitherHector the Bulldogor an indignant Granny, or after Tweety steers the enemy toward them or another device (such as off the ledge of a tall building or in front of an oncoming train).
In a few of the cartoons, Sylvester does manage to briefly eat Tweety up with a gulp. However, either Granny or another character makes him spit Tweety out right away. In the 1952 Christmas-themed shortGift Wrapped,Sylvester was also briefly eaten by Hector the Bulldog, and forced by Granny to spit him out; as punishment, both Sylvester and Hector were tied up with their mouths gagged shut.
In 1951, Mel Blanc (withBilly May's orchestra) had a hit single with "I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat",a song performed in character by Tweety and featuring Sylvester. In the lyrics Sylvester sings" I'd like to eat that Thweetie Pie when he leaves his cage ", implying that Tweety's name is actually Sweetie Pie. Later the name" Sweetie Pie "was applied to the young, pink female canary in theTiny Toon Adventuresanimated TV series of the early 1990s.
From 1945 until the original Warner Bros. Cartoons studio closed, Freleng had almost exclusive use of Tweety at the Warner cartoon studio (much likeYosemite Sam), with the exception of a brief cameo inNo Barkingin 1954, directed by Chuck Jones (that year, Freleng usedPepé Le Pew,a Jones character, for the only time in his career and the only time in a Tweety short,Dog Pounded).
Later appearances
editTweety had a cameo role inWho Framed Roger Rabbit,makingEddie Valiant(Bob Hoskins) fall from aflag poleby playing "This Little Piggy"with Valiant's fingers and releasing his grip. The scene is essentially a re-creation of a gag fromA Tale of Two Kitties,with Valiant replacing Catstello as Tweety's victim. This was the last timeMel Blancvoiced Tweety.
During the 1990s, Tweety also starred in the animated TV seriesThe Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries,[14]in which Granny ran a detective agency with the assistance of Tweety,Sylvesterand Hector. In the series, Tweety has the starring role and is voiced byJoe Alaskey.The storyline carries into the 2000 direct-to-video feature-length animated filmTweety's High-Flying Adventure,where Joe Alaskey reprises his role. Tweety's prototype, Orson, also made an appearance in the series.
Tweety also appears inTiny Toon Adventuresas the mentor of Sweetie Pie, and one of the faculty at Acme Looniversity. He was voiced byJeff Bergmanfor most of his appearances andBob Bergenin “Animaniacs”.
In the 1995 cartoon shortCarrotblanca,a parody/homage toCasablanca,Tweety appeared as "Usmarte", a parody of the character Ugarte played byPeter Lorrein the original film. In several sequences, Tweety was speaking and laughing in character like Peter Lorre. He also does theLooney Tunesending instead ofPorky PigorBugs Bunny.This is also notable for being a rare instance where Tweety plays a villain character. Bob Bergen voices the role again.
In 1996, Tweety (voiced by Bob Bergen again) appeared in the feature film,Space Jam,with legendary basketball playerMichael Jordan.
In 2001, a younger version of Tweety appeared onBaby Looney Tunes,thus coming full circle from his earliest appearances. Here he was voiced bySam Vincent.
In 2011, Tweety was featured, with hisLooney Tunesco-stars, inCartoon Network's seriesThe Looney Tunes Show.[15]He is voiced byJeff Bergman.He appeared in the episode "Ridiculous Journey", where he and Sylvester work together with Taz to get back home to Granny andBugs Bunny.He had been revealed to have fought in World War II alongside a young Granny. Sylvester also asked him how old he was, to which Tweety replied, "I'll never tell." Sylvester then asked if Tweety would at least tell him if he (Tweety) was a boy or a girl. Tweety whispered into his ear and Sylvester had a surprised expression and said "Huh, I was wrong."
Tweety has recently appeared as a major character inNew Looney TunesandLooney Tunes Cartoons,where his designs are mostly based on his Freleng heyday with a few Bob Clampett elements to make him more suited for 1942–1944, and his personality reverts him to being more violent and abusive in nature while being toned down to retain his cute facade. He was voiced again by Bob Bergen.Looney Tunes Cartoonsis the second time thatEric Bauzavoices Tweety.
On February 17, 2021, it was announced Tweety would star inTweety Mysterieswhich would have been similar toThe Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries.[16]The series would have been a live-action/animated hybrid aimed towards girls and would have aired onCartoon Network.[17][18]However, the series never got off the ground as Cartoon Network announced all live-action productions were scrapped in December 2022.[19]
Tweety starred in a direct-to-video filmKing Tweetywhich was released on June 14, 2022.[20][21]Eric Bauza reprised the role.
Tweety appears in the preschool seriesBugs Bunny Builderswhich aired as part ofCartoonitoonCartoon NetworkandHBO Maxon July 25, 2022.[22][23]In the series, similar toBaby Looney Tunesand the finale ofThe Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries,he is friends with Sylvester.Eric Bauzareprised his role fromLooney Tunes Cartoons.
