TWEETY BIRD HISTORY
Tweety Bird was created by Warner Brothers animation artist, Bob Clampett in 1942. Clampett was inspired by an embarrassing baby photo of himself and by his longstanding fascination with baby birds. Early model sheets indicated Tweety Bird's original name was "Orson". In Tweety Bird's first cartoon, "A Tale of Two Kitties", Tweety tantalized two cats, Babbitt and Catstello. The cartoon was a spoof on the popular comedy team, "Abbot and Costello". Furthermore, Tweety Bird, the cute little canary with the big head, was originally pink. After censors complained that the bird looked naked because he had no feathers, Tweety Bird's color was changed to yellow.Tweety Bird began his career independent of Sylvester the Cat, who was chasing birds and mice in his own cartoons under the direction of Friz Freleng. Clampett left Warner Brothers in 1947 with a fourth Tweety Bird cartoon in the early stages of production. Freleng wanted to have Sylvester the Cat pursue Tweety Bird, instead of a woodpecker used in an earlier Sylvester cartoon. General Producer, Eddie Seltzer, reportedly didn't like the idea and ordered Freleng not to pair Sylvester with Tweety, but to instead use the woodpecker again. A heated argument took place and ended with Freleng putting his drafting pencil in Selter's hand and saying, "If you think you know so much, you should be doing it." Freleng walked out of the studio with every intention of resigning from Warner Brothers the next day. Seltzer telephoned Freleng at home that evening and said, "Okay, do it your way." And so it came to be that Freleng directed the first cartoon film that Tweety Bird appeared with Sylvester, as the pet of an elderly woman named Granny. The cartoon was titled "Tweetie Pie", and became such a big hit that it won Freleng his first Oscar. The Oscar was accepted by Seltzer, who then kept the Oscar as his own. This Oscar also happened to be the first Warner Brothers cartoon to win an Oscar! The Tweety and Sylvester team enjoyed a 15 year run in animated features, one of the most successful cartoon series in history.
Tweety Bird's original personality developed by Clampett was that of a wild, aggressive bird who showed no mercy for his aggressors. Director Freleng and story writer, Warren Foster, decided to tame the Tweety Bird's personality. By 1950, Tweety Bird had the charm and innocence that he is known for today.
Originally pink, Tweety was changed to yellow, after censors complained. Clampett did some of the early preliminary work on "Tweetie Pie" before turning the project over to Friz Freleng, who steered it to an Oscar-winning cartoon. The cartoon has caused some confusion in the name of the character. Sometimes the character is referred to as Tweety, but other times the character is referred to as Tweetie Pie, muddying the situation. In "Tree Cornered Tweety", Tweety appears in an Automat window labeled Tweety Pie, right next to the Lemon Pie. Tweety makes a cameo in "No Barking," saying his catch-phrase "I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat." Putty Tat has also been spelled Puddy Tat, which is now the officially endorsed spelling. Mel Blanc recorded a hit song "I Taut I Taw a Puddy-Tat" (words and music by Alan Livingston, Billy May and Warren Foster) in 1950.
Tweety Bird's voice was originally done by Mel Blanc, who also recorded Tweety Bird's hit song, "I Tawt I Taw a Puddy-Tat" in 1950. The song's words and music were done by Alan Livingston, Billy May and Warren Foster. Joe Alaskey now does the voice the voice of Tweety Bird.
Tweety and Sylvester continue entertain and capture the hearts of old and young alike. The original Tweety & Sylvester series is even more popular now than when it was originally released. The pair also continues to be seen on "The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries", a show that premiered in 1995. In 1998, the U.S. Postal Service issued a "Sylvester and Tweety" 32-cent commemorative stamp. The stamp was the top selling stamp for 1998.
Tweety Bird merchandise is available in almost every category, including Tweety Bird clothing for both adults and children, Tweety Bird videos, Tweety Bird household items (dinnerware sets, bathroom towels & accessories, bedding, clocks), Tweety Bird collectibles, Tweety Bird toys and games, Tweety Bird school supplies (backpacks, lunchboxes), Tweety Bird party supplies, Tweety Bird watches, and much more!
Tweety Cartoon Characters!!
TWEETY(voiced by Joe Alaskey)
Tweety, an innocent and lovable yellow canary, is once again teamed with his adoring caretaker, dear ol' Granny.
As always, Tweety is the center of Granny's world. Unfortunately, Tweety's greatest adversary, Sylvester, would like to put an end to Tweety's world -- with one scrumptious bite.
In spite of it all, Tweety remains Granny's most adored and favored pet as well as her crimefighting lucky charm.
Tweety always remains calm in the face of danger and is able to keep Sylvester at arms length outsmarting the foxy feline time after time.
Tweety exudes trustworthy confidence and his feathers are never ruffled.
He's the smartest little canary there is and often takes pity on "the poor, poor puddy tat."
SYLVESTER
SYLVESTER(voiced by Joe Alaskey)
Sylvester, one of the world's most famous felines, is on the prowl in all new adventures.
The crafty and cunning classic Warner Bros. cat continues his lifetime pursuit of Granny's "juicy" yellow canary...the legendary Tweety Bird...and his lifetime annoyance, Granny's bullish bulldog, Hector.
GRANNY
GRANNY(voiced by June Foray)
Granny is the eccentric, world-renowned, yet somewhat forgetful, detective who marches to the beat of her own drum.
Unbelievably, she is always able to crack a case with amazing last-minute investigative work.
In her golden years, Granny has developed a true passion for adventure.
Whether it's rollerblading, hang-gliding or bungee jumping, Granny lives life to the fullest.
She journeys everywhere on earth solving impossible crimes with her indomitable spirit and keen sense of justice.
Granny is joined by her loyal companion Tweety Bird (also an ace crime sleuth), Sylvester, the fast-talking feline who can't wait to swallow the little yellow canary, and Hector, a burly bulldog who's always looking out for dear ol' Granny.
HECTOR THE BULLDOG
HECTOR THE BULLDOG(voiced by Frank Welker)
This burly canine, Hector, regards himself as Granny's heroic hound.
He has a heart of gold, amazing brute strength and a faithful disposition.
But his biggest obstacle is his mind. It's a real liability and it causes him tremendous anxiety when he really has to think.
He is a terrible decision-maker and is often taken advantage of by the sly feline, Sylvester. Sylvester is well aware of Hector's limitations and will con the poor pup every chance he gets.
Conversely, Hector knows Sylvester can't stand to do something he doesn't want to, therefore, the loveable "lapdog" will happily shove the reluctant feline across the floor, 'volunteering' him for Granny's latest menial task -- which Sylvester will probably trick the dog into actually performing later.
Together this cat and dog serve as each other's greatest challenge.
