Later appearances edit
Additionally, Tweety starred in the animated TV series The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries in the 1990s,[14] where Granny worked with Tweety, Sylvester, and Hector to run a detective agency. Joe Alaskey plays the lead character in the series, Tweety. The plot is continued in the 2000 direct-to-video animated feature Tweetys High-Flying Adventure, starring Joe Alaskey in a role reprise. Tweetys prototype, Orson, also made an appearance in the series.
Additionally, Tweety plays Sweetie Pie’s mentor in Tiny Toon Adventures and a faculty member at Acme Looniversity. For the majority of his roles, Jeff Bergman provided his voice, while Bob Bergen did so for “Animaniacs.”
Tweety made an appearance as “Usmarte” in the 1995 animated short Carrotblanca, which was a parody and homage to Casablanca. Peter Lorre’s character Ugarte was parodied in the original film. Tweety was behaving and laughing like Peter Lorre in multiple scenes. Additionally, he performs the Looney Tunes finale in place of Porky Pig or Bugs Bunny. Not only that, but this is one of the few times Tweety has portrayed a villain. Bob Bergen voices the role again.
In 1996, the iconic basketball player Michael Jordan costarred alongside Tweety (voiced once more by Bob Bergen) in the motion picture Space Jam.
A more youthful Tweety made a full circle return to Baby Looney Tunes in 2001, where he first appeared. Here he was voiced by Sam Vincent.
Along with his fellow Looney Tunes cast members, Tweety starred in The Looney Tunes Show on Cartoon Network in 2011. [15] He is voiced by Jeff Bergman. He made an appearance in the episode “Ridiculous Journey,” in which Sylvester and he team up with Taz to return to Granny and Bugs Bunny’s house. It had come to light that he had served with a young Grandmother in World War II. In response to Sylvester’s question about his age, Tweety said, “I’ll never tell.” Then Sylvester enquired as to whether Tweety would at least identify himself as a boy or a girl. Sylvester looked surprised when Tweety whispered in his ear, saying, “Oh, I was wrong.” “.
Recently, Tweety has made appearances as a prominent character in Looney Tunes Cartoons and New Looney Tunes. His designs are primarily based on his Freleng heyday, with some Bob Clampett elements to make him more appropriate for 19421944. His personality is toned down to maintain his cute facade, but it reverts to being more abusive and violent in nature. He was voiced again by Bob Bergen. Eric Bauza voices Tweety for the second time in Looney Tunes Cartoons.
It was revealed on February 17, 2021, that Tweety would be the star of Tweety Mysteries, a show that would have resembled The Sylvester [16] Targeting girls, the show would have been a live-action/animated hybrid that debuted on Cartoon Network. Nevertheless, the show never got off the ground since Cartoon Network declared in December 2022 that all live-action productions would be canceled. [19].
On June 14, 2022, Tweety starred in the direct-to-video movie King Tweety. [20][21] Eric Bauza reprised the role.
Modern art edit
Western Publications produced a comic book about Tweety and Sylvester entitled Tweety and Sylvester, first in Dell Comics Four Color series #406, 489, and 524, then in their own title from Dell Comics (#437, 19541962), then later from Gold Key Comics (#1102, 19631972).
In the DC Comics special Catwoman/Tweety and Sylvester from 2017, Tweety teamed up with Black Canary, whom he simply refers to as “bwonde wady.” [27].
Creation by Bob Clampett edit Tweety’s debut in
Rather than being a domesticated canary, Tweety was originally conceived as a generic (and wild) baby bird in an outdoor nest. He was naked (pink), jowly, and far more aggressive and saucy than the later, more well-known version of him, who was a less irritable (but still a little grumpy) yellow canary. Tweety’s creator, Clampett, said in the documentary Bugs Bunny: Superstar that the character was inspired “by my own naked baby picture.” In A Gruesome Twosome, Clampett collaborated on two more shorts with the “naked genius,” as a cat resembling Jimmy Durante once referred to him. The baby bird was finally given his new name and blue eyes in the second Tweety short, Birdy and the Beast.
Many of Mel Blancs characters are known for speech impediments. The most notable change made to /s/, /k/, and /g/ is that they become /t/, /d/, or (final s) //; for instance, “pussy cat” becomes “putty tat,” which is later rendered “puddy tat”, “Granny” becomes “Dwanny”, and “sweetie pie” becomes “tweetie pie” (a phonological pattern known as fronting), thus the name Tweety. Like Elmer Fudd, he also struggles with liquid consonants; /l/ and /r/ sound like /w/. “I’m a tweet wittow biwd in a diwded tage; Tweetyth my name but I don’t know my age, I don’t have to wuwy and that is dat; Im tafe in hewe fwom dat ol putty tat,” he sings at the opening of Canary Row and Putty Tat Trouble. “(Translation: “I live in a luxurious cage as a cute little bird. Apart from this speech impediment, Tweety’s voice is exactly like Bugs Bunny’s, with one speed increase (if The Old Grey Hare, which shows Bugs as a baby, is any indication of that); the only thing that sets Bugs apart is that Bugs does not have difficulty pronouncing the aforementioned /s/, /k/, and /g/.
