Tweety Bird

Tweety is a well-known bird in the Looney Tunes family.

Origin
Tweety made his first appearance in 1942 in a cartoon entitled "A Tale of Two Kitties," but never met Sylvester the cat until five years later. The 1947 cartoon "Tweetie Pie," put the two against each other for the first time. The cartoon, which won an Academy Award, was the start of many short cartoons to come.

Design
Tweety appears to be an innocent little bird. But although he seems naive, he is clever enough to constantly outsmart Sylvester. He is a yellow canary that has a somewhat large head. His temper was at first large, and Tweety was often angry. As his character progressed, he became more calmer. in "A Tale of Two Kitties," Tweety's speech is strange, as he mispronounces many words, such as "kitty cat" (which he says as "putty tat"). Tweety's name was originally Orson, but this was soon changed.

Tweety lives in a birdcage located in Granny's house. Granny is protective of Tweety and keeps Sylvester away from her prized bird.

Rivalry
Tweety and Sylvester are always after each other, much like Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. Sylvester is constantly trying to eat Tweety, and Tweety is usually avoiding him with ease. Although Sylvester has laid hands on Tweety on some occasions, he has never succeeded in eating the canary. Especially when Tweety is under the care of Granny, Sylvester cannot successfully outwit his opponent.

Life outside of Looney Tunes
Tweety has starred in several roles outside of Looney Tunes. He, along with several other Looney Tunes stars, has made appearances in Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back in Action. He also starred in the movie Tweety's High-Flying Adventure.
