Tweety Bird

Tweety Bird (Also Known As "Tweety Pie" or simply "Tweety") is a well-known bird in the Looney Tunes continuity.

Origin
Tweety made his first appearance in 1942 in a cartoon entitled "A Tale Of Two Kitties," directed by Bob Clampett, but never met Sylvester The Cat until five years later. The 1947 cartoonTweetie 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 naïve, he is clever enough to constantly outsmart Sylvester The Cat. He is a yellow canary that has a somewhat large head. His temper was at first large, and Twaterd was often angry. As his character progressed, he became more calmer. In A Tale Of Two Kitties, Tweety&apos;s speech is strange, as he mispronounces many words, such as "pussy cat" (which he says as "puddy tat"). Tweety&apos;s name was originally Orson, but this was soon changed, as his current name was already presented in his second cartoon, Birdy &amp; The Beast (1944). Tweety had initially been portrayed simply as a (wild) birdling whose species had not yet been specified, and was shown to reside in an outdoor nest high in a tree. After those several portrayals, it was only till 1947 when he had his first domestic role and his first human interaction in Tweetie Pie, of which would become the most noted portrayal of the character (However even then, he would still be shown residing in an outdoor nest in later shorts). Tweety lives in a birdcage located in Granny&apos;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 and Tom &amp; Jerry. Sylvester is constantly trying to eat Tweety, and the yellow canary, in turn, 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 Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back In Action. He also starred in the 2000 direct-to-video film Tweety&apos;s High-Flying Adventure. He also appears as a "baby" version of himself in the television series Baby Looney Tunes. He&apos;s also in many Six Flags theme parks.
