Tree Cornered Tweety Trailers

Sylvester Cat chases Tweety Bird while Tweety narrates. The chase takes them out of the city to the country, straight into a mine field, down a ski slope, and to the middle of a wooden bridge, where Sylvster stupidly saws a hole, with himself in its center.

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

. . . and which constitutes a yellow-feathered Russian Sleeper Cell, as you view TREE CORNERED TWEETY. As Warner Bros. warned throughout the 1950s, particularly through their Animated Shorts Seers division (aka, The Looney Tuners), Red Commie KGB operatives ran the then on-going "Witch Hunts" to purge Progressives, Humanitarians, and Union Label folks from their ranks, since Communism always has been solely about The Money for a corrupt class of Fat Cat One Per Centers at the top. At one point during TREE CORNERED TWEETY, Warner Bros. picks up the warning of U.S. Four-Star General President "I Like Ike" about the infamous Military Industrial Complex, showing KGB saboteur Tweety Bird having the run of America's self-billed "Arsenal of Democracy," as he mocks that concept by turning these weapons upon Union Label Feline Sylvester. As the representative here of the merged Corrupt Corporate\Communist Class, Tweety is pictured hiking toward town to loot the civic larders of an emergency food supply while shod in a pair of silver spoons! As with most of Warner's pairings of Tweety with Sylvester, TREE CORNERED TWEETY finds Sylvester representing we True Blue Patriotic Normal Average Americans, with Tweety flying high and lording it over Sylvester (that is, us), when he's not wasting our precious civic resources by smacking pies into our faces!

Fun Sylvester and Tweety short directed by Friz Freleng and done in the style of Dragnet with Tweety narrating the action. Tweety as Jack Webb -- you gotta admit that's pretty adorable. Every line from Tweety in this is gold. The plot's as basic as they come with Sylvester once again trying to capture Tweety. More often than not in these shorts, I find myself rooting for Sylvester because he provides most of the laughs. But this time I'm on Team Tweety. Great voice work from Mel Blanc. Lively music from Milt Franklyn. Beautiful animation with rich, vivid colors. It's a funny and clever cartoon with ample doses of cute. Not for all tastes but I like it.

As someone who enjoys the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons more than most, Tree Cornered Tweety is not them at their best but is still a reasonable way to pass the time. At no point is it terrible, and the best parts are great, but the cartoon is a little hit-and-miss.Tweety's narration was entertaining to start with, who can't love his description of Sylvester, but it quickly becomes rather repetitive, sure it is structurally like a diary and was always intended to be but it was like hearing somebody reading a list which got a little tiresome. The story is well paced and Sylvester's antics keeps one interested but didn't feel all that fresh and like the narration got very episodic. Tree Cornered is mostly amusing stuff but a couple of the gags(i.e. the unseen woman throwing the plates, Sylvester and Tweety in the mountain blizzard) didn't quite work as well as they could have done because they had been done a number of times that they came over as predictable.Tree Cornered Tweety is very nicely animated however, it's charmingly if simply drawn, the backgrounds don't look scrappy or simplistic and it's vibrant in colour. If you love Fritz Freleng's animation style you'll have no problem with the animation here. Milt Franklyn's music is beautifully orchestrated and is very characterful, doing a great job enhancing the action. Pretty much all of the humour are in the gags and Sylvester's antics, and the gags on the whole are fine. The light-wires, pie and magnet gags fared especially well, they were funny stuff and the ending while not hugely surprising was even funnier. I didn't have a problem with Tweety, he's cute enough and has shades of his earlier anarchic personality but Sylvester is much funnier and much more memorable here(not a surprise as he has always been the more interesting and entertaining character), his antics and facial expressions are incredibly funny and endearing and it's difficult to not feel sorry for him. Mel Blanc does a great job with the voice-work, the final line actually just about managed to work thanks to his line delivery and his Tweety narration voice is spot-on. It did feel odd that Sylvester never spoke though.In conclusion, reasonable but there's better in the series. 7/10 Bethany Cox

I think next to "Hyde and Go Tweet" this is about my favorite Sylvester and Tweety cartoon. I've never seen "Dragnet," but I really liked the concept with Tweety doing a Joe Friday-like narration. I especially like the scene where Sylvester tries to release Tweety from the machine, but instead gets hit with a pie. This one was really great.
