It Happened One Night Before Christmas
Release date:
1995-12-16
Plot:
Granny arrives in Bedspread Falls to help her forgetful brother, Willie Daily, recover an envelope containing $8,000 that he lost on Christmas Eve. With the help of Tweety, Sylvester, Hector, and the mice Hubie and Bertie, they retrace Willie's steps and uncover that the money was stolen by the banker Freddy T. Totter. Name and role:
Hubie and Bertie are Willie's pet companions, yes, the classic mischievous duo, and they team up with Tweety to keep Sylvester's holiday appetite in check, which is somehow even more outrageous than usual. A well-placed brick hurled straight into Sylvester's mouth definitely makes the job a whole lot easier.

Plot:
Basketball legend Michael Jordan teams up with Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes to win a wild basketball game against alien villains called the Monstars. The aliens stole NBA players' talents, so it's up to Jordan and the Tunes to slam, jam, and bring the chaos. It's sports meets cartoons in the most 90s crossover ever.
Name and role:
In the film, the two little mice Hubie & Bertie take over for the sleeping announcer, take a deep breath, and suddenly switch to the deep, professional voice of Steve Kehela. Even though they're barely shown again, they provide commentary for the entire game.
Trivia and other appearances:
The terrible twosome debuted in The Aristo-Cat (1943), spent years tormenting Claude the Cat and Sylvester in various shorts, and kept their careers going strong in shows like Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, Duck Dodgers, and the modern Looney Tunes series still running today.

Name and role:
Hubie & Bertie have a tiny role in this tale, entirely centered on messing with Sylvester aboard a cruise ship. Short, sharp, and squeaky.
