I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat
Release date:
2011-11-18
Plot:
The short takes place in Granny's apartment, where Tweety sings his daily routine while Sylvester tries, and spectacularly fails, to catch him. The classic and chaotic gags between the two play out in full force, culminating with Granny stepping in to put an end to Sylvester's mischief.
Name and role:
This is generally described as Sylvester and Tweety's first fully 3D computer-animated outing. Both characters are animated directly around Mel Blanc's archival vocals from the original Capitol Records recording, so they're effectively performing their own vintage hit on screen: Tweety as the sweet but smug little star, Sylvester as the eternally humiliated predator whose every failed lunge hits exactly on the beat.
Trivia and other appearances:
The song "I Tawt I Taw A Puddy-Tat" was originally recorded by Mel Blanc in 1950, reached No. 9 on the Billboard pop chart in early 1951 and reportedly sold over two million copies. This short premiered with Happy Feet Two and later turned up as a bonus on that film's DVD/Blu-ray and on Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run, and it forms a loose pair with Daffy's Rhapsody (2012)

Name and role:
The entire short is brought to life by the iconic voice of Mel Blanc, who once again lends his voice to Sylvester through archival recordings. Granny, meanwhile, sleeps through almost the whole short, waking up only at the very end to wrap things up and accompany the two singing animals on the piano. She's voiced by June Foray, in what would be her final theatrical appearance before her passing in 2017.
Trivia and other appearances:
A similar animation experiment using vintage Mel Blanc recordings was Daffy's Rhapsody from 2012.
