Tweet Tweet Tweety is a 1950 animated cartoon released by Warner Bros. on December 15, 1951. starring Tweety Bird and directed by Friz Freleng. Once again, Tweety must stay one step ahead of Sylvester the Cat, who is once again in hot pursuit of Tweety, just so that he can eat him for his own personal snack. It provides an anomaly in the Sylvester & Tweety pairings: In this one, Tweety provides almost all the dialogue, and then mainly to the audience. Both Tweety and Sylvester's voices are performed by Mel Blanc and the story was written by Warren Foster.

Plot
The film begins with a shot of the gate to the National Forest (which could very well be, which then pans to the right to an adjoining trailer park/campground. The

Sylvester then pops his head out of the bush in the garden of the nearby human dwelling, for he has a fresh plan to obtain Tweety Bird. His plan's nature soon becomes evident, as he begins to vociferously construct a trampoline next to the pole (from which the barbed wire has been removed, except for about the last four or five feet from the top of Tweety's pole). When Sylvester finishes, he hops onto his new-fangled contraption, jumping higher and higher every time. Tweety awakes with a start and says his catch phrase, “I tawt I taw a putty tat!” Then, simply to ensure he’s actually dealing with a predator, the little bird walks to his window, but no, he has not been dreaming; Sylvester's face is there. A terrified Tweety runs to a glass storage compartment reading "IN CASE OF PUTTY TAT BREAK GLASS." Tweety does so, with the aid of a small wooden hammer. He rushes back to his window and sprays Sylvester with water and hits him on the head with first a boxing glove, then another hammer, this one he uses with disproportionate strength to his size. However, Sylvester is determined not to permit his very hopefully soon-to-be prey to best him; he therefore dons a dive helmet to protect himself from getting sprayed any more. But Tweety knows more than just those tricks: he slips a lit dynamite stick into Sylvester's helmet so the TNT explodes on contact with the ground.

Later, Sylvester is shown sawing Tweety's pole down. Tweety, wearing a blue porter's cap, states that the "puddy tat's after me again! He mad at me! I must flee for me widdle life!" This he does by running to the back of his house, where awaits a clothespin and a clothesline; Tweety grabs the clothespin and pushes off hard from his house, only to find out that his clothesline is attached to Sylvester's front tooth, making him have to stop short of the end. Expecting Tweety to ride straight to the fate he had planned for him, Sylvester is stunned when he realizes Tweety is gone. He is even more shocked when he realizes Tweety has lit a match next to a "FRIZ-brand" rocket (an obvious reference to director Friz Freleng). The rocket is attached to the very clothesline Tweety nearly rode right down to Sylvester on, thus threatening to launch the cat into space. Dismayed, Sylvester actually spits his jaws and teeth out. His nose falls over his face as a result.

There is barbed wire on the pole and a damaged Sylvester.

Sylvester's next attempt to get Tweety involves painting a female Tweety Bird on one of his fingers and constructing his own nest and a bonnet exactly the right size for his finger. As predicted, Tweety rushes outside and sees Sylvester's decoy. Amazed, Tweety flies straight into Sylvester's nest, whereupon the cat claps his other front paw over his own decoy, climbs down and out of his hiding place and prepares to enjoy his meal. However, Tweety tries to save his "widdle chickadee". But when he pulls at Sylvester's fake female Tweety Bird and discovers a feline claw (belonging to Sylvester, who had forgotten to retract his claws) protruding from its "head", he realizes how negligent he was. But Tweety doesn't hesitate to manoeuvre himself out of the trap he nearly fell right into: he switches his headwear with the decoy's. Sylvester then uncovers his nest to bite into the Tweety Bird wearing the blue hat &mdash; which happens to be his finger, as the real Tweety flutters upwards and out of harm's way. Sylvester screams in pain, but quickly recovers and chases Tweety to a badminton court.

Tweety jumps into the can of badminton birds; Sylvester intends to grab him when he's trapped in his hiding place. However, an unnamed man comes jogging along with a badminton racquet in hand for a recreational game and seizes the birdies in the can; Sylvester now decides to take his desperation for a Tweety Bird dinner onto the court itself. He's in luck, for the man (who is rather taller and thinner than his companion) serves Tweety in for the game. (The two men are thought to be the exact same as the caricatures of Tedd Pierce, the man who wrote this cartoon storyline among others, and Michael Maltese, the longtime writer for Chuck Jones' unit and Pierce's successor in that unit, who appeared in Wackiki Wabbit.) Sylvester stands on the side watching the thin man, waiting for the right moment to knock him out with a big wooden plank from outside. This he does while watching Tweety's torment. Finally, after eight rallies by the thin man, Sylvester knocks him out and hits Tweety twice more before simply standing in one spot with his mouth open. But Tweety throws another lit stick of dynamite into Sylvester's open mouth. Sylvester rushes to the water dispenser and drinks directly out of the tap, trying to quell the TNT, but the dynamite goes off &mdash; and Sylvester ends up in the jug.

Finally, Sylvester builds a fresh house for Tweety, with a relatively minor addition, in the form of a hole in the bottom through which he sticks his own head. He places this house onto his head and climbs up Tweety's pole (all barbed wire having been finally removed). But Tweety doesn't trust this apparent lull in hostilities, and unwittingly flies into Sylvester's fresh trap, thinking that it's his own house. Finally satisfied, Sylvester discards his birdhouse, slides down the pole and walks away like a normal cat, on all fours. But he fails to realize the full extent of Tweety's cunning, as the bird actually appears in Sylvester's eye and then in his ear. In the cat's ear, Tweety dresses up as a train engineer and takes control. Confused, Sylvester soon realizes that he can't move as a cat, only as a locomotive. His legs are actually forced to move in clockwork rhythm. And then, to emphasize his desire not to be eaten by any cat, Tweety steers Sylvester right into a street called "Dead End Street," whereupon Sylvester runs headfirst into a brick wall. Tweety flutters out and comments: "You know, I lose (said as wooze) more puddy tats dat way."
