Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . in which Sylvester Cat chows down upon a Tweety or Two (there always seem to be plenty more available), this yellow feathered McNugget-sized character was more an example of product placement by McDonald's R & D team than of an animated individual on par with Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Henery Hawk, or even Michigan J. Frog. Since it took decades for McDonalds and Warner Bros. to agree on the latter's slice of the McNugget\Tweety Profit Pie, some of the Tweety Bird episodes--such as SANDY CLAWS--feature minimal interaction between Sylvester and Tweety. In fact, the bite-sized bird remains so out-of-reach here that he and Sylvester might as well be oceans apart. This, no doubt, reflected the state of negotiations between the two corporate giants as SANDY CLAWS was being drawn. Warner's animators might have been holding out for a couple of Big Macs per artist every lunch break in perpetuity, while the Golden Arches folks perhaps were offering only half-priced small fries. At any rate, Sylvester serves as so much collateral damage in SANDY CLAWS.
utgard14 Granny takes Tweety to the beach where Sylvester is trying (unsuccessfully) to catch a fish. When he spots Tweety, he naturally tries to grab him. But to get to the bird he'll have to battle the tide that keeps coming in and washing him away. Hilarious short with lots of funny gags and lines. Sylvester's failures are so much fun to watch. Love the diving suit bit. Tweety is adorable as ever. Granny steals the show once she shows up in her bathing suit. The music is lively and upbeat. Great voice work from Mel Blanc and Bea Benaderet. It's a very funny cartoon with some really great animation. The colors are beautiful and the characters, backgrounds, and action are all nicely drawn.
bob the moo When his owner goes to the beach, Tweety Pie goes along in his cage. Meanwhile, on the pier, Sylvester is having no luck fishing for his dinner. When he spots Tweety he thinks he is in for a free lunch. But when the tide comes in, cutting him off from Tweety's cage, he has to devise some way of staying dry and getting to his quarry.It is a testimony to the imagination of the creators of many of the WB cartoons that they basically repeat the tried and tested formula and gags over and over but still (mostly) manage to make them funny and avoid being overly repetitive. That is the case here – basically if you like the Tweety Pie cartoons then you'll like this. The gags are all slapstick and are nothing new, but the setting of the beach is used well to make it feel a bit new.Happily Tweety has only limited screentime and the focus of the cartoon is on Sylvester's efforts to get his bird. This works for me as I always found Tweety to be annoying yet the dastardly Sylvester is a good character who is funny and tragic in a way that only Wily E. Coyote can compete with!Overall this is nothing frighteningly new but it does use it's location well to alter the old gags and make them feel a little different and still pretty funny. Not a fan of the series but I did enjoy this one.
Robert Reynolds Nominated for an Oscar, this short makes wonderful use of Granny. Check out her "new bikini bathing-suit"! You almost feel sorry for Sylvester through much of this. He really gets ill-treated here. Given that he's a cat, it should hardly be surprising that his interest in Tweety is culinary in nature, after all. If I were him, I think I'd search for safer and easier sustenance than Tweety, though. Great fun. Highly recommended.
