filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . "too topical." The saving grace in this regard for Warner Bros.' always prophetic Animated Shorts Seers division, of course, is that what might have been merely amusing upon its original release date adds a double whammy to its interest quotient when it suddenly becomes topical (thanks to the Warner prophets' clairvoyance) a few years (or decades) down the timeline. TWEET ZOO is a good example of this. Exactly WHAT are the lions, tigers, and bears meant to represent, 1950s viewers may have asked themselves. Few would have matched the croc-bitten lion with Detroit's NFL world champions of the "Beatnik Decade." However, as the ONLY original league franchise NEVER to have played in the Super Bowl (and the first squad to finish a season 0 - 16), it's an easy connection to appreciate in this Our 21st Century. What about the Bruins and Bengals serially swallowing up Sylvester Cat? Can Warner be accused of mixing its sports metaphors? I think not. It's obvious to any experienced reader of Warner's tea leaves that Sylvester is standing in for the Detroit Tigers during TWEET ZOO. The nine zoo animals he meets here represent the first three series of home games on the Tigers' 2018 MLB slate. The five major injuries he suffers denote the quintet of losses Detroit racks up in the half dozen games actually played, offset by one lonely "W." Sylvester's lingering depression and self-disgust as TWEET ZOO concludes is the uncannily accurate Looney Tuner prognosticators' way of predicting that Detroit will eclipse its 2003 American League record of 119 losses in a single season by suffering a calamitous 135 defeats (against just 27 hollow "victories") this year. What about all of Sylvester's drenching dunks in the alligator lagoon during TWEET ZOO, some viewers are bound to ask. As any veteran Warnologist knows, this is an allusion to the SIX (that's right, count them up: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!) rainouts declared by the 2018 woeful Detroit baseball kitties to postpone the inevitable set-backs during their initial NINE scheduled no-contests.
Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) Tweety & Sylvester are one of my favorite Looney Tunes characters. This is also the first Tweety & Sylvester cartoon I had ever reviewed, and this cartoon is one of my favorites from the bird-and-cat duo. Another reason I love this cartoon is because I love the zoo, and in this cartoon Tweety is a zoo bird, until Sylvester opened the door to his cage and chases him.I love the design on the zoo animals and Sylvester's fearful jabbering before: "Alligators!" that was really funny. Another line I love is Tweety's: "Ooh! You're a glutton, Mr. Elephant!" after being sucked up by the elephant's trunk, and spitted out. I know I say this a few times, but I'm sorry to said that I have nothing else to say about this cartoon other than the animation is perfect, and I thought it's another favorite.
Chip_douglas A bored Zookeeper introduces us to the pride specimens at the City Zoo. Most of these animals appear to be starving and easily agitated. First up is a rhino who appears to have a bandaged horn. This is not surprising, judging by the violence nature of this Zoo. After all, there are Cavemen clubs lying around everywhere. Sylvester gets in with a group of tourists to witness the rare and only specimen of the Tweety Bird (in `Loony Tunes: Back in Action' Tweety finally got to find his roots in Africa). After being chased out of his cage, Tweety immediately forgets being part of the exhibition and treats himself to a nice day out. He even buys a big bag of peanuts to share with Big Ole' Mister Eddaphant. Unlike Bugs and Daffy, who see eye to eye with Elmer and tower over Yosemite Sam, Sylvester and Tweety are always drawn in the right proportions to humans and other animals. Sylvester looks positively tiny compared to Terry and Cedric the Bengal Tigers (one of whom swallows him whole), and also has to survive encounters with a lion, a bear and a bunch of alligators. All of this leads him to make a life changing decision.7 out of 10
bob the moo Sylvester is part of a guided tour of the zoo until his tour guide points out the cage holding the one and only Tweety Bird in existence. As his group moves on, Sylvester decides it's time to eat and tries to catch the bird. However, Tweety escapes into the rest of the zoo, making it hard for Sylvester to get him without the other animals getting in the way.Although Tweety Pie cartoons can often be quite weak due to the fact that Tweety is not really a good character - just a thing to be hunted. Here however the film covers that inherent weakness with good material and plenty of nice sequences. The plot is basically a chance for Sylvester to get messed up by various wild animals and, as such, it works! The various alligators, bears, lions and so on all give him what for and most of the sequences are very funny.Tweety has very little to really do, other than be near an animal for Sylvester to annoy. Sylvester however, does exceptionally well in the lead role and he carries the majority of the laughs and sequences. The various zoo animals have enough character to be more than just animation - the lion and bear are the strongest!Overall this is a very funny Tweety Pie cartoon - probably better than his usual fare. The material is good and consistently funny and Sylvester does well in the lead role to make the most of his sequences, while Tweety just hangs around.
