Really Surprised!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Edgar Allan Pooh
. . . leaves Sylvester coveting the Giant's humongous canary ("Acres and acres of Tweety Bird," as Sylvester exaggerates). While Sylvester is able to carry this Ginormous Tweety, he cannot chomp him down in one bite (as he's been able to do with hundreds of earlier Tweeties during this series). Since Sylvester never gets so much as a nibble of Tweetzilla, it's impossible to know exactly what line of attack he might have in mind for a potential Super Canary Fest. Though most guys in a similar predicament would recruit their buddies to help deal with such an unexpected (if unwieldy) bird bonanza, Sylvester is depicted as a "loner" cat throughout his Tweety-stalking career. When other felines appear, he sees them mostly as rivals for his meat supply--not to be trusted. Therefore, Sylvester never calls in any reinforcements during TWEETY AND THE BEANSTALK. Consequently, Sylvester is butt-dialed down to China as soon as he chops down the beanstalk (with the Giant's rear end looming above him). Fortunately, he "pops down" next to an Asian Tweety, meaning that he's in store for something like Gen. Tsao's chicken.

Maybe I am in the minority here, but I thought this Tweety-Sylvester cartoon was terrific. It was very inventive and reminded of a good Roadrunner cartoon. Here, Sylvester uses his wits to come up with some really good plans to get Tweety but - like the coyote who never could get the Roadrunner - always comes up short.That's the angle of the story, too: "short." Sylvester climbs Jack's giant beanstalk and winds up somewhere way up in the clouds in a magic kingdom and more specifically, in a huge castle where everything is gigantic compared to him. Tweety is there and it is he who incorporates some of the words in the subject head here when he says, "I tawt I saw a little itty, bitty puddytat!" The rest of the cartoon is Sylvester coming up with ingenious plans to get the giant (to him) bird and then, at the end, battling the human "Giant."Good stuff and very clever material.

As far as I'm concerned, any Sylvester-Tweety pairing is a good one. So, I still like "Tweety and the Beanstalk", even though it's far from the best Sylvester-Tweety pairing. It portrays Jack's mother throwing the beans under Sylvester's box, after which a beanstalk grows under it and takes Sylvester up to the giant's kingdom; this was I assume the only time that Tweety was twice Sylvester's size.If this cartoon has any real weakness, it's that we don't get to see any of Tweety's usual nasty tricks to fend off Sylvester. Then again, since Tweety is bigger than Sylvester here, they didn't really need to do that. "TATB" actually gets really neat once we meet the giant. But Sylvester and Tweety's best pairing in 1957 was "Birds Anonymous", and the best Looney Tunes spin on "Jack and the Beanstalk" was "Beanstalk Bunny", in which Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck climb the beanstalk up to a land where Elmer Fudd is the giant.

For the most part this is fairly typical Sylvester and Tweety material except that there's "acres and acres of giant tweetybird". While not as clever as Bugs and Daffy in "Beanstalk Bunny", when Sylvester's attempts to get Tweety finally arouse the giant, he enters with one of my all-time favorite lines: "fee fi fo fat, I tought I taw a puddy tat".
