    Is this Sylvester's eternal doom?!

    While most of the Sylvester/Tweety pairings would feature just one bulldog (I seem to recall that his name is Hector) to counter Sylvester's actions, "Ain't She Tweet" features a whole garden of dogs. When Granny brings Tweety home from the pet store* - where Sylvester had already tried to go after him but had to abort his plan - Sylvester can't seem to get past the canine ocean. Why must he always suffer so?! Obviously, his mishaps form part of the cartoon's plot line, sort of like what befalls Wile E. Coyote when he tries to trap Road Runner. But no matter how you look at it, this is still a funny cartoon. Little more than a way to pass time, but worth your while.

    *I noticed that the shop next to the pet store said I. Wyner. No doubt that was an in-joke referring to background artist Irv Wyner.

    Ain't She Tweet is one of the funniest of the cartoons featuring Sylvester and Tweety

    This is one among several of Tweety and Sylvester (or Sylvester and Tweety) cartoons I remember watching and enjoying as a kid growing up in the '70s watching either on weekday afternoons after school or on Saturday mornings. In this one, the cat is pursuing the bird at first a pet shop, then in the house of Granny after she buys Tweety. But, first, Sylvester has to deal with a yard full of bulldogs! Director Friz Freleng fills the narrative with lots of sure-fire gags involving the cat's encounters with those bulldogs that just won't let him be! This is one of the funniest ones that I just rewatched on a Scandanavian Airlines flight recently. So, yes, that's a high recommendation of Ain't She Tweet.

    Bulldog bonanza

    Sylvester cat is adamant about catching and eating Tweety Bird, but there's a catch Tweety has been bought by Granny who has countless vicious bulldogs in her fenced yard. The usual hijinx ensue. This is good only because of Sylevester as I detest that everything about that damned speech impediment singing Tweety bird and the Granny. This animated short can be seen on Disc 3 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2 and also features an optional commentary by Greg Ford that is infinitely better than the actual cartoon that it comments on. I'm really getting tired of having to review Tweety cartoons.

    Tweety cartoon

    Sylvester the Cat watches Tweety Bird in the window of a pet shop. Tweety gets sold and delivered to Granny. Granny has a pack of wildly excited dogs in her yard. It is a near impossible task especially with Tweety causing Sylvester problems.

    This is a lovely short for Tweety, Sylvester, and Granny. The dogs are just a mass of bodies. This is fine for the most part. The pet store part isn't much and probably adds little to the short. Maybe this should be split into two shorts. Granny can own the pet shop in one while the other can set it all at Granny's home. In that way, the stories can be expanded especially at the pet shop.

    Brutal fun

    Sylvester never gets a break in this cartoon. The repeated attempts are so clever, and they should work if not for Tweety's quick thinking and unforgiving nature.

    Another winner from Fritz Freleng.
