Melanie Bouvet 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.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

utgard14 It's Christmas at Granny's house and everything is kind of crazy. Sylvester is trying to eat Tweety, Hector the bulldog is trying to eat Sylvester, and Granny is trying to keep the peace. One of the best Sylvester & Tweety shorts, brought to us by Friz Freleng. The animation is beautiful with really lush colors. The music is lively and fun. The always great voicework from Mel Blanc and Bea Benaderet is a treat. Wonderful characters alternate between being adorable and being hilarious. It's such a good cartoon. Plus it's Christmas-themed so it has that added bonus and even ends with everybody singing a Christmas carol (badly).

TheLittleSongbird Not their absolute best, Birds Anonymous is a contender for that, but it is one of their best and entertaining. As with almost all Sylvester/Tweety cartoons it is routine, but here it didn't matter because the gags certainly were not and, thanks to how impeccably depicted the holiday season is here(illustrated brilliantly by the very start of the cartoon with the house and the snow), there is a real sense of warm-hearted festive cheer. The animation is crisp and fluid with some of the most vibrant colours of any of the Sylvester/Tweety cartoons. The music is non-stop characterful and very lushly orchestrated, the most clever use being when Sylvester disguises himself as Geronimo. The use of arranged Christmas songs added to the festive mood. The dialogue is very razor sharp and witty, a lot of great lines here from Sylvester and Granny, Sylvester's interjection at the opening narration was priceless. The gags are standard chase and cat wants bird, dog wants cat but again like the story the clever timing and how they don't feel tired or recycled ensures that that doesn't matter in the slightest. The one with Sylvester and Tweety in their Geronimo and Hopalong Cassidy disguises was the most memorable, though Granny being hoisted up by Sylvester's crane accidentally was a funny sight as well. The characters and the chemistry between them also made Gift Wrapped enjoyable, especially Sylvester who does a great job providing the laughs by what he says, what he does but also his facial expressions play a large part. Tweety's not too cutesy but he does have a cute look and has shades of his anarchic personality that was given by him by Bob Clampett, this said Sylvester has always been the funnier and more interesting character. Granny at this time of Looney Tunes sure has a lot of spunk and she is just as funny as Sylvester, while the bulldog plays against Sylvester very well. Mel Blanc voices brilliantly in a way that very few other people could, though Daws Butler is a good narrator and you can't go wrong with Bea Benaderet as Granny(though I am more familiar with June Foray's voice-work for the character). To conclude, truly great stuff and among the best of the Sylvester/Tweety series. 10/10 Bethany Cox

phantom_tollbooth Friz Freleng's 'Gift Wrapped' is a decent entry in the lacklustre Tweety and Sylvester series. A Christmas cartoon set entirely in a house on Christmas morning, 'Gift Wrapped' adheres to some pretty standard and not terribly funny jokes involving dynamite and surprisingly effective toy guns. Such gags can be made fresh again with the right execution but in the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons Freleng always seemed content to just play them the way they'd already been played a million times before. The addition of Granny and a Bulldog to proceedings adds a little colour and Tweety is not excessively annoying this time round either but the main thing that saves 'Gift Wrapped' from being as weak as the worst Tweety and Sylvester shorts is the impeccably realised festive atmosphere which gives the cartoon a pleasingly cosy feel. I used to love seeing 'Gift Wrapped' at Christmas when I was young and that happy memory has not totally deserted me as I watch it again. But sentiment is not enough to make a great cartoon and 'Gift Wrapped' remains merely OK, a mildly enjoyable trip down memory lane which opens with its best moment ("You just ain't whistling Dixie") and then fails to live up to it.

Guitar-8 ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Everytime I watch this Warner Brothers short, I laugh @ every scene! There was a scene that was edited when Sylvester sneaks up the Christmas tree (disguised as Geronimo). Out comes Tweety in his cage (as Hopalong Cassidy) with a toy pop gun. Sylvester pulls the pop gun & gets exploded!This Warner Brothers Sylvester & Tweety short is worth getting a Christmas laugh!
