SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . Tweety and Hector Haters after documenting once and for all that Sylvester has successfully ingested McDonald's Beta McNugget via an X-ray about 3 minutes, 43 seconds into this Looney Tune from the Fifties, GREEDY FOR TWEETY. Just as all of these woman-hating rental van misogynistic sidewalk killers up in Toronto or nude Waffle House military assault rifle shooters down in Tennessee seem to possess "deaf ears" when their dads tell them that "there are other fish in the sea," Warner Bros. is urging America with GREEDY FOR TWEETY that it is pointless to get hung up on the short, expendable life of just ONE "Tweety Bird," because there are billions more of them where the first one originated (that is, the factory poultry farms soon to ramp up production for the 18 trillion McNuggets sold as of April 24, 2018). So when Granny says "Khe Sera Sera" (or, "whatever will be, will be" for those not fluent in Farsi) at the close of GREEDY FOR TWEETY, what she's really doing is telling the kids of America that it will soon be okay for them to "be like Sylvester," and become serial consumers of truck loads of Tweety Birds. After all, there'll always be plenty more where the first one hatched.

utgard14 Fun Sylvester & Tweety short from director Friz Freleng. Sylvester's chasing Tweety while Hector the bulldog chases Sylvester and all three wind up running into traffic. They're sent to the hospital where Granny is their nurse. Being injured doesn't stop Sylvester and Hector from trying to inflict pain upon one another, though. My favorite scene is when a doped-up Sylvester is losing consciousness but keeps trying to force his eyes to stay open. Every time he opens them Hector is getting one step closer until the inevitable 'pow.' Great animation in this one with lovely colors and well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Lively music and wonderful voice work from the incomparable Mel Blanc and June Foray. Not one of the best Sylvester & Tweety shorts but a very enjoyable one with lots of laughs.

TheLittleSongbird Not everybody likes the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons and not everybody likes Tweety, I personally do enjoy most of their cartoons and have never had any major problem with Tweety(though Sylvester has always been much funnier and more interesting). Greedy for Tweety is not one of their best(not their weakest either, that'd be Tom Tom Tomcat), but is a lot of fun. The story is somewhat unsurprising with its formulaic moments and the ending is very predictable, it to me was pretty obvious how Greedy for Tweety was going to end from the start. Tweety is cute and at times amusing but he doesn't have a lot to do and can feel like a plot device here. Greedy for Tweety conversely is colourfully animated, the odd sketchy background here and there but most of it is colourful and smooth. Milt Franklyn's score is lush and characterful, it doesn't enhance the action quite as effectively as the work of Carl Stalling but that's not to be taken as a bad thing, Franklyn's music still is beautifully orchestrated and full of energy and Greedy for Tweety is not an exception. Greedy for Tweety is a very funny cartoon if more in the visual gags than the dialogue, the x ray/operating room and putting dynamite in the leg casts ones coming off particularly well, I actually felt the pain of the latter one(likewise with the mouse with the hammer). That is not to say that the dialogue is bad because it's far from it(just that there are more quotable ones), Granny's final line is priceless and much funnier than any of Tweety's final lines(a lot of them pretty lame but not all). The cartoon is never dull either. Granny has a lot more to do than usual and is a worthy side character but Hector and especially Sylvester make more of an impression, Hector is appropriately brutish while not being too sadistic and Sylvester suffers the worst of the pain as well as having the funniest moments. Overall, Greedy for Tweety isn't anything mind-blowing but still entertains in a lot of ways as it should. 7.5/10 Bethany Cox

Lee Eisenberg While most of the Tweety-Sylvester cartoons have Tweety brutally inflict pain on Sylvester or see the putty tat attacked by Hector the bulldog, "Greedy for Tweety" throws a wrench in the works by having all three get injured at once. When the trio runs into a busy street and each member ends up with a broken leg - does minuscule little Tweety have enough of a leg to actually get broken? - they get taken to the hospital with Granny as the nurse. Sure enough, Sylvester is still fixated on devouring Tweety (even if it means abusing Hector), while Hector is intent on protecting the little guy (even if it means abusing Sylvester).Many years ago, I saw this cartoon as part of the compilation film "Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island". But I'd forgotten some of the coolest scenes (namely the X-ray and the hammer-wielding mouse). As for the idea of Sylvester and Hector fanatically continuing their battle while Tweety sensibly tries to get some rest, maybe that's an allusion to the Cold War: the two superpowers sought to destroy each other while smaller, humbler countries tried to settle down. You know what they say: when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.OK, so I probably went a little far in trying to analyze this cartoon. The overall point is that "Greedy for Tweety" is truly a fine one. Friz Freleng always had some great ideas.
