SunnyHello Nice effects though.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
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.
utgard14 Another fun Sylvester and Tweety cartoon from Friz Freleng. Sylvester visits the zoo where Tweety is on display. Of course, he tries to catch Tweety leading to funny situations with other zoo animals. Love the little bits of business with the other animals like the rhino's reaction to the zoo tour guide and the tiger conversation. The animation is a little scratchy but still nice. Really love the colors. In many ways this is a standard Sylvester & Tweety cartoon but the backdrop makes it feel more fresh. Smart move to give the animals and zoo people some character. Without that, the cartoon wouldn't work as well as it does.
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
