Tweety, you look mighty appetizing tonight, prepare to be my dinner... * * * Title: Bird in a Guilty CageArtist: Warner BrothersMedium: Giclee on paperImage Size: 11 1/4" x 13 1/2" * * Paper Size: 15 3/4" x 19 3/4" - unframedEdition: hand numbered out of 500 * * Condition: Excellent * * Authentication: Warner Brothers hologram on paper * This scene is taken from an actual “freeze-frame” from the Looney Tunes cartoon short entitled, A Bird in a Guilty Cage, released in 1952 under the direction of Friz Freleng. The combination of the spuddering, loose-lipped puddy tat and the adowable wittle * bird proved to be one of Freleng’s most popular and successful properties. Tweety is basically a passive character, who stands by and watches as Sylvester formulates elaborate and inevitably unsuccessful schemes to capture him. Tweety gets laughs by offering * a commentary on Sylvester’s mishaps such as, “Ah, the puddy has pink skin under his fur coat!” Sylvester’s main nemesis in many of these cartoons is Granny, Tweety’s owner- a feisty old lady, always ready to belt Sylvester with her umbrella. But, Sylvester * is ultimately his own worst enemy and, the more grandiose the scheme he conceives, the more certain it is to backfire. Director Friz Freleng stated, “Tweety never did a damned thing but say ‘I tawt I taw a puddy tat,’ and Sylvester was a character that fell * on his face all the time, who unintentionally planned to defeat himself.” *
