"pairing Sylvester the cat and Tweety was a viable decision. The argument reached its crux when Freleng reportedly placed his drawing pencil on Selzer's desk, furiously telling Selzer that if he knew so much about animation, he should do the work instead. Selzer backed off the issue and apologized to Freleng that evening. ""Tweetie Pie"", the very cartoon that first paired Sylvester and Tweety together, went on to win Warner Brothers' first Academy Award for Animated Short Film, in 1947, with Tweety and Sylvester proving to be among the most endearing duos in Warner Bros. cartoons.

Tweety seems to be enjoying himself (i.e. sharing a drink with a ""pwaymate"" bird, which is actually a perpetual-motion machine, asking the red cat to take him for a ride again, after having slid with the unconscious feline down a staircase).

The cat is forced to stack mannequins on top of each other to reach the canary, who is hiding in the lighting.

He returns however, and the chase resumes, leading him to a hat sale, where he begins trying on hats. He finds the one with Tweety on top, and tries to smash him, instead hitting himself. Tweety then hides in a dollhouse,"
"For most of the rest of the cartoon, Tweety frequently switches between his usual, innocent self (which Sylvester chases) and the evil bird-monster (from which Sylvester runs away). After several back-and-forth chases (which includes Sylvester being tricked by the normal Tweety into running into an out of order chute for an elevator, as well as jumping out a window to escape the bird-monster form), Sylvester nabs a normal-sized Tweety. Unaware of the fact that the monster bird and his potential meal are one and the same, the cat locks himself in a small kitchen, throws the key out the window"

""I Taw a Putty Tat"" was Freleng's second film teaming the characters and was released less than a year after ""Tweetie Pie"". It is noticeable that while this cartoon was directed by Friz Freleng, the Tweety we see in it is by far closer to the aggressive little bird used in his first few cartoons directed by Bob Clampett than the more subdued and naive character he would become a few years"

As such, the chase now casts Sylvester not as the predator but as the (not-so-altrustic) protagonist who plans to save Tweety from a predatory cat before Granny returns— more to save his own skin. After several exchanges, with both Sylvester and the orange cat clobbering each other, Sylvester finally gets rid of the predatory cat by blowing him up in Granny's chimney (by way of a lighted TNT candle tied to a balloon).
