Tweety is a fictional cartoon character, a yellow canary bird in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated cartoons. His characteristics are based on Red Skelton's famous "Junior the Mean Widdle Kid". He appeared in 46 cartoons during the golden age, made between 1942 and 1964.
Bob Clampett created the character that would become Tweety in the 1942 short A Tale of Two Kitties, pitting him against two hungry cats named Babbit and Catstello (based on the famous comedians Abbott and Costello).
Sylvester J. Pussycat Sr., created by Fritz Freleng and designed by Hawley Pratt, is a fictional cartoon character, an anthropomorphic cat in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. Most of his appearances have him often chasing Tweety, Speedy Gonzales, or Hippety Hopper. He appeared in 103 cartoons in the golden age of American animation, lagging only behind superstars Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck.
The first short to team Tweety and Sylvester, was 1947's Tweetie Pie, which won Warner Bros. its first Academy Award for Best Short Subject. Sylvester and Tweety proved to be one of the most notable pairings in animation history.
