Tweetie Pie

Tweetie Pie is a 1947 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng and produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons, depicting the first pairing of Tweety and Sylvester.When Tweety’s creator, director Bob Clampett, left the Warner Bros. studio in 1946, he was working on a fourth film starring Tweety, whom he would pair with Friz Freleng’s Sylvester, who previously appeared with Porky Pig in his cartoon “Kitty Kornered” (released in 1946). Freleng adopted the Tweety project and merged it with a project he was working on—a follow-up to his second Sylvester cartoon, “Peck Up Your Troubles,” featuring Sylvester in pursuit of a witty woodpecker. When Freleng decided to replace the woodpecker with Tweety, producer Eddie Selzer objected, and Freleng threatened to quit. Selzer allowed Tweety to be used, and the resulting film went on to win Warner Brothers’ first Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons) which, ironically, Selzer accepted. After Selzer’s death, the Oscar was passed on to Freleng.
