"80 years ago, Tweety Bird, the yellow canary, first appeared in a Looney Tunes cartoon entitled The Cagey Canary. In the next 20 years he appeared in 46 cartoon films playing in darkened movie theaters during the ‘Golden Age’.
Voiced by the genius Mel Blanc for decades, Tweety is one of Blanc’s many characters known for their speech impediments. ‘Pussy cat’ becomes ‘putty tat’, and ‘sweetie pie’ becomes ‘tweetie pie’.
Tweety’s large blue eyes bely this bird’s conniving instincts. Competing against a large black and white cat named Sylvester is almost a non-contest. One of Tweety’s famous catch phrases is: “I tawt I taw a puddy tat!” Sylvester spends the entire film using progressively more elaborate schemes to catch Tweety, but never succeeds (or Granny makes him spit out her beloved bird).
The first animated short that featured the famous pair, Tweetie Pie, won Warner Bros its first Academy Award for Best Short, mostly thanks to animator Friz
Freleng."

Sylvester was like the big bully in school, always out to get Tweety, but the yellow bird was too smart for the bully.
