Tweety's Bio:
Description: Tweety is a yellow canary. He has blue eyes, orange feet, an orange beak and three black hairs on his little head. Name: He is know as Tweety Bird or Tweetie Pie.
Story: Tweety was the creation of Bob Clampett, who had a fascination with baby birds he fondly remembered from nature films, as well as a baby picture of himself he remembered rather less fondly. While WB had had similar birds before, Clampett gave the bird a lisping baby voice, a head proportioned like a baby, and a temperament borrowed perhaps from the Red Skelton character of Junior, the Mean Widdle Kid. In his debut in "A Tale of Two Kitties" and in the follow-ups "Birdy and the Beast" and "A Gruesome Twosome," Tweety shows that he is no helpless little orphan, as he uses gasoline, hand grenades, dynamite and clubs to protect himself.
Originally pink, Tweety was changed to yellow, after censors complained. Clampett did some of the early preliminary work on "Tweetie Pie" before turning the project over to Friz Freleng, who steered it to an Oscar-winning cartoon. The cartoon has caused some confusion in the name of the character. Sometimes the character is referred to as Tweety, but other times the character is referred to as Tweetie Pie, muddying the situation. In "Tree Cornered Tweety", Tweety appears in an Automat window labeled Tweety Pie, right next to the Lemon Pie. Tweety makes a cameo in "No Barking," saying his catch-phrase "I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat." Putty Tat has also been spelled Puddy Tat, which is now the officially endorsed spelling. Mel Blancrecorded a hit song "I Taut I Taw a Puddy-Tat" in 1950. Recently Tweety starred in his own movie: "Tweety's High Flying Adventure" (2000).
Joe Alaskey now does the voice of Tweety. Alaskey is also a very talented "on-camera" actor, guest starring on numerous television series, including "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," "Growing Pains," and "Night Court." He served as the voice of Richard Nixon in the Oscar-winning feature film "Forrest Gump," as well as the voice of the oh-so-irreverent Daffy Duck, serving as presenter during the 67th Annual Academy Awards ceremony. Alaskey can also be heard as the voice of Stinkie in Steven Spielberg's "Casper."
Tweety Bird Favorite Thing is: Sitting in his cage and singing.
People Tweety Bird Likes: Granny and the Bulldog because Tweety is safe when around them.
Tweety Bird Dislikes: Sylvester because he is out to eat him.
Biggest Problem: His is the prey of Sylvester the cat. His is always being chased around. Sylvester the cat is not a problem while Granny or the Bulldog are around. Sometimes Tweety can even save himself by using his wing to fly off or his amazing voice.
