Warner Bros have taken to accompanying their CGI features with new Looney Tunes shorts (very short - 3-4 minutes, half the duration of a standard one-reeler), very much in the style of the classic shorts, but in computer graphics not hand-drawn animation, and in 3D. The first 3 of these were Road Runner cartoons in the Chuck Jones mold.
And now they are joined by this exquisite piece of work: new animation to accompany the hit record from 1951(!) where Mel Blanc, the voice of all Warners' cartoon characters for so many years, gives us Tweety and Sylvester voicing their fundamental relationship in song. I remember this record so well from my childhood, and to see it brought to life in this cartoon - both very much to the classic template, and also bang up to date - is wonderful.
And, as if I need to say so, it is very, very funny, and the 3D is used to its fullest extent to serve the short.
