"I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat" is an animated short film from 2011, so this one had its 5th anniversary last year and it is a bit of back to the roots as here we have a new modern take by writer and director Matthew O'Callaghan on the eternal story of Sylvester trying to catch Tweety. Of course, Granny is around as well as if Tweety would not make things complicated enough already for the kitty. It is pretty short, runs for 3.5 minutes only, so half the length roughly as these cartoons did back in the day. Mel Blonc was long dead already when they made this, but he still leaves a lasting impression and his song is probably the only somewhat decent aspect of this little movie. Oh yeah, June Foray as Granny is on board too, very fitting character for her as she is about to turn 100 in a few months. Anyway, the comedy was not good in here at all, the animation did not really impress me either and I cannot agree with the Annie Awards appreciation for this one. It's not new or creative or innovative, but maybe it can get a few people interested again in the cartoons from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, then it is okay it was made. Besides that, I give it a thumbs-down though and don't recommend the watch, maybe because even back then Sylvester and Tweety were never among my favorites compared to the many many other WB characters or Disney too.
