. . . leaves Sylvester coveting the Giant's humongous canary ("Acres and acres of Tweety Bird," as Sylvester exaggerates). While Sylvester is able to carry this Ginormous Tweety, he cannot chomp him down in one bite (as he's been able to do with hundreds of earlier Tweeties during this series). Since Sylvester never gets so much as a nibble of Tweetzilla, it's impossible to know exactly what line of attack he might have in mind for a potential Super Canary Fest. Though most guys in a similar predicament would recruit their buddies to help deal with such an unexpected (if unwieldy) bird bonanza, Sylvester is depicted as a "loner" cat throughout his Tweety-stalking career. When other felines appear, he sees them mostly as rivals for his meat supply--not to be trusted. Therefore, Sylvester never calls in any reinforcements during TWEETY AND THE BEANSTALK. Consequently, Sylvester is butt-dialed down to China as soon as he chops down the beanstalk (with the Giant's rear end looming above him). Fortunately, he "pops down" next to an Asian Tweety, meaning that he's in store for something like Gen. Tsao's chicken.

Personally I like the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons, though if I were honest I prefer those of Bugs and Daffy. Tweety and the Beanstalk is for me one of their better cartoons, along with Hyde and Go Tweet. It is basically a fun little twist on the timeless Jack and the Beanstalk tale, with a size reversal between Sylvester and Tweety. The animation is crisp and colourful, while the music is bright and lively. Both Tweety and the Giant have some great dialogue, my favourite was the one in the title of this review, while some of the cartoon revolves around Sylvester's ingenious(or not so ingenious) traps to capture Tweety. Tweety is good here, while Sylvester and the Giant are even better, and Mel Blanc is excellent once again. Overall, simply great. 10/10 Bethany Cox

As far as I'm concerned, any Sylvester-Tweety pairing is a good one. So, I still like "Tweety and the Beanstalk", even though it's far from the best Sylvester-Tweety pairing. It portrays Jack's mother throwing the beans under Sylvester's box, after which a beanstalk grows under it and takes Sylvester up to the giant's kingdom; this was I assume the only time that Tweety was twice Sylvester's size.If this cartoon has any real weakness, it's that we don't get to see any of Tweety's usual nasty tricks to fend off Sylvester. Then again, since Tweety is bigger than Sylvester here, they didn't really need to do that. "TATB" actually gets really neat once we meet the giant. But Sylvester and Tweety's best pairing in 1957 was "Birds Anonymous", and the best Looney Tunes spin on "Jack and the Beanstalk" was "Beanstalk Bunny", in which Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck climb the beanstalk up to a land where Elmer Fudd is the giant.

For the most part this is fairly typical Sylvester and Tweety material except that there's "acres and acres of giant tweetybird". While not as clever as Bugs and Daffy in "Beanstalk Bunny", when Sylvester's attempts to get Tweety finally arouse the giant, he enters with one of my all-time favorite lines: "fee fi fo fat, I tought I taw a puddy tat".
