Tweet Zoo

Tweet Zoo is a 1957 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Friz Freleng. Originally released on January 12, 1957 (before being re-issued on May 26, 1962), this short stars Tweety and Sylvester.

Audio from this cartoon was sampled by Paul McCartney on the song "Check My Machine", released in 1980 as the B-side to the single "Waterfalls".

The cartoon, set in a city zoo, begins with a tour guide showing various animal exhibits to visitors. The final stop (at least as far as viewers can see) is the exhibit featuring the "one and only example" of the Tweety Bird species. This draws tag-along tourist Sylvester's interest and becomes separated from the group. After the requisite "I tawt I taw a puddy tat" lines, Sylvester begins his latest pursuit.

The attempts, all unsuccessful, are as follows:

In the end, a frustrated Sylvester leaves the zoo and strikes birds off his diet list. In response, a cluster of birds land on his shoulders and head as he is walking away, muttering about his awful timing for going on a diet.

The short is available on the "Stars Of Space Jam: Sylvester and Tweety" VHS
