Tweety Pie

For fans of animation history this is the rarely seen ORIGINAL title sequence to the first ever Tweety and Sylvester cartoon, entitled Tweety Pie. Until now most people probably have never seen this particular footage due to Warner Bros. reissuing all of their shorts as Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies beginning in 1943 and replacing the title cards with what most of us are used to now. In fact, the studios sadly no longer have the original uncut versions of most their shorts; including 1947's Tweety Pie, which was reissued in 1955 in color for the Blue Ribbon series. Tweety Pie went on to win WB their first Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons).
