One of the worst movies I've ever seen

The acting in this movie is really good.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

"Tweety and the Beanstalk", directed by Friz Freleng, is a fast & funny Tweety/Sylvester cartoon in which the slobbering feline finds himself as the main character in the familiar Jack & the Beanstalk story. Thus, Sylvester is tiny, even tinier than Tweety! "I tawt I taw a itty bitty putty tat!" My favorite moments from this cartoon: I love the way Tweety says, "Ooh, dat itty bitty putty tat, he up to no dood!" as Sylvester unscrews the bottom of Tweety's birdcage and gets flattened. I also laugh at Tweety's Asian stereotype at the very end; yes, I know it's wrong, but it's very funny.You can catch "Tweety and the Beanstalk", among numerous other Looney Tunes fairy tales, on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5 Disc 2.

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.

When Jack grows his beanstalk, his cat accidentally gets caught up in it as it grows upwards and Sylvester wakes up in the giant's kingdom. When he discovers that everything is bigger in this world he immediately makes it his goal to get his hands on a Tweety Pie bird that is as big as he is!After Jack-Rabbit and the Beanstalk, Sylvester also gets caught up in the fairy tale. The film is really just the usual jokes but with the size difference making a slight change to the gags and routines. The size difference isn't used that well - Sylvester still tries to get into Tweety's cage and is still chased by a dog - it doesn't really matter that they are bigger than usual.Tweety has very little to do apart from be a little bigger than usual (and put on a funny accent at the end). Sylvester is pretty good but neither the dog nor the giant really have anything in the way of character.Overall this is an enjoyable enough cartoon but it is just a shame that the fact that everything is bigger than usual isn't used very well or make much difference. Also, Tweety is not a strong enough presence here to justify his name being in the title.

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".
