Good concept, poorly executed.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

View MoreSylvester visits a circus and tries to show a lion who the real "king of the cats" is. And, of course, make a meal out of Tweety. Sylvester is very funny in this one. I especially love his little "meow" song and the fire-eater scene. The animation is excellent with well-drawn characters and backgrounds and good action; love the colors. The circus backdrop provides for a nice change of pace and a chance for Sylvester to interact with someone besides Tweety or Granny. Some fun gags and lines in this one. Everything with the lion is hilarious. Really a fun cartoon that every fan of Sylvester and Tweety should see at least once.
View MoreUnlike Red Riding Hoodwinked, Tweet and Sour and Hyde and Go Tweet which I was familiar with for a long time, I didn't see Tweety's Circus until very recently. And I absolutely loved it, it is hilarious and for me one of the better and funnier Sylvester and Tweety cartoons. The animation is plentiful in the colours and fluid in the backgrounds, while the music as it typically is is rousing and energetic. The writing maintains its freshness, but the revelations were the sight gags my favourite being the one where the lion grabs Sylvester's whip and lashes him back and forth. Tweety himself is good and quite active, but he is sidelined by the elephant and especially the lion. Sylvester though steals the show, he is lovable while being quite full of himself at the same time, and throughout he is comedy gold resuming his usual role of providing the laughs. Overall, hilarious. 10/10 Bethany Cox
View MoreAnother of the benchmark Sylvester films, one that really makes the viewer zero in on the character's persona as a movie star. Sylvester's so full of himself in this one--he wears his feline pride on his sleeve, and thinks nothing of being a knave in front of the king of beasts. He's not a villain, just a lovable boor. All the better to set him up as the lion's target. Director Freleng employs great rapid-fire camera pans when the lion seizes Sylvester's whip and chair and lashes him back and forth in the big cat's cage. Noteworthy, too, is the fact this is virtually one big, long, continual chase with (when I last counted) only ONE fade, when Sylvester's made pancake-flat by the elephant. But the tension never really lets up, fortunately. This film is very much an allegory. And I LOOOOOVE that "Meow" song at the beginning!
View MoreSylvester notices a circus in town and goes to pay a visit. As he walks around the animals he mocks the lion before noticing a Tweety bird in a cage. He goes after the bird but the lion and elephant are all too happy to help Tweety out.I'm not a big fan of Tweety himself, although I do like his shorts where he is quite active as opposed to just sort of hanging around while Sylvester does all the work. However here he is supported by a lion and an elephant - both of whom give Sylvester a tough time. The action is all pretty funny and I laughed out loud most of the way through it.Tweety is pretty active but it is the lion that is the best partner for Sylvester. Although, needless to say, it is Sylvester who does all the hard work and he is very, very funny throughout.Overall this is one of the best Tweety cartoons I've seen in a long time. Laugh out loud funny with good imaginative routines and good reactions from Sylvester whenever he realises what's really going on.
