Not everybody likes the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons and not everybody likes Tweety, I personally do enjoy most of their cartoons and have never had any major problem with Tweety(though Sylvester has always been much funnier and more interesting). Greedy for Tweety is not one of their best(not their weakest either, that'd be Tom Tom Tomcat), but is a lot of fun. The story is somewhat unsurprising with its formulaic moments and the ending is very predictable, it to me was pretty obvious how Greedy for Tweety was going to end from the start. Tweety is cute and at times amusing but he doesn't have a lot to do and can feel like a plot device here. Greedy for Tweety conversely is colourfully animated, the odd sketchy background here and there but most of it is colourful and smooth. Milt Franklyn's score is lush and characterful, it doesn't enhance the action quite as effectively as the work of Carl Stalling but that's not to be taken as a bad thing, Franklyn's music still is beautifully orchestrated and full of energy and Greedy for Tweety is not an exception. Greedy for Tweety is a very funny cartoon if more in the visual gags than the dialogue, the x ray/operating room and putting dynamite in the leg casts ones coming off particularly well, I actually felt the pain of the latter one(likewise with the mouse with the hammer). That is not to say that the dialogue is bad because it's far from it(just that there are more quotable ones), Granny's final line is priceless and much funnier than any of Tweety's final lines(a lot of them pretty lame but not all). The cartoon is never dull either. Granny has a lot more to do than usual and is a worthy side character but Hector and especially Sylvester make more of an impression, Hector is appropriately brutish while not being too sadistic and Sylvester suffers the worst of the pain as well as having the funniest moments. Overall, Greedy for Tweety isn't anything mind-blowing but still entertains in a lot of ways as it should. 7.5/10 Bethany Cox

. . . Tweety and Hector Haters after documenting once and for all that Sylvester has successfully ingested McDonald's Beta McNugget via an X-ray about 3 minutes, 43 seconds into this Looney Tune from the Fifties, GREEDY FOR TWEETY. Just as all of these woman-hating rental van misogynistic sidewalk killers up in Toronto or nude Waffle House military assault rifle shooters down in Tennessee seem to possess "deaf ears" when their dads tell them that "there are other fish in the sea," Warner Bros. is urging America with GREEDY FOR TWEETY that it is pointless to get hung up on the short, expendable life of just ONE "Tweety Bird," because there are billions more of them where the first one originated (that is, the factory poultry farms soon to ramp up production for the 18 trillion McNuggets sold as of April 24, 2018). So when Granny says "Khe Sera Sera" (or, "whatever will be, will be" for those not fluent in Farsi) at the close of GREEDY FOR TWEETY, what she's really doing is telling the kids of America that it will soon be okay for them to "be like Sylvester," and become serial consumers of truck loads of Tweety Birds. After all, there'll always be plenty more where the first one hatched.
