Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . so at first glance its title--HOME, TWEET HOME--might appear to be something of a misnomer. However, upon further reflection, it's clear that this title-subject disagreement is intentional among Warner's crack warning team, that is, its Cassandra-like Looney Tunes Division, always up for cautioning America about its approaching Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti. Perhaps "A park is a park is a park" in the 1900s, to paraphrase Gertrude Stein. But seen through the prism of 21st Century America, Warner warns us that THIS park encompasses ALL of Future America. Furthermore, the Sadistic Lord of the Beasts featured here--Tweety Bird--is ruling it with an Iron Claw. It talks sweet little Mary Poppins into braining us, the Public (in the guise of Sylvester Cat). This forces viewers to ask themselves, "Which Current-Day Tweeter is able to keep America's P-words groped and sore--as is Sylvester in HOME--while wrapping little old ladies around his fingers?" Obviously, Warner warns us here against Molester-in-Chief Rump. Let's hope that his Tweet is worse than his tree sin.
utgard14 Simple but effective Sylvester & Tweety short directed by Friz Freleng. This time Tweety is in a park (pre-Granny era so he's alone) and Sylvester is trying to get at him and failing repeatedly. It's a straightforward plot but the Looney Tunes cartoons were never driven by a great story. The gags here, such as Sylvester trying to take the place of a toddler and getting a spanking or Sylvester's creative usage of bubble gum, are lots of fun to watch. Mel Blanc's voice work is exceptional as always. Carl Stalling's music is energetic and suits the action perfectly. The animation is beautiful with well-drawn characters and backgrounds and rich colors. It's not one of the best Sylvester and Tweety cartoons but it is a good one.
TheLittleSongbird There may be those who disagree but I like these Sylvester and Tweety cartoons, and Home, Tweet Home is one of my favourites of theirs. It has a simple yet effective story, starts off well and ends well too.The animation is excellent, very vibrant and colourful with beautiful backgrounds, while the music is never devoid of its quirkiness. The dialogue is very funny, especially Tweety's final line which is not only funny but hilarious, but it is the sight gags where Home, Tweet Home really scores. The chase through the park is classic, but the one with Sylvester using bubble gum to get to the top of the building is great. Even better is the one where Sylevester disguises himself as a granny which has hilarious consequences. Sylvester is great to watch, while Tweety manages to be both cute yet more active and somewhat aggressive here. Mel Blanc's voice characterisations are stellar once again too.All in all, a hilarious cartoon and one of the better Sylvester and Tweety cartoons in my opinion. 10/10 Bethany Cox
MartyD82-1 In one of Friz Freleng's earliest Sylvester/Tweety shorts we find Tweety taking a bath in a city park's birdbath when Sylvester (cleverly hidden behind a newspaper) spots him. Thus begins a classic chase through the park and into the city. Oh, and a feisty nanny spending an afternoon at the park with the baby she's watching somehow gets mixed up in the whole situation.Being a 1950 cartoon, we see the deceptively cute Tweety at his most aggressive. The bird takes great pleasure in thwarting Sylvester's every attempt at catching him, resorting to everything from anvils to even getting a "guard dog" (in what has to be one of the most creative visual/musical moments ever in a Sylvester/Tweety cartoon). The best gag, however, involves Sylvester disguising as the Nanny's child. The animation, particularly of the park scenery, is topnotch (and it's here that we really see Tweety develop visually), Carl Stalling's musical score is (as usual) excellent, and the ending is perfect (particularly, Tweety's final line after getting rid of Sylvester is hilarious).Overall, this is easily among the finest Sylvester/Tweety cartoons. And considering the excellent quality of the two's shorts up until around 1960, that's certainly saying something.
