Tweety
Tweety Bird (also known as Tweety Pie or simply Tweety) is a fictional character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated cartoons. Tweety's popularity, like that of The Tasmanian Devil, actually grew in the years following the dissolution of the Looney Tunes cartoons.
The name "Tweety" is a play on words, as it originally meant "Sweetie", along with "tweet" being a typical English expression imitating the sounds of birds.
Bob Clampett created the character that would become Tweety Bird in the 1942 short A Tale of Two Kitties, pitting him against two hungry cats named Babbit and Catstello.
Tweety was named Orson (which was also the name of a bird character from an earlier Clampett cartoon Wacky Blackouts).
Tweety was originally not a domestic canary, but simply a generic (and wild) baby bird in an outdoors nest.
Tweety has a small part in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, "accidentally" causing Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) to fall from a pole by playing "This Little Piddy" with Valiant's fingers and loosening his grip.
Tweety appeared in an early 1980s public service announcement, warning parents of the dangers of boiling temperature bath water.
In the TV series Tiny Toon Adventures, Tweety appeared rarely as the mentor of Sweetie Pie.
In the game Taz: Wanted, he assists Taz in destroying wanted posters and gives him hints throughout the game.
In the television show, Loonatics Unleashed, Tweety's descendant, known as The Royal Tweetums, rules the planet Blanc in the care of its present ruler, Queen Grannicus (Granny's descendant).
