The Jet Cage

Tweety is given a $12.95 flying cage to replace the current stationary birdcage which leads him to bemoan his isolation from the outside world. Sylvester, meanwhile, looks forward to locking horns with the canary outdoors. But the cage comes with a trapdoor through which he is dropped like a bullet once on the inside. In addition, Tweety is able to trick him into throwing away his ping-pong-paddle-shaped wings ("How you gonna det me? You got yo' hands full!").

Sylvester, Tweety, Granny, Crows

The first half of the music score is by Milt Franklyn, who died during production. The music score was completed by Bill Lava, who would become the studio's new musical director. (The scene where Sylvester tries to capture Tweety with a net is where the Lava music takes over.) The last cartoon in which Milt Franklyn is credited music director will be "Mother Was a Rooster."

Interestingly, it isn't until near the tail end of the cartoon that the Puddy Tat speaks, and the bird doesn't appear at all in the final portion.
