Canary Row

Sylvester, looking through his binoculars from the headquarters of the Bird Watcher's Society in San Francisco, tries a variety of schemes to snag Tweety from Granny's high-rise apartment, the Broken Arms Hotel, which clearly states, "No Cats and Dogs." Trying to gain access Sylvester attempts to disguise himself as an organ grinder's monkey, a bellboy and a tightrope walker. However, he cannot make it past Granny or the cat-hating desk clerk.

Sylvester, Tweety, Granny, Desk Clerk, Monkey

This is the first time that Granny is depicted as Tweety's owner.

Near the end, there is a "Drink Friz!" sign in the background.

Closing line (by Granny, as a trolley engineer), "You did see a puddy tat!"

The Blue Ribbon release featured blue rings. This release also features the original title cards and includes credits.

In September of 1943, beginning with A Feud There Was, Warner Bros. began re-releasing select color cartoons in their Blue Ribbon program. Typically the Blue Ribbon reissues received new opening sequences with Blue Ribbon title cards and standardized music. Cartoon production credits were also removed. Between ten and fifteen cartoons were released in any given year, with cartoons coming from as far back as 1935. The reissues continued until the close of the studio in the 1960's.

All Blue Ribbon cartoons were released as "Merrie Melodie" cartoons regardless of the original series. The first "Looney Tunes" short to be included in the Blue Ribbon series was The Hep Cat, which was added in 1949. The only current prints of many of these cartoons are the Blue Ribbon releases, although restoration of these cartoons with original elements and titles is always ongoing.
