Production notes
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.

Tweet Zoo
A fine example of Freleng's feel for atmosphere--he really makes you feel you're in on a breezy zoo outing. This short has the bonus, too, of reprises of the lion and "Mr. Elephant" from "Tweety's Circus"......also that grizzly and that rhino, equally memorable.
Tweet Zoo
The problem with this cartoon is that Tweety is very lazy. He just sits back and lets the zoo animals take care of Sylvester.
