Tweety's Circus
VERY ESSENTIAL Sylvester.
This is one of his defining films: there's a lot more to Friz Freleng's creation than just plain wickedness. Sylvester's just a lovable boor, simply full of himself; he thinks nothing of thumbing his nose even at the "King of Cats." There's an extra bit of character motivation, in the lion's quest for revenge.
Tweety's Circus
Another of the benchmark Sylvester films, one that really makes the viewer zero in on the character as a movie star. Sylvester's so full of himself in this one--he wears his feline pride on his sleeve, and thinks nothing of being a knave in front of the king of beasts. He's not a villian, just a lovable boor. Great rapid-fire camera pans, too, when the lion seizes Sylvester's whip and chair and lashes him back and forth in the big cat's cage.
