You’re invited to a royally Looney movie event as everyone's favorite cat and bird duo, Tweety and Sylvester, join forces in Warner Bros.' upcoming animated film, King Tweety. Screen Rant is happy to exclusively announce the animated Tweety movie and reveal its trailer. King Tweety marks Tweety’s second starring role in a feature-length film, following 2000's direct-to-video animated film, Tweety's High-Flying Adventure. In it, Tweety attempts to fly around the world in 80 days to help Granny raise enough money to save a local park.
Tweety debuted back in 1942 in the short, A Tale of Two Kitties, which took home an Oscar for Best Animated Short. The foil for the always hungry Sylvester grew in popularity, and soon became one of the most beloved Looney Tunes characters, second only to Bugs Bunny in terms of universal awareness. He starred in numerous films over the years, including a second Oscar winner, Birds Anonymous in 1957. He has gone on to become a cultural icon, with his likeness adorning every imaginable type of merchandise.
