Talk:Tweety

message: Quick question:  is Tweety Bird a female or male?  I'm really not sure, and I'd like somebody to clarify this for me, and possibly make some kind of disambiguation on the article page or do some research.
----Tweety is a Male character
To answer your question, Tweety is a male.  If you want more confirmation, there are numerous references to his gender in "the Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries" as well as "Tweety's high flying adventure".  This was Tweety's own movie which was released sometime in 2000.  In the movie, there is a clear reference that he is male by the fact that he actually gets a Girlfriend named Aaooga, though I'm not sure of the spelling.  She mentions at the end that he's a male, here's the quote said by Aaooga at the end of the movie...
"I also have an invaluable inner sense of time, but why spoil it for him?"
Hope that clears it up.  I'll do some more on the movie when I have the time
I think the fact that one short is named "Ain't She Tweet?" may be the source of at least part of the confusion over Tweety's gender.

thread_title:  Does anybody know when Tweety made his debut? 

message: From the article:
:Many of Mel Blanc's characters are notable for speech impediments. Tweety's comes from having a beak, with no lips or teeth. Thus he has trouble saying certain words, especially ones with "dental" sounds. The most noticeable is that "s" gets changed to "t" or "d"; for example, "pussy cat" comes out as "putty tat" or "puddy tat", and "sweetie pie" comes out as "tweetie pie", although it is doubtful he ever actually called himself by that name on-screen. 
The article suggests Tweety can't pronounce S because it's dental, and so replaces it with T or D?  That doesn't make sense.  S  is alveolar, not dental.  And T's and D's have the same place of articulation as S.  And if the beak is the problem, one would think he'd have more trouble with bilabials, including the P in puddy tat, with his clear lack of lips.  I think the speculation on Tweety's bird anatomy being the origin of his speech problems is ill-founded, unless there's a source that it was at least intended as such.

replies: text: I decided there was no reason for me not to just take that part out, since it makes no sense and has no source cited. I left in the part about his speech impediment, but took out the speculation on its origin.  NickelShoe 19:46, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I believe the title of this article should be simply "Tweety." It is my impression (which could of course be wrong) that "Tweety Bird" is a sort of bastardization adopted by the public and did not officially originate from Warner. "Tweety Pie" is the title of a cartoon. Neither is the actual name of the character, I don't think, and in any case, everyone agrees on the "Tweety" part. Richard K. Carson (talk) 04:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What does WB call this bird? Whatever they "officially" call him, that's what his name is, and hence that's what the article should be called. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 05:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I take this  to be an official WB site. They call the duck "Daffy Duck", and they call the bunny "Bugs Bunny", but they only call our little yellow canary "Tweety", not "Tweety Bird". However, remember the Michael Jordan TV ad with Tweety, in which the bird was claiming to be related to Larry Bird because they had "the same last name"? It appears there is some ambiguity in the Tweety world. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 06:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: For clarity, I'm inclined to think that you're right, though not quite for the right reason, i.e. WB themselves have sometimes embraced "Tweety Bird". The simplest thing to do is to have "Tweety" be the main article, and to have "Tweety Bird" and "Tweety Pie" (which is where the name actually comes from) redirect to just plain "Tweety". Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 06:02, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sure that in more recent years, younger employees of WB who grew up with the character have themselves called him "Tweety Bird." I question only whether anyone at WB called him that during the character's heyday when his originators were alive and active. Richard K. Carson (talk) 03:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There might also have been a desire to attach last names to these characters, hence Sylvester J. Pussycat or whatever. In that sense, Tweety Bird is logical. However, it comes from Tweety Pie, i.e. "Sweetie Pie", so is that really a name, or is it more like a description? And why does he look like a baby bird? I know why, but let's not get into details. The point being, Tweety seems to have some inherent ambiguity. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 03:33, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm not in position to check at present, but one clue would be Bugs Bunny Superstar, which is on one of the DVD's, and Bob Clampett talks at some length about the bird. Certainly whatever he calls the bird would carry some weight. The other thing would be to check the credits on the Tweety cartoons and see what he's called (if anything) for each one. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 03:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Checking his filmography, it was initially "Tweetie Pie", as in "Sweetie Pie"; and the "Pie" part was still being invoked as late as 1958, although "Tweetie" became "Tweety" soon after the "Tweetie Pie" cartoon. However, in the titles at least, I'm not seeing "Tweety Bird" anywhere. I think just plain "Tweety" is the right name to call this article, and let the other variations redirect to it. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 03:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: But before taking action, please note that just plain Tweety was the previous name of the article and then it got switched.  So you might want to ask the user who switched it a nearly three years ago. He's still active. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 03:40, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have asked. However, on closer examination, it seems there were parallel articles, and the user simply merged the two, and probably chose Tweety Bird over Tweety on the grounds that he's better known as Tweety Bird (which is questionable). 03:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

text: It's probably the case that his "canonical" name varied over time, but in this promotional sequence for The Bugs Bunny Show on ABC circa 1960, Bugs Bunny clearly calls him by name, "Tweety Pie", so that phrase is not merely the name of one of the cartoon shorts, but that of the character it featured (as Bugs Bunny describes him as "Oscar-winning"). 2601:545:8201:6290:8522:9D48:A7AE:ED77 (talk) 23:15, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tweety is Sweetie Pie's father 

message: This was placed at the end of the 'Creation by Bob Clampett' section:
Another noticeable thing about Tweety is his occasional and rare habit of transforming into a giant Hyde version of himself, by accidentally dropping in Hyde Formula. This was first seen in Hyde and Go Tweet, and happened again in the "London Broiled" episode of The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries. Since then, this habit was also used in certain idents of the UK Boomerang channel.
1. The short in which that happened ('Hyde And Go Tweet') was released in 1960 (long after Clampett's time at WB), so that is the wrong section for it.
2. 'Habit' implies that it happens all the time - it is only prominent in that one short. (The 'Mysteries' episode could count but is more likely there as a reference to 'HagT', and I don't think a channel ident counts as 'canon'.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.0.149.100 (talk) 18:27, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Jeff Bergman is still one of the official and current voice of Tweety AND Daffy Duck alternating with Eric Bauza for productions and projects, Bob Bergen while still voicing Porky Pig Hasn't Reportedly voice Tweety since 2021 with  Space Jam a New legacy premiered before Jeff Bergman and Eric Bauza respectively took over the role of Tweety. I really think we should stick with Two Main current voice actors for Tweety Jeff Bergman and Eric Bauza for the most recent productions and projects and Two Main current voice actors for Daffy Duck Jeff Bergman and Eric Bauza for the  most recent productions and projects while Bob Bergen is still voicing Porky Pig Hasn't reportedly voiced Tweety  since 2021 with Space Jam a New legacy premiered before Jeff Bergman and Eric Bauza respectively took over the role of Tweety. All we need  to do is to bring the present back for Tweety and Daffy Duck articles which is Jeff Bergman roles and removed Bob Bergen's role as Tweety. People let your voice be heard and tell Brian K Tyler to bring present back for Tweety and Daffy Duck articles which is Jeff Bergman roles and removed Bob Bergen's part as Tweety,  people let your voice be loud and clear to understand that Jeff Bergman is still voicing Tweety and Daffy Duck for productions and projects alternating with Eric Bauza. 166.182.80.244 (talk) 17:44, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
