Tweety
Tweety, also known in some Spanish-speaking countries by his English name Tweety, is a character created by Bob Clampett for the cartoon series Looney Tunes , from the American production company Warner Bros.
Description
Tweety is a cartoon that is a small yellow canary with an enormous head and disproportionately large legs that the cat Sylvester tries to catch to devour it. Despite the size and tricks of his enemy, Tweety always manages to get rid of him, either by his own efforts, by mere luck or with the help of Granny (his owner) and even the help of the bulldog Hector or both. at once.
Tweety Origin
First off, Tweety was called Orson and he was a pink wild baby bird (being naked, without feathers), he was quite daring in his relationship with his cat enemies. Later they turned him into a canary by changing his color to yellow and his name to Tweety after some complaints from the censors (due to nudity), likewise, his attitude became more tender and innocent.
His name in Latin America and Spain is Piolín. This name alludes to the phonetic representation of the trill of the canary, which in English is "tweet" and in Spanish "pío", another version is that the name piolín derives from Nahuatl, piotl (chicken) or piolin (the one who chirps like a chick) which in turn is an onomatopoeia for the trill of birds and chicks. In recent years, the original name has begun to be used in some Latin American countries.
Tweety Genesis
Bob Clampett created his character based on a photograph of himself from his childhood. In the original version, Tweety is voiced as a baby, something Clampett himself used to do often when he was joking. Tweety's typical expression: I thought I saw a cute little kitten, comes from a phrase Clampett had used years before in a letter to a friend along with a picture of a little bird. His gender is controversial, as he is believed to be female due to his extremely high-pitched voice and long eyelashes; Although his creator had already confirmed that the canary is male, he was originally going to be called Orson.
