It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

. . . (the USA's All-American cat) Jibber-Jabbering away in pigeon Italian? It's bad enough listening to the screechy duo of Granny and Tweety Bird butchering gondolier chanties. But being affronted by Sylvester prattling in badly broken Foreigner probably will be enough to turn most patrons away from A PIZZA-TWEETY PIE. If this heroic feline actually was able to gobble up a nugget or two of Tweety (preferably with honey mustard sauce), this animated short MIGHT be worth six minutes of your life. However, nothing of the sort is offered for your vicarious culinary pleasure. The factually-challenged cartoonists instead offer up lame gags such as robotic mallets at the ends of wet noodles. It's too bad that James Bond (aka, Secret Agent 007) wasn't able to sink ALL of Venice before A PIZZA-TWEETY PIE was baked. Had Jimbo acted faster, perhaps interrupting catnaps for such "Marco Polo" nonsense wouldn't have struck anyone in a "humorous" light.

We've seen Sylvester go after Tweety many times, so this time they move the action to Venice, Italy. Granny and Tweety are on vacation there, so Venice resident Sylvester (with an exaggerated Italian accent) does his usual stuff...and of course always fails. Of course, Tweety does some nasty things to him, so he hasn't much of a chance.As is the case with many of these cartoons, it's a good thing that I watched "A Pizza Tweety-Pie" as an adult. As a child, I wouldn't have gotten the pop culture reference (lowla bridgeada). As for Tweety's misunderstanding of the canals, it calls into question how safe it is to build cities on swamps and marshes.Really fun. Especially due to eliciting thoughts about the referenced actress.

I love Looney Tunes, and while Sylvester and Tweety are not my favourites of the Looney Tunes characters I do like their cartoons. A Pizza Tweety-Pie is not among their best, but in its own right it is very entertaining, yes even with the standard story and the very fake accent that Sylvester is given. The animation is crisp and smooth with a beautiful Italian setting, while the music is charming with great flavour to it. The dialogue is witty and fresh, but it is the antics of Sylvester really that make the cartoon as entertaining as it is. Tweety is good but Sylvester accent aside is wonderful, as are Mel Blanc's voices. All in all, entertaining and whether you are a fan of this duo or not it is worth seeing. 8/10 Bethany Cox

When Granny and Tweety take a visit to Venice, Italy, they come to see the sights and history. Tweety gets left on the balcony where he is spotted by Sylvester from the opposite balcony - however getting across the watery divide is easier said than done.I'm not a big fan of Tweety Pie cartoons mainly because I find Tweety a little irritating at times. Here though the material is actually quite funny even if lots of it you will have seen all of it before in other shorts. Familiarity didn't breed contempt in this case for me and I laughed out loud quite a few times at some of the antics.The Italian setting was only really used to create a stretch of water to be an obstacle - much like was done with the sea in another cartoon, however Sylvester is given a mock Italian accent, which happily isn't used very much due to having a low amount of dialogue. Tweety is quite good but it is Sylvester's antics that get the laughs.Overall this is a pretty amusing short that uses the water well even if it all feels very familiar at times. It is funny in it's own right and manages to overcome the horrid accent that is shoved onto Sylvester.
