The first pairing of Tweety and Sylvester, and it got them an oscar. Once Bob Clampett had left the studio, Freleng redesigned Tweety and paired him with his own Sylvester. Apparently, the producer, Edward Selzer, hated the idea and wanted Friz to use the woodpecker from "Peck up Your Troubles". He changed his mind once the cartoon won the Academy Award. Here, Sylvester is given his first on-screen name, 'Thomas". Tweety, cold and frozen in the snow, is caught by the hungry Sylvester/Thomas, and he's about to be a frozen snack when Sylvester's female owner stops the cat and decides to keep Tweety as a pet. The rest of the cartoon has Sylvester trying (and failing) to catch and eat Tweety. Several of the gags would become pperennials in the series, inludiong the stacking-furniture-to-get-to-the-high cage routine. Great cartoon.
