And there’s the familiar “Drop it!” from Granny as she tries to spank Tweety from Sylvester’s stomach.
Art Davis, Gerry Chiniquy, Virgil Ross and Manny Perez are the animators for Friz Freleng in what may be Warner Bros.’ best Christmas cartoon, Gift Wrapped. It’s certainly my favourite of the bunch.
Bea Benaderet is Granny here and Daws Butler was brought in to do some opening narration to set up the plot before disappearing.
Not that it will mean much to anyone, but in 1976 our junior high school rented a stack of 16mm cartoons to show to the student body on the last day before Christmas break. This was the first cartoon they showed, and having only seen it on TV up to that point, it was a real revelation to find out just how clear and brilliant a true color film print could be! I don't know if they were actually using Technicolor prints for 1970s rentals, but it sure didn't look anything like it did on the network Bugs Bunny Show.
