Hyde and Go Tweet Titles

Theatrical animation studios were slowly winding down as 1960 approached, but there were still plenty of creative people working in the business.

Here’s an idea I really like. The titles to Friz Freleng’s Hyde and Go Tweet (1960) are enscribed on windows on a building. Items appropriate to each name are seen inside the windows. You’ll have to click on this to see it better.



The scene then pans right to another building where Sylvester is resting on the window ledge outside the office of Dr. Jekyll. This was the third and final “Jekyll” cartoon made by Friz Freleng; the other two were Doctor Jerkyl’s Hide (1954) and Hyde and Hare (1955).

You’ll notice there is no writer credited on this short. The internet says it was written by Mike Maltese. He had left for Hanna-Barbera in November 1958, so he either wrote this before he left or did it under the table. Or the internet could be wrong. It could happen, you know.

Late note: Thad Komorowski's research is that Freleng wrote this himself, hence no writer credit.
