Gift Wrapped (1952) Review: A Hilarious Holiday Classic Featuring Sylvester and Tweety!

In this episode, I review the classic Looney Tunes short 'Gift Wrap' from 1952, featuring Sylvester, Tweety, and Granny. Joined by my good friend Matt Hunter, we discuss the key elements of the cartoon, including its release history, animation details, and voice acting trivia. We highlight the work of background artist Irv Wyner and delve into voice actor Dawes Butler’s first credit in a Looney Tunes short. We also explore the dynamic between the characters and the humour that makes this short a Christmas favourite.
