Granny

Granny's History

Granny is generally good-natured and is extremely protective of her beloved canary Tweety. Her over-protectiveness becomes apparent whenever Tweety is threatened (usually by Sylvester, a hungry "puddytat" who prefers eating birds over cat food). Although having the appearance of a kindly old woman, she has demonstrated her cleverness.

Granny has gone through several design changes. The earliest version of her appears in the 1937 cartoon "Little Red Walking Hood". Another version with black hair appeared in 1941's "The Cagey Canary" and another changed design is seen in 1943's "Hiss and Make Up". She received several other makeovers from 1940 to 1960, such as in "Canary Row" (1950) and "A Pizza Tweety-Pie" (1958). She is usually the owner of Tweety and also serves as his protector. Sylvester often finds a way to break into her house for the sole purpose of finding a meal. In later cartoons, she appears to be the owner of both Tweety and Sylvester. Granny appears to be unmarried, or possibly a widow, since she lives by herself
