Friz Freleng was fond of the Warner mobster films & thought it would make for some nice toons to use some gangsters, so he created the shifty tough talking no-nonsense dwarf with a big hat, Rocky & his organization Crime Inc. In this story written by Warren Foster, the little criminal is paired with one his idiot henchmen, Nick. The two steal a rare yellow bird named Tweety. In a Looney Tune, it’s never that simple however. Rocky & Nick have competition in the form of a big sloppy tuxedo cat named Sylvester who wants the bird just as much as they do.
30 years later this toon is used as part of 1981 Friz Freleng’s Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.
Ralph James is the Narrator & Mel Blanc does all the other voices.
Music Director Carl Stalling uses his Warner punctuations as well as quotes from Warren’s At Your Service Madame, If Someone Had Told Me, America Speaks & none other than Sousa’s The Washington Post.
