Trip For Tat is a 1960 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on October 29, 1960, and stars Tweety and Sylvester.[3]
Although it contains a new plot, wherein Granny and Tweety travel to various locations (Paris, Swiss Alps, Japan, and Italy)[4] while Sylvester tries to catch Tweety in every one, the cartoon is mostly made up of footage from previous cartoons. Here are the cartoons which the short borrows animation from, in order of appearance:
- In the Alps, the sequence where Sylvester tries to catch Tweety (wearing spoons for snowshoes) on skis, but then crashed into a tree.
- In Japan, The sequence where Sylvester is chasing Tweety right to the bridge scene, but when he sawed open a hole, he and the cut floorboard fall down from a great height and into a fisherman's boat in the river (with the American fisherman changed to a stereotypical Japanese fisherman).
The only new animation in the short is at the beginning when the world tour is described to Granny, the finger painting sequence, when Sylvester is first in The Alps and Japan, and an alternate look of Tweety watching Sylvester sawing a hole on the bridge.
