New Episode

  Speedy debuted in 1953's Cat-Tails for Two, directed by Robert McKimson. This early Speedy was a meaner, skinnier, rattier-looking creation with a sizable gold front tooth. The cartoon featured him outwitting a smart-and-stupid pair of cats, George and Benny (parodies of George and Lenny), aboard a ship.It would be two years before Friz Freleng and animator Hawley Pratt redesigned the character into his modern incarnation for the 1955 Freleng short, Speedy Gonzales. The cartoon features Sylvester the Cat menacing a group of mice while guarding a cheese factory at the Mexican border. The mice call in the plucky, excessively energetic Speedy to save them, and amid cries of "¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!" (Spanish for "Go on! Go on! Up! Up!) courtesy of Mel Blanc, Sylvester soon gets his comeuppance. The cartoon won the 1955 Academy Award for Best Short Subject.

On a beautiful Sunday morning, right after Mass Speedy was on his way to the local market to get some cheese. When he sees Sylvester chasing Tweety Bird along the border. Speedy rushes over there to help him get away from the ferocious cat. Speedy and Tweety get chased into market, they hide in fruits and local junk. While Sylvester is roaming around looking for them. Speedy and Tweety come up with a greet plan to capture the cat. With Speedys great speed and Tweety great knowledge they make a trap. While Sylvester was turned around they were putting the plan into affect. While Twitty is finishing up the trap, Speedy gets Sylvesters attention. Sylvester then chases Speedy threw out the market and right into the trap. "WHAM" Sylvester runs into a fake wall while Speedy went right into the cut out mouse hole. Then Sylvester steps back and Twitty moves the prop. Sylvester still dazed see's what appears to be "Tweety" but does not see the cage around fake bird. He runs in there graps the fake bird and as he's doing that Speedy and Tweety shut the bird cage and lock it shut. Speedy and Tweety chuckle and walk away in the market. Later on that day Tweety had to go back home so Speedy walked him to the border and gives him a sombero and a pancho to remeber him by. They say their final good byes and Speedy dashes off into the sunset yelling "¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!"
