What happens

The Jet Cage is a 1962 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on September 22, 1962, and stars Tweety and Sylvester. The voice actors are Mel Blanc (doing the voices of Sylvester, Tweety and Blackbird) and June Foray (doing the voice for Granny). The animation was by Gerry Chiniquy, Lee Halpern, Art Leonardi, Bob Matz and Virgil Ross. The layouts were designed by Hawley Pratt and the backgrounds by Tom O'Loughlin. The original music was composed by Milt Franklyn, who died during production on April 24, and by an uncredited William Lava, who completed Franklyn's unfinished score. It was the last Tweety short directed by Freleng (Tweety's final Golden Age short, Hawaiian Aye Aye, was directed by Gerry Chiniquy). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
