Sweetie Pie

Sweetie Bird is a cartoon character from the Warner Bros. animated television series Tiny Toon Adventures. She is one of the supporting characters on the show. Sweetie is voiced by Candi Milo. Sweetie is a young, pink female canary with a blue bowed ribbon in her hair. She attends ACME Looniversity and lives in ACME Acres. Her mentor and favorite teacher is Tweety.

Sweetie's pink coloring, devious grin, and somewhat mean-spirited personality seem to be a throwback to Tweety's early appearances from the Bob Clampett cartoons. Sweetie's personality tended toward behaving in an amiable manner, but was prone to a mischievous streak when dealing with her main enemy and longtime pursuer, Furrball the cat. Sweetie is voiced similarly to the late comedian Judy Tenuta: speaking in a liquid trill followed by a throaty screech (when excited).

In one short, Sweetie is seen to be owned by Elmyra Duff, who also owns Furrball, setting up the familiar scenario seen in earlier Sylvester and Tweety cartoons. Sweetie constantly outsmarts the predatory Furrball by making him look bad in front of his usually sweet-tempered owner, to the point of his eviction from the apartment. In the episode Go Sweetie Hyde, she accidentally transforms into a giant, grotesque bird-like monster and wants to chase and eat Furrball (a nod to the cartoon Hyde and Go Tweet). In her monster form, she is voiced by Rob Paulsen and has a British accent. In the episode segment from New Class Day, titled The Just-Us League Of Supertoons, Sweetie was a member of the mighty superhero team, The Just-Us League of Supertoon, where she was Pink Canary, a parody of Black Canary. Occasionally, Sweetie is shown to be running after Bookworm, in which case she is constantly outsmarted, or simply has bad luck.

She reappears in Tiny Toons Looniversity and is voiced by YouTuber Tessa Netting.[1] Sweetie is more of a main character in this series. She is less devious and has a punk look and personality. She is colorblind, likes having her side of the dorm room be messy, becomes Babs’ best friend, and is the daughter of a female same-sex couple Suzie and Sabita, as well as being an only child. She is also a feminist and has purple feathers rather than pink feathers.
