"The Jet Cage" is a 1962 Looney Tunes short staring Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird. It was directed by Friz Freleng.Tweety longs to fly outside with the other birds, but due to being small and helpless, he'd be easy prey for Sylvester. Fortunately, Granny discovers an ad for new jet cages, allowing Tweety to fly outside while still being protected by a cage. Sylvester is undeterred by this and fully intends to get his claws on Tweety, no matter what he has to go through.Also of note, composer Milt Franklyn died during production, leaving only the first third of the cartoon scored. His replacement, William Lava, finished the score — beginning with Sylvester climbing into a tree with a butterfly net — uncredited. | |

Always Need What You Gave Up | |
| The Jet Cage / int_3d944d55 | comment |
Always Need What You Gave Up: At one point, Sylvester chases after Tweety using flaps to fly. He catches up with Tweety and gloats about how he has him now. Tweety points out that he can't get him because his hands are full, so Sylvester nonchalantly tosses the flaps aside — only to forget that without the flaps, he is no longer airborne and takes another fall. Whoops. | |

And the Adventure Continues: The cartoon ends with Sylvester bandaged after failing to catch Tweety. However, he remains undeterred as he intends to become a flyer himself to give Tweety a run for his money. | |

What a Drag | |
| The Jet Cage / int_8c52888c | comment |
What a Drag: When Sylvester casts a fishing line with a magnet attached, it manages to catch the base of the cage. However, after a very slow and sputtering start, Tweety is able to bust a move and drag Sylvester through the streets of town. Ends after a head-on collision with a tram, the crash of which is not shown but which (with the line being shown limping straight down) Tweety was clearly privy to. | |

Recycled Animation | |
| The Jet Cage / int_b0b8970e | comment |
Recycled Animation: It's brief, but the animation of Sylvester building his rocket is taken from Ain't She Tweet. As such, Sylvester briefly resembles his appearance from ten years earlier. In addition, the animation of Sylvester being dragged down the street by his fishing line is reused from A Bird in a Bonnet. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: At one point, Sylvester tries to blast Tweety out of the sky with a Nike rocket, but it overshoots its target and, unsurprisingly, blasts Sylvester instead. | |
