Father of the Bird is a 1997traditionally animatedLooney Tunesshort film directed by Stephen A. Fossati and produced byChuck Jones.[1] This short only had a limited theatrical release and was the only other Sylvester short Jones' team worked on in which the character speaks (the other beingThe Scarlet Pumpernickel (the only one of the two directed by Jones himself)). This was also the final Sylvester cartoon Chuck Jones was involved with. It was also the finalLooney Tunes/Merrie Melodies short to have Jones involved in and to usetraditional cel animation.
