Revision as of 03:29, 15 September 2018
Peck Up Your Troubles is a 1945 Merrie Melodies, silent animated short featuring Sylvester and directed by Friz Freleng.
Plot
Sylvester is determined to get a woodpecker that just moved in, high in a tree. He climbs, but the bird greases the tree; he starts to cut it down, but a mean dog stops him (this becomes a running gag). Several other attempts follow; at one point, he puts his paw into the bird's home, and the bird puts a tomato there; Sylvester squishes it, and the bird dresses as an angel to torment him, but Sylvester sees through the disguise. Finally, Sylvester tries to blow up the tree; the dog again intervenes. Sylvester gets the dynamite off the tree and puts out the fuses, but the bird has lit them again, and now Sylvester really becomes an angel.

Trivia
Censorship
- On Cartoon Network and Boomerang in the United States, the part where Sylvester holds the gun to his head and attempts to shoot himself after the "angel" woodpecker gives him the gun (only for Sylvester to realize he's been duped and blast the woodpecker in the rear end) was cut to remove the short scene where the gun goes off and Sylvester ducks before he blasts the woodpecker in the rear end.[1] This scene however airs uncensored on overseas Cartoon Network and Boomerang channels, as evident in the video on the page here.
Notes
- The little woodpecker would reappear in A Peck o' Trouble in 1953.
- This is the first cartoon where Sylvester chases birds for food. This is also the first cartoon where Sylvester doesn't speak.
- The woodpecker was originally set to be a recurring character who would be paired with Sylvester by Friz Freleng, but after taking over Bob Clampett's unproduced 4th Tweety cartoon project (which pairs Tweety with Sylvester for the first time), Freleng decided that the woodpecker will be replaced by Tweety as Sylvester's most prominent co-star. Although the idea was initially objected by producer Eddie Selzer, Selzer then allowed Freleng to use Tweety in place of the woodpecker, which ultimately earned the WB cartoon studio its first Academy Award.
- This marks Sylvester's first death. He would later die in I Taw A Putty Tat, Back Alley Oproar, Mouse Mazurka, Tweety's S.O.S., Tweety's Circus, Trick or Tweet, Tweet and Lovely, Rebel Without Claws, and The Wild Chase.
Like most reissued Merrie Melodies at the time, the original closing card was kept.
- This is Sylvester's second appearance. In this cartoon, he is coloured a little differently to his classic black and white colouring - here he is black and light grey.
- This is the first appearance of Hector the Bulldog. However, a dog with the same appearance, Butch, appears in a 1944 short Birdy and the Beast.
Dubbed Version
- The USA dubbed version has red borders, and the EU dubbed version has blue borders. Both dubbed versions keep the original ending card, unlike most dubbed version cartoons because the cartoon has no dialogue.
- The Russian dub on 2*2 has the 1941-55 MM ending theme instead of the special rendition first heard in The Wacky Wabbit.[2]
