Character Description

Granny is normally depicted as a nice, good-natured widow through her many appearances. She is highly protective of beloved pet bird Tweety, which is especially evident when he is threatened (usually by Sylvester). Despite her appearance as a harmless, old woman at first, she is shown to be very clever and wise. She is proven to be much smarter and stronger than any character would assume, doing anything to prevent whatever stops in her way.

Granny is also presented as a person with old-fashioned tastes, which extend to the use of transportation (such as riding on vintage automobiles or horse buggies) and inability to relate to present day fads. This was prevalent in her appearances up until the mid-1950s; however, such characteristics were toned down significantly since, as she gained newer jobs apart from her typical role as Tweety's protecter.

She is usually seen wearing circular glasses, a grayish-white hair bun, an old-fashioned schoolmarm dress, and a necklace pendant. The appearance of her clothes varies depending on her appearances, usually ranging from a singular blue dress, to a white, long-sleeved shirt with a purple skirt.

Behind the scenes

In popular culture

  • In the Archer episode "Liquid Lunch," Archer says that On the Town was Bea Benaderet's film debut, but when the others don't know who he's talking about, he tries to jog their memories by telling them she was Tweety's Granny.
  • In the Velma episode "Private Velmjamin," Fred wants to return a nativity miniature model with the Looney Tunes to Father O'Rourke, after Fred briefly became Catholic. Elmer Fudd is baby Jesus, Sylvester is Joseph, Granny is Mary, and Daffy, Porky, and Bugs are the three wise men.
