Title card

Tweety and the Beanstalk is the four hundred and twenty-second Merrie Melodies theatrical short. It was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and The Vitaphone Corporation on March 16, 1957. It was written by Warren Foster, produced by Edward Selzer, and directed by Friz Freleng.

When Jack's mother throws out the magic beans used to grow a giant beanstalk, Sylvester gets the ride of his life as the beanstalk carries him up to the giant's realm. Upon entering a giant castle, Sylvester discovers something more valuable than golden coins, golden eggs or even a magic harp: a giant Tweety Bird for a feast.
