However, it's Tweety who gets top billing in 1960's "Hyde & Go Tweet", in which Freleng tweaks the traditional story by making the formula so unpredictable that both Dr. Jekyll, who appears briefly, and Tweety, after a dive into the bottle of formula to escape Sylvester, change at inopportune times during the day. None of this is going on at night.
Edit, 10/4/26: Have to change the video. This excerpt illustrates the unpredictability of the formula...
Freleng's other adaptation featured Bugs Bunny, and if we're lucky, we'll see "Hyde & Hare" before this month is out.

I have always loved this one, it's certainly my favorite Tweety cartoon. I was irate it wasn't included on any of the Golden and Platinum collections, and it wasn't even on the Superstars Tweety & Sylvester DVD. It did show up in a restored compilation movie (can't remember which one), but the beginning and ending are truncated and "new" footage intertwined, so it doesn't really count. What a travesty!
Considering the year it was made, I'd say maybe there's still a chance it gets a full DVD release.
