Birds with Teeth
July 14th, 2006
Doin’ some quick research for “Birdbrain Week’ (kicking off Monday morning), and I began to ponder the phenomenon of cartoon birds and their reappearing, and disappearing teeth. Some stars like Woody Woodpecker and Daffy Duck can grow a full set of choppers in a nanosecond, only to have them vanish just as quickly. On the other hand, other characters like Baby Huey seem far less likely to flash the ivory on any occasion, for any reason (well, I guess he is a baby…) Not sure I’m totally hip with whatever the rules are on this issue…
Anyway, I thought I’d throw that out for discussion. Anyone out there have their own favorite animated bird teeth moment?

I can’t think of any cartoons where Tweety Bird showed any teeth. Can anybody else?

Daffy Duck would suddenly have teeth to say certain words, or
sometimes to bite into something. I don’t think Donald Duck ever had
teeth just to talk with, but he would show teeth to make him look
angrier, like when he turned into the devil at the end of “Soups On.
