Tweety's High-Flying Adventure is a 2000 direct-to-video animated film produced by Tom Minton and James T. Walker, written by Tom Minton, Tim Cahill and Julie McNally, directed by James T. Walker, Karl Toerge and Charles Visser, starring Sylvester and Tweety. It also features Lola Bunny (in a cameo as an anchorwoman) in her only adult appearance outside of Space Jam. The movie is an updated spoof of Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days. It was the first (and, so far, the only) long form animated film featuring Tweety in the lead role. Its original working title was "Around the World in Eighty Puddytats", which remains on the end credit roll as a title of one of its three major songs. Many of the key creative people from the 1995-2000 TV series "The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries" also worked on "Tweety's High-Flying Adventure", which commenced shortly after the series wrapped production in May of 1999. Co-producer Tom Minton instigated the project, which was only the second internally produced direct-to-video animated film done at the Warner Bros. Animation division in Sherman Oaks, California.

[edit] Plot
When Colonel Rimfire announces at the Looney Club about his beliefs that cats are the most intelligent animals (after his many plans were foiled by Cool Cat), Granny, hoping to raise enough money to save a nearby children's park, makes a wager that her Tweety can fly around the world in 80 days, collecting the pawprints of 80 cats in the process. Sylvester, still hoping to make Tweety his personal snack, is incensed at the thought of some other cat getting the little bird first and vows to follow Tweety around the world and catch the canary himself. When he gets really close, Tweety jumps into a boat. With half of his mission complete, he goes into an ancient building. It turns out almost all of them are cats. Getting away safely, Tweety completes his mission, and Granny is able to save the park.
