A'''''King-Size Canary''''' is a landmark 1947 [[Tex Avery]] cartoon made during his MGM tenure during [[The Golden Age of Animation]], voted no. 10 on [[The 50 Greatest Cartoons]] list. This oneshot short is centered around a hungry cat who, in an attempt to get more meat out of a pea size canary snack ("Well... I'm sick."), pours a bottle of Jumbo Gro Plant Growth formula on him-only to make him grow to gargantuan proportions. The tables keep turning and turning as one of the other keeps drinking more of the formula as their battle continues. Obviously, [[Hilarity Ensues]].
 
The plot was recycled for the [[Sylvester Cat and Tweety Bird]] short ''Hyde and Go Tweet'' in which Tweety Bird accidentally drank [[Jekyll and Hyde|Dr. Jekyll's formula]], much to Sylvester's confusion.
