As long as there have been mascots for theme parks, there have been
areas to meet those characters in the parks. Quite often those areas
have featured special photo areas depicting where those characters
"live".

In 1999 as a part of the "War on
Lines," Looney Tunes Seaport was added as a whole new children's area featuring
the Looney Tunes characters and a few of their houses.

Perhaps the most elaborate of the
character houses built was Granny's House. The brightly colored little
house featured an elaborate stone chimney, both inside and out, with each stone and the grout
in bright candy colors.
A large bright red doorbell, located just to the left of the front
doorway, signaled the arrival of company at Granny's House. |

The little house
was jam-packed with two dimensional props including pictures of Tweety,
Sylvester, and Granny on the walls. Granny's sleeping dog Spike
the bulldog was also featured as a two dimensional cutout close to the
floor sleeping next to a bright yellow doorway.
While Granny's House
was supposed to also be the home to Tweety and Sylvester, the fiberglass
figures were featured across the way at Daffy Duck's Lighthouse.
The area never featured a figured of Granny herself. |

The faux bookcase
included several literary works of art such as "Tweety and the
Beanstalk," "The Unexpected Pests," "Sandy Claws," and "Life With
Feathers."
The lines of the
house were designed to look like a cartoon drawing with random angles
and curves. With hardly any right angles in the entire
structure, Granny's House was very reminiscent of the buildings found in
Disneyland's Toontown.

Over time the little house has
faded and been repainted. The remote location of the house at the far
edge of the Looney Tunes Seaport area has meant that it goes unnoticed
by some guests, but odds are any child that has visited this cartoon
world has taken notice of this bright and fun playhouse. |
