Of wolves and red heads

Little Rural Riding Hood (1949)

Directed by Tex Avery this cartoon has voice acting from Colleen Collins, Pinto Colvig and Imogene Lynn. A hillbilly wolf has the hots for a local red head but goes to visit his cousin in the big city after seeing what the girls in the city look like.

This cartoon relies heavily on stereotypes, ones which are probably questionable to modern audiences, but for the most part it is the male characters that are the but of the jokes. Given this is a short film the plot is simple as our the jokes, none of which stand out especially beyond being basic slapstick really. I am not sure why this is so highly rated but it is not a bad watch either.


3/5
