- Quotes
[opening lines, after quick musical introduction and opening credits]
Narrator: Good evening, kiddies. Once upon a time, Little Red Riding Hood was skipping through the woods. She was going to her grandmother's house to take grandma a basket of nice goodies. But waiting in the woods was a mean old wolf ready to pounce upon poor Little Red Riding Hood.
Wolf: Oh, stop it! "Waiting in the woods was the mean old wolf ready to pounce on poor Red Riding Hood." I'm fed up with that sissy stuff. It's the same old story over and over. If you can't do this thing a new way, Bud, I quit!
Red: [Little Red Riding Hood throws her basket, to the ground angrily] Me too. Every cartoon studio in Hollywood has done it this way.
Grandma: Yes, I'm plenty sick of it myself.
[All three start complaining at the same time]
Grandma: ...The man smells!
Narrator: Ok! Ok! All right! We'll do the story a new way!

The story begins with a standard Little Red Riding Hood story, but the characters rebel against the standard staging and demand a fresh approach. Set in a contemporary urban setting, Red is a sexy adult nightclub entertainer, while Wolf is a debonair skirt chaser in love with Red. Red escapes Wolf, but his oversexed grandmother locks him in her apartment, chasing after him at every door.
In contrast to my favorite cartoon character, Betty Boop, who was a character who exuded a sweetly innocent style, Red was pure sex, existing almost exclusively to whip the Wolf (a metaphor for males in general) into a carnal frenzy. With this short as her introduction, Red was the sexy distraction for the oversexed, lusting "Wolf" character that was introduced earlier in the 1942 short "Blitz Wolf." She drove the sex-crazed wolf to do all the things that were to become trademarks of Avery's cartoons: the eye-popping, the jaw-dropping, and the gravity-deifying pratfalls. She was so popular that she was brought back for three more cartoons: "Swing Shift Cinderella," "Uncle Tom's Cabana," and "Little Rural Riding Hood." Her cartoons were originally made for the benefit of U. S. GIs and were banned from television for years for being considered racy.
