Diagonaldi Very well executed
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . Alzheimer's Disease, and suggests that Future Generations will have to kick the Baby Boomers off their Free Ride Medicare Bus by Any Means Necessary. Standing in for all Millenials, Little Red Riding Hood packs HER potential progeny--symbolized by Tweety Bird--onto what Warner labels as a "City Transit" bus headed for the split-level forest home of Red's Granny. Since "City" buses have NEVER been routed through American woods, Warner is telling viewers this is NOT a normal mass transit vehicle. In fact, this bus represents the Money Train of America (MTA), which carries U.S. Citizens to Head Start, to School, to College, to National Parks, to Space; from Sesame Street to Arlington National Cemetery. Warner depicts the Big Bad Wolf of RED RIDING HOODWINKED as a Baby Boomer with just one thought left in his addled brain: crashing the MTA taxpayer money-stream bus. But Warner shows that Red Riding's Granny has too many of HER faculties left to be hoodwinked in this fashion. She literally kicks the wolf in his kisser to eject him from the MTA (for which she's the bus driver). Warner is clearly saying that when the Wolf of Alzheimer's knocks at America's door, don't shell out a taxpayer nickel unless it can pass a simple comprehension test!
TheLittleSongbird Perhaps a tad too short, but Red Riding Hoodwinked is still extremely good. Here we get not one or two "adversaries", Sylvester for Tweety and The Big Bad Wolf for Red Riding Hood. I really liked this Looney Tunes twist on Little Red Riding Hood. It had lush animation and good music. It had some terrific dialogue and sight gags, and a focus on the Big Bad Wolf's short term memory. It had appealing characters particularly Big Bad Wolf, a solid story and excellent vocal characterisations from Mel Blanc. So overall, fun and clever, maybe not the best of the lot, but a solid enough cartoon that I recommend if you like fairytale-themed cartoons or either Sylvester and Tweety. Oh and the ending with Granny is hilarious. 9/10 Bethany Cox
slymusic Directed by Friz Freleng, "Red Riding Hoodwinked" is a good Tweety/Sylvester cartoon that is a takeoff of the famous fable. Two protagonists (Tweety and Red Riding Hood) versus two antagonists (Sylvester and the Big Bad Wolf) - now THAT'S a cartoon every kid will want to see! My favorite scenes from "Red Riding Hoodwinked": Upon the Wolf's first appearance, a sign indicates that he is indeed the Big Bad Wolf; the bratty Wolf disposes of the sign, claiming that the audience already knows who he is. When the Wolf and Sylvester both jog toward Grandma's house, the Wolf gives Sly a reproving look, which in turn puts an innocent smile on Sly's face as he does an about-face and jogs away. As the Wolf (dressed in Grandma's clothes) is about to invite Red Riding Hood inside, he looks at Sly (hiding under the bed) and asks, "Quick, what's that kid's name again?" "Red Riding Hoodwinked" can be found along with a bunch of other fairy-tale parodies on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5 Disc 2. It's not a hilarious cartoon, and there's not a whole lot of action, but it's still entertaining. In addition to Mel Blanc, who supplies the voices of Tweety, Sylvester, and the Wolf, June Foray provides the voices of Red Riding Hood, Grandma, and the narrator.
ccthemovieman-1 The big twist in this Looney Tunes version of "Little Red Riding Hood" is having two creatures (instead of one) trying to get "Red." Not only do we have the "big bad wolf," but "Sylvester," too! The latter is there because "Tweety" is being brought in a cage by "Red" to grandma as a present. Sylvester followed the girl and her bird all the way from the city to the forest and is ready to take Grandma's spot in bed to fool the little girl. However, so is the wolf and the two battle it out.This inventive story also featured the new animated artwork of the period, which started, from what I've observed, around this time: 1955. The drawings are modern, now, and look totally different from previous cartoons.One thing that didn't change was the humor by the writers: it was usually clever material, geared to make adults laugh as much, if not more, than kids.Several of the key jokes in this cartoon revolve around the wolf's lack of memory. He can never remember who is who. Anyway, we get two adventures-in-one here: the wolf trying to eat Red and Sylvester trying to eat Tweety! It turns into a hectic last two minutes which includes Granny imitating "Ralph Kramden!"
