Little Red Walking Hood is a
Merrie Melodies cartoon short, released in 1937 byWarner Bros. Directed byTex Avery .The cartoon features the basic plot of
Little Red Riding Hood , with a few twists and oddball Tex Avery-like gags, such as Red displaying aKatharine Hepburn persona, or Grandma ordering a case of gin, while the wolf waits impatiently for her to get off the phone so he can chase her again.The cartoon marks the second appearance of Tex Avery's Egghead character, who is a running gag throughout the cartoon, and in the end, mentions he's the hero and knocks the wolf out with a mallet.
Instead of watercolors, the backgrounds for this cartoon were rendered in colored pencil, giving it a unique visual style.
