Red Riding Hoodwinked (1955)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Must See Movie...

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Looney Tunes did their take on Red Riding Hood quite a bit, so it makes sense they would do it with the Tweety & Sylvester series since it has Granny. Surprisingly, Tweety is not Red in this. Red is her own character and she's bringing Tweety to Granny as a gift. Sylvester follows after the girl, hoping as always to get Tweety for his dinner. But the Big Bad Wolf enters the picture and it becomes a contest between Sylvester and the wolf to see who can get to Granny's house first. Nice music from Milt Franklyn. Excellent voice work from the always reliable Mel Blanc. June Foray takes over as Granny here, replacing Bea Benaderet and giving Granny a more gruff voice. Her Granny is also doing a Ralph Kramden impression for some reason. The animation is lovely and colorful, if a little sketchy in places. The dialogue has some kick and the gags are pretty funny, too. Sylvester and Tweety are both in fine form. The Wolf is a fun character with a bad memory. He looks a little like a mangy dog and sounds like Foghorn Leghorn's cousin. Definitely one fans of the Sylvester & Tweety series will enjoy. And if you are someone who doesn't normally like Tweety, as there are unfortunately some out there, then you might still like it as most of the humor comes from Sylvester and the Wolf.

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

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.

Maybe "Red Riding Hoodwinked" wasn't the best cartoon that the Looney Tunes creative team ever made, but it was pretty funny. Little Red Riding Hood is on her way to Granny's house. The Big Bad Wolf wants to eat the two of them, and Sylvester wants to eat Little Red Riding Hood's present for Granny: Tweety Bird. At first, Sylvester and the Wolf are rivals in trying to get to the house, but they are forced to join up once the girl arrives. But even then, Granny has a few tricks up (or should I say "in front of") her sleeve.I think that this the only time when the Wolf can't remember Little Red Riding Hood's name. Well sufferin' succotash!
