Watch Red Riding Hoodwinked For Free

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

. . . 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!

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.

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!"

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!
