Red Hot Riding Hood is an acclaimed animated cartoon directed by Tex Avery and released in 1943 by MGM Studios.
The story begins with the standard version of Red Riding Hood until the characters suddenly rebel at this cliched staging and demand a fresh approach.
The annoyed narrator cedes to their demands and starts the story again in a dramatically different arrangement. Now, the story is set in a contemporary urban setting where Red is an sexy adult nightclub entertainer, the Wolf is a debonair skirt chaser and Grandma is an oversexed man chaser.
The most famous element is the musical scene where Red performs and the Wolf reacts in highly lustful wild takes . Those reactions were considered so energetic that the censors demanded cuts. However, a military officer arranged for an uncut version for military audiences overseas.
