Synopsis
This sensual adaptation of the old fairy story soon liberates its principals from their cute Disney-style forest and slaps them right in the middle of swanky Manhattan. Grandma's a nymphomaniac swinger, and her rustic cottage home a hip penthouse pad. Little Red has become a red-hot singer-stripper; the Wolf is a model of lupine lechery; and the forest is supplanted by a big-city nightclub as the enchanted place of forbidden sexuality. The Wolf tries to pull the old Red Riding Hood gag in order to meet up with Little Red, but Grandma has other ideas.

Red Hot Riding Hood
Of course, everyone knows this is by far the best cartoon ever made. I saw it years ago (1943) and never forgot it.
Red Hot Riding Hood
Red Hot Riding Hood is super cool I love it because its super when the wolf whistles at as if he were in love with , but actually Grandma loves for kissing her in the lips.
Red Hot Riding Hood
Possibly the closest to perfection a cartoon has ever been!! Awesome!!!
Red Hot Riding Hood
Stunningly inventive, brilliantly funny and subversive cartoon from a team (Avery, Quimby & Bradley) at the height of their creative powers.
Red Hot Riding Hood
A masterpiece. There's no better description of this cartoon. The introduction of the "Red" character will forever be a milestone in animation history. You will rarely find a better animated character; Red's singing performance has to be seen. A masterpiece, indeed.
