So, in this clip of Little red riding hood, she is personified as the woman of the wolf's dreams. This cartoon is seemingly popular simply because of the song being played as well as the character's used.
The song, "Lil' Red Riding Hood" by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs, was teamed together with a Warner Bros. cartoon clip of "Little Red Hot Riding Hood". In this clip created by cartoonist, Tex Avery, Little Red Riding Hood is the eye candy, while the wolf is the lustful male figure at this jazz club. In this sense, because of its release date and the times they were in, the clip was censored, chopped up and eventually created to be something else. Created in the early 40's, this lustful cartoon clip caused major social woes concerning the sexy image of women and the animalistic rage of men and their hormones.
personally, i thought the cartoon was comical. I can remember seeing this clip on a golden, classic type dvd with many older cartoons my dad purchased for "us youngin's". But now that i'm older, i can definitely see the sociological and communal effect it would have on the youth of that time. Overall, i think the combination of the song and the video clip are perfect! Not only does the song depict the clip perfectly, but its the same vice versa. The clip is one speaking of sensuality and longing, while the song is speaking of a more modern sense of longing.
I believe the life and tutelage of Little Red Riding Hood to be alive and ever growing....
