Hilarity Ensues is no longer a trope.


The cartoon then takes us to Hollywood, where the Big Bad Wolf is now a womanizer who frequents nightclubs, Red is now an [[MsFanservice incredibly attractive]] singer and dancer, and her Granny is a hotel/implied brothel owner and an (apparently) oversexed AbhorrentAdmirer of Wolfie once she sees him. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity does indeed ensue from there.]]

"Red Hot Riding Hood" is an animated cartoon short subject, directed by Creator/TexAvery and released on May 8, [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1943]] by Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer. It is one of Avery's most popular cartoons, inspiring several of his own "sequel" shorts (which really were just shorts with a similar plot and the same characters, though notably Droopy was involved with many of the other shorts Wolfie and Red appear in) as well as influencing other cartoons and feature films for years afterward.

* HeadAndHipPose: Red does this pose at the very end of her song as well as while sitting at Wolfie's table.



* LoveCanMakeYouGonk: As seen in the page image

* LoveCanMakeYouGonk: As seen in Wolfie practically loses his mind upon seeing Red. The same can be applied to Granny when she sees the page imageWolf.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: When Wolfie chases after Red to Granny's house, Wolfie arrives, but Red is nowhere to be seen until we return to the night club again. One can only assume that Wolfie somehow passed Red to Granny's penthouse and Red was incapable of entering after Granny locked the door.

* FierySensuality: The eponymous character is a HotterAndSexier version of Literature/LittleRedRidingHood who has grown up to be a singer and dancer. She is able to drive every man in the room mad with desire, ''especially'' [[AbhorrentAdmirer the Big Bad Wolf]].

Tastes Like Diabetes is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


The story begins as a typical [[TastesLikeDiabetes cutesy]] [[DisneyFication retelling]] of "Literature/LittleRedRidingHood"--that is, [[NoFourthWall until the Big Bad Wolf and even Red and her Grandma become annoyed at the narrator]] and complain about how stale and overused the premise is, [[AnimatedActors demanding a new take on the story]]. The narrator finally gives in to their demands--cue the ''second'' title card quoted above.

* ShoutOut:
** ''Film/TheMask'' contains quite a few shout-outs to this short in particular. The main character is even shown watching the short on TV, and he owns a Wolfie statuette.
** Creator/AndreNorton had a line in one of her books where a character reacts to an unexpected discovery by quoting the second title card.
** The line "Something new has been added" originally comes from a slogan for Old Gold cigarettes in the 1940s.
** The character of Lena Hyena from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' was mostly inspired by the Grandma character from this short.
** In the film adaptation of ''Film/IntoTheWoods'', the Wolf is designed to look like the one in the original cartoon.



* WolverinePublicity: Due to Red's inherently appealing nature and popularity, her appearances on the WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}} DVD set are played up to where she is prominently displayed in much of the packaging, even though she only appears in ''two'' of the cartoons included on the set!

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Along with the fancy gifts that the Wolf offers to Red, she's impressed when he includes promising a set of new tires. It's a reminder that the cartoon was produced during the war years when shortages made new tires in limited supply and much more expensive.
