4"Red Riding Hoodwinked" is a 1955 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes cartoon directed by Creator/FrizFreleng and starring WesternAnimation/SylvesterTheCatAndTweetyBird.

6This parody of Little Red Riding Hood is set in (for its day) the present day. Grandma and The Big Bad Wolf are present as always, but now (especially as this Red Riding Hood is taking Tweety on her bus trip) Sylvester is getting in on the act.

11* BadassBoast: When Grandma gets tossed out of her cottage in the woods. "One of these days, POW! Right in the kisser!"
12* BatteringRam: How the Big Bad Wolf uses a small tree log on the back door of Grandma's House.
13* TheBigBadWolf: As with other ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' portrayals, the Wolf isn't particularly competent at being a BigBad.
14* BossSubtitles: When the Big Bad Wolf appears, a sign appears saying just that. The Wolf shoos it away because the audience already knows who he is.
15* {{Bowdlerization}}: On ABC's ''The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show'', the part where the Big Bad Wolf beats Sylvester with a bucket (after Sylvester splashes the Wolf with water from it) was cut from five times to one and a half.
16* BrickJoke: When Sylvester and the Wolf get punched out of the bus, we learn that Grandma made good on her vow.
17-->'''Grandma (now in bus driver uniform):''' "I told him, one of these days..."\
18'''Tweety and Red Riding Hood (in unison):''' "POW! Right in the kisser!"
19* {{Determinator}}s: Sylvester and the Wolf let nothing stand between them and their prizes, not even locked doors.
20* DamselInDistress: Well, downplayed on Red Riding Hood's part. While nowhere near LittleRedFightingHood status, she proves very helpful in the crisis she and Tweety face as Sylvester and the Wolf chase them throughout the house. They sidestep their pursuers, rush back into the house, and lock the door. While their pursuers are distracted by their objective, she hightails it out of the house with Tweety in tow.
21* ForgetfulJones: A RunningGag for the Wolf. He has trouble remembering Red Riding Hood’s name and other details from the story. A hanging sign covers the first one ("you mean Red Riding Hood?"), Tweety the next, and Sylvester the remaining two.
22* GetOut: The wolf occupies the house by pushing Grandma out.
23-->'''Wolf''': Out-out-out-out-out-out-out-out! Aaannnnd stay out!
24* ImprovisedWeapon: Sylvester hammers a long piece of rubber material on each side of the front door and places a boulder within. He hasn’t realized that the Big Bad Wolf has already hammered down the back door when he launches.
25* NeverMessWithGranny: Par for the course in these cartoons. In this case, Granny, having been evicted from her house by the Wolf, threatens to give him what for if she sees him again. In the end, she takes a job as a bus driver, and when the Wolf and Sylvester try to get on in pursuit of Red and Tweety, Granny punches Sylvester and the Wolf off the bus.
26* OpenSaysMe: It takes a while, but the wolf’s improvised Battering Ram works. Too bad he didn’t take Sylvester’s slingshot into account.
27* PaperThinDisguise: As usual, Red Riding Hood doesn’t appear to see through the wolf's disguise, at least at the start.
28* ShoutOut: Granny [[BorrowedCatchPhrase borrows]] Ralph Kramden's CatchPhrase from ''Series/TheHoneymooners'' for her BadassBoast. In the end of the cartoon, she's revealed to be a bus driver, same as Ralph. She makes good on her threat related to the catch phrase there.
