Red Riding Hoodwinked(Movie, 1955)

Red Riding Hoodwinked is a 1955 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on October 29, 1955, and stars Tweety and Sylvester. The cartoon was Warner Bros.' latest adaptation of the "Little Red Riding Hood" children's story, with the Big Bad Wolf and Granny playing their respective roles, with Tweety and Sylvester taking appropriate sides. Unlike her previous appearances, the usually cheerful Granny here is a female caricature of Ralph Kramden (of television's The Honeymooners), complete with ill-temperedness and use of the catchphrase, "One of these days, one of these days...POW! Right in the kisser!" As such, "Red Riding Hoodwinked" marked one of the earliest parodies of The Honeymooners. In addition, Granny's appearance is updated: although she appears as a sourpuss here, her physical attributes (such as a less-pronounced chin) would be used in future appearances. Also, Granny's old-fashioned ways would be de-emphasized. The wolf character would re-appear in "Hare-Less Wolf", albeit designed differently and given the name Charles M. Wolf. ()
