Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Tired of always playing the same roles, Little Red Riding Hood, her grandmother and the Wolf demand a new version of the tale. The story then plays out in a more contemporary urban environment, with Little Red Riding Hood working as a pin-up girl in a night club.

A great and fun Tex Avery cartoon as he envisions a world in which the three main characters of the classic fairy tale are tired of doing the same old-same old and decide to try a way different approach. A fine extra on the blu of 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' (1946 version).
