After some searching, I found a social cartoon centered around the classic “Little Red Riding Hood”. This version is called “Little Red Riding Rabbit” directed by I. Freleng, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. This version is a Looney Tunes cartoon, featuring the classic Bugs Bunny. In this cartoon, Little Red Riding Hood is on her way to bring her grandma “a little bunny rabbit to have”. This rabbit is Bugs Bunny. While she is on her way, the wolf switches the shortcut sign around so the little girl takes the long path through the mountains, while he takes the actual shortcut to grandma's house. On her door, grandma left a sign saying she is out working, so the wolf takes this opportunity to go inside. He puts on grandma’s clothes and goes to hop in bed, but there are a bunch of other wolves dressed as grandma waiting for little red. The wolf kicks out the other wolves and waits for little red to come with the rabbit. When she arrives, the wolf is only interested in eating Bugs Bunny, despite Little Red trying to say her lines, just like in the original tale. Bugs Bunny and the wolf kept kicking her out of the house, until finally she annoys them one last time and they put hot coals under her while she holds lots of heavy things. Bugs Bunny and the wolf eventually share a carrot while watching the little girl struggle.
I loved this cartoon, because I love Looney Tunes. I thought this version was very comical and moved at a fast pace. It put a new spin on the original cartoon and gave it more life, in my opinion, compared to the original version.
