Little Red Riding Rabbit (1944) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Classic Merrie Melodies short is a retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood story except here we have Bugs Bunny being what the wolf is wanting. A lot of people seem to be rather hit and miss on this short but I've always found it to be quite funny from start to finish. Some put down the granddaughter as being too annoying but I think that's the entire point and it does pay off well in the ending where things get mixed up a little. The action between the wolf and Bugs is pure classic with a number of great scenes including the wonderful one where Bugs puts a hot coal inside the wolf's pants. The animation is extremely well done and there's enough action for two movies.

Bugs Bunny is in Little Reds wicker picnic basket as a present for her Grandma. But when they get there a wolf is in the house and no grandma in sight. Bugs and the wolf naturally go at it, but are constantly interrupted by an obnoxious Little Red who really wants to get her lines in. This is one of my all time favorite Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny shorts and the scene where the wolf is singing and dancing only to be interrupted by Little Red which he just casually slams the door in her face and goes right back to singing and dancing. That gets me laughing every single time I see it. GREAT stuff. This animated short can be seen on Disc 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2.My Grade: A+

Easily one of the top 10 Looney Tunes cartoons ever made! It's got it all - great characters, quotable lines, zany action, and a belly laugh every 10 seconds or so! Highlights: Red's perfectly annoying singing (and scatting) of "Five O'Clock Whistle"; the Wolf chasing the group of smaller wolves from Grandma's bed with an admonishing "Take a powder", and the grumbling of the wolves as they leave; and last but certainly not least, Bugs getting the Wolf to join him in singing "Old Grey Bonnet", then the Wolf getting distracted and looking away, Bugs running off, and the Wolf turning back to continue singing the song BY HIMSELF: "Put on your old grey bonnet with the BLU-"!! Priceless...

Warner Brothers' made some of the greatest cartoons of all time and this is one of them. Absolutely hilarious and the quotes are classic like "HEY GRANDMA!..." or "...I'll do it. But I'll probably hate myself in the morning." Or the scene where Bugs gets the wolf singing "Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet". God, it's great stuff!!! Anyone who knows this cartoon doesn't need any explanation of the above. Another great one from this era is "Hold The Lion".
