Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great laughs
This video falls six seconds short of just an hour. The eight shorts on this video are great. Red Hot Riding Hood is my favorite. The laughs are great and sometimes hidden. If you like cartoons from that era, then this is for you.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Wonderful fun
This is a short tape, just an hour or so, but enjoyable in many ways. Of course, it has a variety of Avery's outrageous characters, including the screwy squirrel and others. It also shows Avery's update of classic fairy tales, with Red Riding Hood appearing as a Las Vegas-style showgirl.

The animation is also an interesting snapshot of the WWII era in which it was made. There are many references to "ration points" and then-current entertainers. It makes for an amusing history lesson, ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Something strange here
The version I purchased (used) is only 44 minutes long and is missing both the Screwy Squirrel and Droopy cartoons. I'm desparately seeking Screwy Squirrel, so I guess I'll have to investigate this inconsistency.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very Funny!!!
This tape has one of the most funniest Tex Avery cartoons ever made! This tape includes RED HOT RIDING HOOD, ONE HAMS'S FAMILY, HAPPY GO NUTTY (Screwball squirel), SLAP HAPPY LION, WILD AND WOOLFY (Droopy), VERTRILOQUIST CAT (Spike), BIG HEEL WATHA (Screwball Squirel), and NORTHWEST HOUNDED POLICE

They are about 50 8 minutes long each. The tape is 1 hour long. It is very funny.
Enjoy the cross-eued world of Tex Avery, where everything is for laughs and nothing is sacred!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Funny!
Red Hot Riding Hood Of The Screwball Classics are funny, and you should make Red Hot Riding Hood as a movie, and that is why I gave it 5 stars.
