The Same Old Stuff Over and Over

Red Riding Hood, the Wolf and Grandma complain to the narrator of Tex Avery’s Red Hot Riding Hood about Hollywood cartoon studios doing their story the same old way. The gripes end with Grandma shouting “It smells!” Here are some random frames by Ed Love. Great expressions and perspective animation.



“Okay, okay!” yells the narrator. Grandma is surprised her anger has provoked such displeasure from the narrator.



This is yet another cartoon you have to freeze frame to see Love at work. He has some character movement on twos, some on ones. He was still doing the same kind of thing with Mr. Jinks and other limited animated characters at Hanna-Barbera in 1959. Unfortunately he’s not credited on the cartoon, nor are Preston Blair and Ray Abrams, who animated with him.
