An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Little Rural Riding Hood, the 1949 Tex Avery animated cartoon comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby) featuring the voices of Daws Butler, Colleen Collins (in the title role as Country Red), Pinto Colvig, and Imogene Lynn. This was the last of four Tex Avery cartoons featuring the sexy female character "Red", who was a parody of the children's fairy tale character "Little Red Riding Hood", made between 1943 and 1949. Note that the cartoons with this character were deemed "too sexy" for TV, and were not shown there as the other Tex Averys were. Also note that Jessica Rabbit from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" clearly was inspired by this character! Note that Fred "Tex" Avery was one of the greatest legends of Hollywood animation. He started working for Walter Lantz on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in the early 1930s. He moved to Warner Bros. in 1935, where he became a legend, working on the Merry Melodies and Looney Tunes series, creating or developing the best remembered Warner Bros. cartoon characters, including Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, and others. In 1941, after a disagreement, he briefly worked on a series called "Speaking of Animals", where real animals "talked" with animated lips, but he soon signed a contract with MGM, where he did even more wonderful work than before. He developed an entirely new type of cartoon (his MGMs are instantly recognizable as being "Tex Averys"), and they include characters such as Droopy, The Wolf, Red Hot Riding Hood, and many others. He is one of the greatest animators ever, and posters from his cartoons are difficult to obtain, and are highly sought after by collectors! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
