It's not really correct to say this was "for kids". In the Golden Age, cartoons were shown in movie theatres, so it was really for "families". Which meant there are the little jokes that kids indeed would find funny, but also there's little bonuses that are directed at the adults in the audience (that are subtle enough for children not to get).
Yes of course it was for kids.... back then. That's why we were adults ontime rather than milkfed kids still staying at home at 27 or so. You hypocritical puritanical nut cases. No wonder you all go see shrinks and the country's going to hell. No wonder the whole world is laughing at us for making such a case out of Clinton's blowjob, and no wonder terrorists are aiming at us. Open your eyes and grow up!
@mdalsted I actually I believe it was tageted at adults (and perhaps teens). Because they used to show cartoons like these while you were waiting for the movie to start in theaters.
@XShadOBabeX How DID people get along without seeing commercials in the theater back then? And they had to suffer thru 6 hours or so of entertainment for a quarter, too.
@bobbiejo9000 At the time this cartoon was made, MM was still Norma Jeanne Baker & was working at the Radioplane factory, helping assemble aerial drones I wish I could tell you who the lady who sings really is...Great Voice from the Greatest Generation!!!
I wonder what it is with Tex Avery's fascination with extremely long cars? In real life, they would possibly be limousines, but even those don't get as long as the cartoons show.
@747flagship beginning in the 1920s luxury cars adopted a long front/short rear styling; high performance engines then were usually straight 8 cylinders, so that helped that styling marques such as Dusenberg, Stutz Packard & Cadillac had two-seater roadsters like that, so it would have been a familiar image for folks at the time to have a playboy-type arriving in such a car
@sbchelldiver also having the suuuper looong front end two seater roadster would have been a caricature of such cars...Hollywood stars who fancied such cars included Gary Cooper, Clark Gable & Errol Flynn, the first two had Duesenberg Supercharged roadsters...
This is a 1952 reissue of the original 1945 release- the animation was reworked at 5:42 because of a topical gag: the wolf originally offered "Red" a carton of cigarettes, as they were hard to come by during World War II (the original version exists).
Put your arms around me, wolfie Hold me tight Good love and cuddle up with all your might Awooo! Would you roll those eyes? I'm bad I just idolize When you look at me my hearts begins to float Then it starts a-bouncin like a beaty boat Oh babe I never knew any wolf like you Put your arms around me daddy Hold me tight Just huddle up and cuddle up with all your might
Preston Blair's animation of "Red" (here, as "the lady that's known as Lou") is some of the greatest animation from the 1940's, basically because the dance numbers were not based upon any live dance footage or "rotoscoping"--it was all straight from Blair's imagination. Simply brilliant!
if red hot was expanded more(commercialy, not the other way) avery would be the name of animation, not disney. avery was a great cartoonist, and a great guy. disney was a prick, and his cartoons weren't funny.
Still, this brings back great memories. Does anyone remember the short when Red is dressed up as a cowgirl? I remember loving that one as a girl, I just can't recall it.
The guy playing the piano at the begining is a vocal parody of Jimmy Durante, he even said one of his trademark lines: "What a repulsive way to make a livin". "The drinks are on the house boys." (Everyone goes to the roof). "T'aint funny McGoo. What corny dialogue." The first half is a variation on "T'aint funny Mcgee", a famous line from the radio show "Fibber McGee and Molly." I love the gag with the painting of the woman and the bartender! 'I ain't got no body'. LOL!

I love the references in this toon. Lou was also the main character in "She Done Him Wrong" the character was played by Mae West, name Lady Lou.
Coincidentally the song playing at the beginning was "Frankie and Johnny" sang by Mae West.

Actually, considering this was explicitly based of the Robert W. Service poem, her name came from this 'lady known as Lou'.
