The last of Tex Avery's variations on "Red Hot Riding Hood" (1943), in which the country wolf visits his city cousin, who tries to teach him the rudiments of civilized behavior when watching girls in nightclubs - without, it has to be said, a great deal of success...

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.Also have much admiration for Tex Avery, an animation genius whose best cartoons are animated masterpieces and some of the best he ever did. It must have been daunting constructing a cartoon following up from one of his greatest cartoons 'Red Hot Riding Hood', but 'Little Rural Riding Hood', ingeniously parodying two well known stories ('Little Red Riding Hood' and 'The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse') in a way only Avery could, manages to be just as good if not quite as amazingly ahead of its time like 'Red Hot Riding Hood' was/is.Can't fault the characters, both wolves are splendidly characterised with the country wolf being especially hilarious and both Reds are uniquely sexy and beautiful.Nor Avery's direction. He does a wonderful job directing, with his unique, unlike-any-other visual and characteristic and incredibly distinctive wacky humour style all over it as can be expected.Once again there is nothing sadistic or repetitious, instead it's imaginative, wonderfully wild, deliciously deranged, violent but imaginatively so, shockingly racy, red hot sexy and hilarious throughout from start to finish. The sight gags throughout are an absolute joy and are immaculate in timing.It is no surprise either that the animation is superb, being rich in colour and detail. The character designs are unique, Avery always did have creative character designs, and suitably fluid. The music, courtesy of Scott Bradley, is lushly and cleverly orchestrated, with lively and energetic rhythms and fits very well indeed, even enhancing the action.'Little Rural Riding Hood' sees both Daws Butler and particularly Pinto Colvig on top form.Overall, brilliant. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This is a sort of city mouse/country mouse kind of thing. The country wolf is under the spell of a buck toothed female (of course, country people have bad teeth). He actually pursues her and she him and the results are unsatisfactory. As he practically gets himself killed, a note comes from the city wolf. Attached is a picture of Red Riding Hood, a lounge singer. She is shapely and desirable. The country wolf takes off for the city. Once there, he becomes a sex maniac. The city wolf can barely control him. Every Tex Avery wolf, eye popping routine is used. Slobbering, thumping, howling, on and on. He becomes an utter embarrassment to his city counterpart. Every method that is possible is used to restrain the lupine hick. It's pretty funny with a nice little conclusion.

I first saw this one as a '70s kid watching The Tom and Jerry Show on weekday afternoons. That show had lots of outrageous cartoons that are so funny you can't help yourself. This one is more outrageous than usual since it parodies two well known stories: The Little Red Riding Hood and Country Mouse/City Mouse. Here, the title character is a hillbilly girl who speaks in a southern drawl who's bringing some jug of moonshine for her granny. Granny here is, of course, a wolf but he speaks in Goofy's voice (Pinto Colvig) who, instead of wanting to eat her wants "kiss her and chase her" acting all country bumpkin crazy. So the chase ensues when Red arrives but stops short of the wolf kissing her when a telegram arrives from his city cousin to come to his house where he'll promise a "real red riding hood". I'll stop here and mention that when we see her, it's reused footage from Swing Shift Cinderella as animated by Preston Blair. During this sequence, Colvig's wolf is so out of control, it's hilarious. And the city wolf's voice is none other than Daws Butler, best known for the southern drawled Huckleberry Hound. Tex Avery has done it again with this entry in the Red Hot Riding Hood series he made for MGM in the '40s with the typical wackiness and sexiness one never gets tired of seeing from this man. Most highly recommended for animation buffs especially of the Avery kind.

In this one, Tex Avery pkes continued fun at his old friends, Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, but adds a slight twist-he parodies the tale of the Country Mouse and the City Mouse and of course, in true Avery fashion, stands everything on its ear. Tex also proves an old adage-beauty is in the eye of the beholder. All the old Tex Avery signatures are here-eye bulges, double-takes and sight gags galore. Bring the spouse, the kiddies, old Uncle Erasmus, Grampa and the hermit under the floor boards. Great fun will be had by all! Recommended.
