When I was little, this film really intrigued me. It felt completely alien to see a Warner Bros. cartoon without Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, etc. etc. It's also to see how Avery's humour evolved, too. While this short certainly isn't "Red Hot Riding Hood", it's still bound to give you a laugh or two. And here's an interesting piece of trivia - the voice of Peter Parrot in the film was supplied by radio actor Robbie Winkler.
