 I forgot about Benny Hill. I can definitely see that now, a lot of his sketches were very cartoonish as well as being classic comedy of manners and slapstick.

 Seems The Mask wasn't the only thing to draw (ahem) from this cartoon. Many an early "Hill's Angels" routine on The Benny Hill Show, in its juxtaposition of T&A with the male cast members' reactions, I thought to be a very clunky ripoff of the formula Avery used in the scene where the City Red was performing "Oh Wolfie!"

Little Rural Riding Hood has Country Wolf go to the city to meet City Red. His cousin City Wolf, who seems to be a Southern Dandy-type (New Orleans) character shows him how to behave in what is basically a Burlesque club. This is the second appearance of Red after the better known 'Red Hot Riding Hood', the character most likely modelled on pint-size screen siren Mae West as well as Betty Boop.

Features typical Tex Avery animation which is playing with perspective and planes, as well as wacky "body animation" similar to Looney Tunes, but taken up a gear. The wolf character was hugely influential and was spoofed in The Mask when Jim Carrey first sees Cameron Diaz in a club. This isn't a masterpiece, but it is good fun.

The Blu Ray, Tex Avery Screwball Classics: Volume 2 features a nice print with some scratches, but superb colour, a huge step up from those VHS tapes that did the rounds in the 90s. Sound is crisp and in 2.0 stereo with no pops or nuisance noise. It's also much more affordable than the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection.
