Love and cartoons, eh? Cartoons have always dealt with love in one way or another. I got to thinking about Tex Avery's famous cartoon,
Red Hot Riding Hood (1943). The ending is fabulous, and actually pretty dark.
In 1994, Red Hot Riding Hood was voted #7 on a list of
the 50 Greatest Cartoons. A handful of follow-ups were made including
Little Rural Riding Hood (also by Avery), which came in #23 on that same list.
Red Hot Riding Hood has been well referenced in mainstream media, including the
Coco Bongo scene from The Mask (1994, Jim Carrey).
