Gives it that story book feel.) we see a wolf playing pachinko. Despite his best cheating, he fails. (Don&#8217;t feel bad wolf, if &#8220;Super Mario Sunshine&#8221; has taught me anything, it&#8217;s that pachinko is near impossible.) He spies a young girl with a red hood outside and calls upon his inner pervert. (She looks like a kid, so maybe she is one.) He hits on her, but she is not interested and turns her nose up at him. Not looking where he was going, the wolf (voiced by Ted Pierce) gets hit on the head by a stop sign.<\/p>\n<p>After waiting for Egghead to cross the street (and getting hit by a go sign) he resumes his flirtatious ways despite her literal cold shoulder. She tells him off (in her Katherine Hepburn-esque voice) and says that she is going to her grandmothers. Egghead pops up with a sign showing a shortcut, and the wolf drives off. Turns out that favor wasn&#8217;t free as the wolf soon sees Egghead hitchhiking up ahead. He speeds past him. At grandma&#8217;s, (where we see Egghead just jumped onto the car anyway.) He tries to get in. Grandma was smart enough to lock the door and the wolf can&#8217;t get in no matter how hard he tries. (Egghead can get in easily to the wolf&#8217;s chagrin.)<\/p>\n<p>He eventually does get in the house and chases the old lady around. She calls a time-out to answer the phone. It&#8217;s the grocer and she takes her time listing her groceries. (Gotta love the wolf&#8217;s reaction.) After getting some butter and lettuce (and gin) they resume their chase. She hides in the closet and when the wolf catches up, Egghead walks out. (The wolf can only shrug by this point.) Right when he gets her where he wants her, Red shows up. The wolf begs for the stuff he needs to disguise himself with. Funnily enough, she hands it over right away. He hops into bed and the girl walks in.<\/p>\n<p>After they give the usual banter this story has, the wolf tussles with her. (Taking a quick break so a couple of inconsiderate a-holes can sit down in the theater.) Just when the fight starts picking up again, Egghead walks by once more. Having enough, the wolf asks (in his own words) just who the heck this guy is. Egghead responds by smacking him with a mallet. Turns out he was the hero of the short.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cGee, but you\u2019re swell!\u201d Supervision by Fred Avery; Story by Cal Howard; Animation by Irven Spence; Musical Direction by Carl W.
