Stalling. Released in 1952.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time for little Timmy mouse to go to bed. He may look adorable in his little tobacco sleeping sack, but he&#8217;s kind of annoying. (Constantly pestering his grandmother to tell him a story.) She is nice enough to comply and as she regales her tale, Timmy envisions it in his head.<\/p>\n<p>Once, Red Riding Hood was skipping through a field of flowers, (A pattered carpet.) and through a forest of trees. (Chair and table legs.) But lurking in that forest, was a big bad wolf. (Sylvester) He heads off for grandmas house. (Which apparently has a human sized bed.) Weird how Red\/Timmy doesn&#8217;t go up the stairs which is the shortcut. I guess he is going to climb through the vents? Sylvester dresses up in a nightgown and throws the three other cats out of the bed. And the one offering cigarettes out from under his pillow. (&#8220;I don&#8217;t sthmoke!&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>Red comes in and enacts the timeless dialogue. Sylvester doesn&#8217;t catch him and is forced to give chase. Sliding down the banister, he slips on some butter Red left there and he overshoots his goal, ending up outside. Since he can&#8217;t blow the house down, he sticks some T.N.T. into the mail slot. A bulldog was standing right behind it, and is not pleased to find an explosive in his mouth. He forces it into the cat\/wolf&#8217;s mouth. Dressing in drag, Sylvester claims to be the mouse&#8217;s fairy godmother and has come to grant him a wish. (Wielding a cattle prod-esque wand.) The dog sees his ploy and unplugs it before the mouse is tapped. (Why is the magic word &#8220;raggmopp?&#8221; Is that a reference I&#8217;m not getting?) He plugs it back in when Sylvester tries it on himself.<\/p>\n<p>Sylvester does finally manage to catch the mouse under a glass, who in turn draws a curtain (out of nowhere) so the cat can&#8217;t see the tank he&#8217; making. After an explosion, the rodent red riding hood hides in his house with Sylvester waiting outside. Timmy begs his grandma to finish the story. She says that Red used a firecracker to blow up the &#8220;wolf.&#8221; She even demonstrates. Timmy is sure that blew him up. Sylvester confirms this. So was Granny the original Red? Did Sylvester really wait outside her house for maybe three years? (Mouse years, of course.)<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhat a big, red nose you got!\u201d Directed by I.
