Red is an American animated character, created by Tex Avery, who appears in several MGM short films and Tom and Jerry films. She is a fictional nightclub singer and dancer who is usually making all men in the room crazy, especially a Wolf character who — in vain — tries to seduce and chase her. Red debuted in MGM's Red Hot Riding Hood (May 8, 1943), a modern-day variant of the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood".[1]

History


According to Avery, the character originated at the army, where he helped the sergeant plan training films for the animators at MGM. When the film was finished, Avery got down to the projection room, where he always "ran the picture for the producer and the whole group". When the sergeant spotted the picture, much like the wolf, he roared. Word soon spread about the picture among the army. The version he showed was the uncensored version, which had a scene that the grandma marries the wolf and has children with him, and the Hays Office found that the scene strongly suggested bestiality. The scene was ultimately cut for the theatrical release. [2][3]

The character was designed by Claude Smith and animated by Preston Blair, who said that the picture originally was just planned around the wolf and the grandmother (which her design was inspired by the caricatures of Peter Arno), but they soon focused mainly on Red. In fact, the character was not rotoscoped, but in fact was drawn from his own imagination. [4][5] The first cartoon, garnering 15,000 bookings, was so successful that it garnered various sequels, the first being The Shooting of Dan McGoo.[6]

Red è un personaggio femminile creato da Tex Avery. Debutta nel celebre corto Red Hot Riding Hood (1943) che era originariamente una deviazione dalla favola di Cappuccetto Rosso. Qui è una giovane cantante e ballerina di un nightclub che fa impazzire tutti gli uomini con la sua bellezza, specialmente il lupo Wolf che prova inutilmente a sedurla. Le reazioni esagerate del lupo alla vista di Red sono diventate molto famose.
