Best movie of this year hands down!
RipDelight
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Hot 888 Mama
. . . precariously Spread-Eagled between two wooden benches (balanced on the heels of her feet) tearing apart under the mass of a 500-pound dumb bell, a 950-pound weight, a brown trunk (no doubt filled with rocks), a lavender refrigerator, a stove, a kitchen cabinet, a blue-upholstered easy chair, a solid wood bedstead, a blue wash tub (complete with wringer), a whitewall tire, a white bath tub, a wooden chaise lounge, a white wardrobe, a wooden table, a green trunk, a huge gilded picture frame, a white ironing board, a lamp with a white shade, a brown sofa cushion, a large green metal safe, a green chest, a white hot water heater, and a blue pot-bellied stove as her butt sags within inches of a coal scuttle full of golden (!!) hot embers, as two guys stand staring at her a couple feet away, munching snacks and leering in gleeful anticipation of her inevitable genital immolation moments away. How much humor would YOU see in this situation? To find out, just view LITTLE RED RIDING RABBIT, the Bugs Bunny cartoon Anthony Burgess had in mind when he invented the concept of a Pervert Detector (a.k.a., the "Peter Meter") for his classic book, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.

I thought this was hilarious. It is tongue in cheek, so clever, that it works all the way. It begins with a truly obnoxious Little Red Riding Hood whose voice has the same quality as Elmer Fudd. She has Bugs Bunny in her basket and she is taking him to Grandma's house as a food offering. Bugs is along for the ride but isn't going to go quietly. Meanwhile, the obligatory wolf gets into the act. Of course, he heads for Grannie's house. When he gets there, he puts on her nightgown, but when he pulls back the covers, there are already four wolves in the bed. Bugs then goes to work on the wolf, leading to a great conclusion. This is one of the most satisfying of all the Warner Brothers cartoons.

"Little Red Riding Rabbit" is a 7-minute Warner Bros. cartoon from over 70 years ago, made during the dark days of World War II. Friz Freleng and Michael Maltese worked on this one and both are legends in their own right. So is Mel Blanc and it is quite a rarity that he only voice 1/3 of the characters in one of these cartoons. Anyway, the title is a bit misleading as Bugs does not play Red Riding Hood here, but instead he is an additional character in the story. Grandma is absent and there is a little WWII reference about her absence. This is probably the most annoying Red Riding Hood I have ever seen, so I believe Bugs made the right decision in the end. Funny twist actually (and also some funny scenes before that like the other wolves in Grandma's bed) and I also felt that the girl was the real antagonist here and not the wolf with how annoying she was. Good watch. Recommended.

This cartoon is one of my favorites for a lot of reasons, one of them being that it's a showcase for the sound F/X that were created by Robert Clampett and used throughout in the WB cartoons, even the ones that he didn't direct, such as this one. There is the "bee-whup," the singular "boit," and the most famous one, the "yada-yada-yada." There may even be a couple more I can't think of, but those three are instantly recognizable to long-time Bugs Watchers as Clampett's own.
