Red Hot Riding Hood (her voice ?)
|
|
|
Who does her singing voice in the cartoons? And she doesn't speak, right?

Someone asked about this a year and a half ago. In Red Hot Riding Hood (1943), The Shooting Of Dan McGoo (1945) and Wild And Woolfy (1945), the identity of the voice of Red is not recorded. In Little Rural Riding Hood (1949), Imogene Lynn voiced the title character, while Colleen Collins voiced City Red Hot Riding Hood. I believe these were both speaking roles! This was Daws Butler's first time in a cartoon; he had an uncredited role as the City Wolf. Swing Shift Cinderella (1945) had Collins as Cinderella in the speaking role, with Lynn providing Cinderella's singing voice. This was really a remake of Red Hot Riding Hood, with Red Hot doing the Cinderella character.

I think the Red Hot character does say some dialogue in a short saying, something along the line, that they, a pair of wolf eyes, were bothering her. I would like to know, while on the subject of this classic creations from Avery, are there any DVDs with his shorts on; even it is just a short from Avery as an extra on DVD of a film, as the renowned French DVD box-set of all his MGM shorts may be unavailable in the UK for some time to come.

Avery's Doggone Tired (1949) has fallen into the public domain. Hence, it's in all sorts of PD compilations, DVD included. His The Flea Circus (1954) is an extra on the DVD on the movie Les Girls. Wags To Riches (1949), starring Droopy and Spike, is an extra on The Barkleys of Broadway (1949), part of the five-DVD collection Astaire & Rogers Collection, Vol. 1. If there aren't more Avery cartoons as extras to other MGM films, I'm sure there will be many more soon.

Thanks, but I didn't know what you meant by PD compilations.

PD = public domain. Thus, PD compilations are made up of various cartoons which are in the public domain and are no longer copyrighted by the respective studios.

Several are available at Amazon.co.uk, but they're in Region 1. These include Top Ten Forgotten Cartoons and Cartoon Crazys 2, both good compilations containing Doggone Tired.

I think the Red Hot character does say some dialogue in a short saying, something along the line, that they, a pair of wolf eyes, were bothering her.  And when she does speak, she talks like a different screen actress each time. In Red Hot Riding Hood she talks like Kate Hepburn, in Swing Shift Cinderella she talks like Joan Crawford, in Wild and Wolfey she talks like Mae West, etc.

This voice actor must have been, if it was the same one doing Red Hot Riding Hood for all of them, very talented to imitate voices of such popular film stars at that time.

Avery's Doggone Tired (1949) has fallen into the public domain. Hence, it's in all sorts of PD compilations, DVD included. Canadian Thanksgiving is coming up next Monday, so that reminds me: Jerky Turkey (1945) is another Avery cartoon from MGM that's in the public domain as well. The DVD Cartoon Crazys: Felix the Cat includes Jerky Turkey; visit www.cartooncrazys.com/albums.php for contact info.

In Little Rural Riding Hood (1949), Imogene Lynn voiced the title character, while Colleen Collins voiced City Red Hot Riding Hood. I believe these were both speaking roles! This was Daws Butler's first time in a cartoon; he had an uncredited role as the City Wolf. Actually, City Red Riding Hood does not speak in Little Rural Riding Hood; she just rehashes her dance number from the original Red Hot Riding Hood, with a few minor variations. Also, Daws Butler's voice had been featured briefly in an earlier Tom and Jerry cartoon, Flirty Birdy (1945). He provides a spoken line ("goin' down?") for the eagle who vies with Tom for Jerry as a midday snack and who falls for Tom's ridiculous female bird getup. It's often difficult to pick out voice actors in the MGM cartoons, as they are always uncredited. Daws Butler's voice was heard more often in the MGM cartoons from 1949 onward. On a few occasions he provided the voice of Tom (Mucho Mouse) Mostly he played the dumb wolf to Droopy or Droopy's siblings in a number of cartoons. He also played Droopy's nemesis, "Butch" (nee' "Spike") with a pronounced Irish brogue. He also provides the male voices in Little Johnny Jet and in One Cab's Family. Paul Frees was also a regular voice actor in the MGM cartoons, as well as Don Messick (both of whom went on to the Hanna-Barbera studios after the closure of the MGM Cartoon Studio). Frees can be heard as the Ship's Captain in Cruise Cat and as a radio announcer in The Missing Mouse. William Hanna also did "bit" voices in some of the MGM cartoons, particularly the gasps and blood-curdling screams emitted by Tom.

I think Colleen Collins did every Red voice over from: Red Hot Riding Hood The Shooting of Dan McGoo Swing Shift Cinderella Wild and Woolfy Uncle Tom's Cabana Little Rural Riding Hood I love them all (except Uncle Tom's Cabana because I have never seen it before).

This was Daws Butler's first time in a cartoon; he had an uncredited role as the City Wolf. Actually, Daws Butler's very first voice over was in Red Hot Riding Hood, he did the wolf howling. Frank Graham did the Wolf's talking voice. I'm sure that Red was voiced by Colleen Collins in Swing Shift Cinderella and Little Rural Riding Hood.

I just thought I would mention that Little Rural Riding Hood is currently available as an extra on the DVD of MGM's Battleground (1949) from WHV. I saw a copy of it yesterday in the DVD stacks at my local Tower Records. I was low on cash that day, so I didn't snatch it up!

Ooooh I LOVE Red! She has a sexy voice and I like you I was wondering the same thing. I know she was voiced by Imogene Lynn in a couple of cartoons, but I'm not sure if she did in all of them. Red does speak in all of her cartoons except for Uncle Tom's Cabana.

I know that Tex Avery's Screwball Classics was released on VHS years ago. And those tapes had most of the Red Hot Riding Hood shorts (in all her named variations). Having said that, does anyone know if there's a DVD compilation that has all these classics together?
