I am uncertain of how to appraise this modernized version of the classic fairy tale, "Little Red Riding Hood". The bits that are modernized -- grandma lives down the roads a piece in a nice Victorian house, not a cottage in the middle of the woods and Audrey takes the bus to get there -- are nicely thought out. Likewise, the gag sequences are nicely conceived and executed. However, I also think that animation should be about something that couldn't be done live, and none of the gags here were beyond the capabilities of the movie camera at this point.

Still, finding a child star acting in short subjects at this point who could star in this.... well, that's a real issue. So I'll give this one the benefit of the doubt. Meanwhile, I wonder why Famous Studios dropped its "Little Audrey" theme in favor of the more generic "Noveltoons", intended for one shots....

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
