Little Red Riding Hood Redux

Disney was making cartoons based on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and other European authors already in the 1920s. But while Disney played fairy tales straight, other animation studios chose to twist, upend, and re-invent them. Guest lecturer Gregory Clark will talk about how Warner Bros and M-G-M animators imaginatively undid and remade the story of Little Red Riding Hood in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
