The Golden Age of Hollywood Cartoons



The first character I want to talk about is 'Red Hot Riding Hood'. Like Betty Boop, she has her own mini series and is obviously a sex symbol, but what I want to point out is the resemblance between Red, created in 1943 and Jessica Rabbit, created in 1988 for 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'. Both ginger haired girls in red dresses who sing in clubs; it's a safe bet to say that Jessica is based on Red Hot Riding Hood.

Some of the greatest names of Hollywood have all crossed paths at one point or another, to create cartoons that children even today love to watch. The greats, such as Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Fred Quimby, etc have all worked together at some point to bring us some very funny cartoons.

 There is huge similarity between the two cartoons above, so I can say for certain that 'Tom and Jerry', is a spin off, well known and very successful version cartoon based on 'Ventriloquist Cat'.

'Tom and Jerry' was my childhood cartoon and I still watch it today. New episodes are still being made and its major success means it will forever be a top cartoon.
