Red (Tex Avery)
![](../I/m/Swing_Shift_Cinderella_Screenshot.png)
Red in the 1945 animated short Swing Shift Cinderella.
Red is an American animated character, created by Tex Avery, who appears in several MGM short films and Tom and Jerry movies. She is a fictional nightclub singer and dancer who is usually making all men in the room crazy, especially a Wolf character who - in vain- tries to seduce and chase her. Red debuted in Red Hot Riding Hood (1943), where she was originally a deviation of Little Red Riding Hood.
Despite only appearing in seven animated shorts from the Golden age of American animation era and being nothing but a foil for other male characters to have funny exaggarated reactions about she proved memorable enough to be revived in many Hanna-Barbera TV cartoon series from the 1990s on.
