Charming and brutal

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Despite Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and his cartoons being popular and well received at the time, they have been vastly overshadowed over time by succeeding animation characters. It is a shame as, while not cartoon masterpieces, they are fascinating for anybody wanting to see what very old animation looked like.After a mostly disappointing standard of the 1931 Oswald cartoons, apart from about seven or eight, 'Grandma's Pet' is a very nice start to the 1932 batch. In terms of basic story and structure, it's not exactly original sure and the beginning is a little too staid, coming to life properly once the dream starts and particularly once the wolf arrives on the scene.However, the animation is good and has some imaginative moments. It is smooth and detailed with Oswald's movements, gestures and expressions still very much natural. Drawings are fine and there is little if any choppiness or incompleteness.Even better is the music, so catchy and has such an infectious energy. All the gags are very amusing and often more so than that and the 'Little Red Riding Hood' story, which has been done a lot in animation, is given a fun if not exactly fresh telling.Oswald is very endearing and the wolf is a character that's both funny and menacing.In summary, very nice 1932 Oswald cartoon though there are better animated takes of 'Little Red Riding Hood' around. 8/10 Bethany Cox
