5.9K views · 619 reactions | The legendary Tex Avery constantly lampooned fairy tales, especially Disney's adaptations of them, for his entire career. Disney, in turn, borrowed an idea from Avery: using a narrator for "spot gags" in the Goofy cartoons. It couldn't have been more fitting, then, for the voice of Goofy, Pinto Colvig, to contribute virtually the same voice for a redneck wolf in Avery's MGM classic "Little Rural Riding Hood" (1949). | GoldenAgeCartoons.com | Facebook

Avery loved Lon Chaney Jr's performance as Lennie in a 1939 film adaptation of John Steinbeck's classic novel "Of Mice and Men", and turned it into an immortal cartoon trope. Avery himself voices "Willoughby" the hound here. | GoldenAgeCartoons.com | Facebook
