That goes for commercials too. One of the most frequently used tales has been Little Red Riding Hood. Of course they used Goldilocks a lot too, but that&#8217;s another story.

So if you&#8217;re ready, let&#8217;s all go out for a nice walk in the woods&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Halo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a strange one from Shamus Culhane productions. Announcer\/game show host Jack Narz is the voice of the wolf. I almost used this one for the celebrity impersonation post last week, but I couldn&#8217;t figure out if he was imitating Ned Sparks or W. C. Fields. Maybe neither. I was pretty certain he was imitating SOMEBODY\u2026<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ubqTZDo2DuA?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr style=\"color: #c00; background-color: #c00; height: 1px; border: none;\" \/>\n<p><strong>Snowdrift<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Directed by John Hubley and animated by Art Babbitt.
