How did Avery treat familiar fairy tales in his cartoons?
He stuck to the original story
He reinvented them with a twist of humor
He avoided them completely
He told them from the villain's perspective
Answer
Avery treated familiar fairy tales with a twist of humor. For example, in the 1949 cartoon Red Riding Hood, the wolf dresses up as a granny, but instead of eating Red Riding Hood, he tries to court her. Avery also subverted the expectations of fairy tales by having the characters break the fourth wall and talk directly to the audience.
