Originally posted by fable Btw, Mike Werb's The Mask deliberately intended the character of the cartoonish Masked Jim Carrey as a tribute to Tex Avery. He said as much during interviews at the time of the film's release.
Yeah, there's this one scene in the film where Cameron Diaz is singing and Carrey morphs into the wolf from Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood cartoon.
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
