Red Riding Hood Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
raymond-15 My mother insisted I should chew my food twenty times. The wolf in this fairy tale has a lot to learn regarding his eating habits. But he is a cunning fellow. He gives Red Riding Hood a spiked drink to blur her vision so she doesn't recognize the wolf in Granny's bed.Granny despite her age and poor health is a very active woman indeed. She runs like hell to get help when Red Riding Hood falls into the wolf's clutches.The familiar story is embellished with a sub-plot. Apparently Red Riding Hood's father has not returned from the wars and her cruel uncle wants to move in to claim her mother Jean in marriage. There are a few scary scenes. Watch carefully and you can see a wolf peering through a leafy branch. And may be worse…if you don't pay your taxes, you can expect to be tortured and thrown into a dungeon.The wolf that roams in the wood can change himself into a man. This can lead to a dangerous situation for an unsuspecting child. Red Riding Hood is a fairly sensible child and is aware that strangers cannot always be trusted even though you may be searching for a new friend.The story is given a light touch by introducing songs in appropriate places. Though the singing is not high quality, it adds to the fun. I especially liked "Never trust a stranger" a duet sung by Red Riding Hood and the wolf-man.Most fairy tales have a happy ending, but in this tale the outcome looks pretty hopeless as the peasants assemble in Granny's bedroom and Red Riding Hood is nowhere to be seen. What comes next is the highlight of the film! A very tense moment indeed. A matter of life or death. Can we really believe our eyes? Mr. Wolf, take it from me, anything can happen if you don't chew your food twenty times!
cmoore0013 This is one great Cannon Movie Tale.I just recently saw it.The music is very professional sounding and doesent sound cheesy like some of the other Cannon Movie Tales do.The plotline is a little screwed up.It does have an intriging backstory featuring the Lynette(Red Riding Hood) character's uncle(Craig T Nelson).This film boasts a terrific music score by Stephen Lawrence.It elivates the film so much and makes it seem more like a real film than a children's movie.The film has a nasty and frightening atmosphere that might scare the little ones.Children 6 and up will not find it scary. This film is a must see or buy.It is worth a blind buy.That's what I did just because I love the Cannon Movie Tales.It is worth it!Get It NOW!!!!
maxvaughn Finally, a movie that gives an explanation for the fact that when they cut open the wolf, Little Red Riding Hood is unharmed. True, the reason is an enchanted cloak, but it's better than nothing. I loved the songs "You Won't Be Here in the Morning" and "Never Talk to Strangers". The other thing that makes this version better then most Red Riding Hood stories is the supporting characters. They gave Red's parents and friends all lives that had nothing to do with her being eaten, yet kept to a basic plotline.
alicorn_83 This movie tale brings to life the classic story in a way that makes it the best retelling of it I've ever seen. Music, a handsome wolf, and a depth of plot that is hardly ever seen in a story that was once so basic.There are a bunch of great songs in this movie: So good at being bad You should never talk to strangers Blue in the green You won't be there in the morning The man without a heart My favorite quote:"King: You don't love anything, do you? Dagger: I love hunting with the pack under a full moon..I love a romantic dinner by candlelight..The two don't seem to go together do they?
