Rockin' "Red" Videos


Check out these two videos I found while looking for modern interpretations of "Little Red Riding Hood"! 

The first video depicts the story line of the Grimm Brothers' "Little Red Cap". It follows the story very closely with just minor changes to the ending. The huntsman in this video shoots the wolf, while in the story he just cuts it open while it is asleep to rescue Red and Grandmother and then the three of them sew rocks back into the wolf's stomach which kills it when it wakes up and tries to move.

This second video has beautiful animation and a fantastic soundtrack. It's approach to the story is much darker and uses a lot of creative license with the retelling. The most interesting part to me is the appearance of the red hood and the way this story suggests that the girl wears it out of honor and respect for her grandmother. It definitely brings out the more sinister nature of the story and the badass version of Red that it creates is really cool.



Are there any more rockin' short film interpretations of fairy tales that I'm missing out on?!
