Based on the infamous fairy tale 'Little Red Riding Hood', the makers on this innovative animae offered a refreshing twist on this age old tale of 'Good triumphing over evil' but of course, the notion of 'happily ever after' still rings true even for this tale with a slightly macabre twist!
The movie start with its four key characters or so it seems, Red (short for Red Riding Hood), the 'Big-Bad' Wolf, the 'frail' old granny and the 'hero' the woodcutter!
The tale is fast forwarded to the pivoting point where the wolf is found in granny's bed, Red's life is being threatened by the wolf, and granny hops out of the cupboard all bonded and tied up and the woodcutter bursts in through the window wielding an axe...
At this point, the animal kingdom's law-enforcers burst into the scene and conducts their investigations to establish the truth of the matter.
Of course, the complicating matter of the whole entire story is that, there is a recipe bandit who is going all over the forest and robbing all pastry shops of their precious recipes... thus the police is given the task of trying to establish who the bandit is... the wolf, the granny, red or the apparently heroic woodcutter...
At the end of the day, the culprit emerges as a disillusioned character... supposedly whom no one suspects (but actually it get a bit obvious as the plot proceeds halfway through...)
In all, RED is seeking freedom and trying to tell the world that she is no longer a kid, frail granny is also not as frail nor as frumpy as she seems, the woodcutter is an accidental hero and the wolf... is basically a victim of generalization.
Plenty of hidden messages in this animation, but an engaging and fun one to watch nevertheless!
