Little Red Riding-Hood lives together with her parents in a house on the edge of the forest. Her friends are a bunny, a squirrel and a bear. The little girl is always prepared to help, friendly, innocent and even unsuspecting, for she does not hold anyone capable of doing anything bad. Little Red Riding-Hood often visits her grandmother who lives in the depths of the forest. But her way there is a dangerous one: the wolf and its lackey, the fox, terrorize everyone with their evil deeds. One day, Little Red Riding-Hood is caught in their net.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs the classic fairy tale, relying on clear morals and the contrast between the girl's bright world and the predators' dark one. It explores these themes through puppet animation, creating a familiar yet magical forest.

What lingers after viewing is a straightforward but sincere tale of trust, cunning, and kindness, where cleverness and friendship prevail. It leaves a warm, homely sense of wonder. — MovieFinder Editorial
