Editorial Review:
Rediscover the magic and romance of one of the best-loved fairy tales of all time! Charming, suspenseful and wonderfully moving, Red Riding Hood is filled with stirring songs, spectacular dance numbers and superb sets! In a magical forest alive with wonderment, a little girl finds that not all is as it seems. Living alone with her mother (Rossellini), Linet (Shankley) spends her days exploring the woods with nothing to fear. But when she embarks on a perilous journey to visit her grandmother and discovers both an enchanted wolf and an evil lord in her path, it'll take a magical red cloak and a friendly woodcutter to save the day!
Red Riding Hood Reviews:
Yuck! 
2009-09-11 - I didn't care for this movie. It had a lame story line and even worse effects. Not something I would recommend at all. Yuck!
The best musical of Red Riding Hood that I have ever seen 
2009-01-11 - I loved this movie. It told the fairy tale classic in a different and unique way with a spin to it. I really liked how they told the story. I loved the acting. I loved the songs and the dancing. I loved the special effects. They just did a marvelous job with this movie.
I would highly recommend it to those who love fairy tales, musicals, and Little Red Riding Hood.

One of the Cannon Movie Tales 
2008-04-30 - Red Riding Hood is one of the many "Cannon Movie Tales" that I grew-up with and am happy to find released on DVD. It was by no means my favorite of the series (which includes- Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Beauty and the Beast, Emperor's New Clothes, Puss in Boots, Hansel and Gretal, and not released on dvd in the U.S.- Frog Prince, Sleeping Beauty). This series of movies looks like it was done all with shared sets (most of the sets from Red Riding Hood can be seen in Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, and Frog Prince) and sometimes the same actors. Red Riding Hood includes Isabella Rossellini (Merlin, Death Becomes Her) and Craig T. Nelson (Coach, Poltergeist). There's a few delightful songs, some overripe acting from the infamous "wolf," and some general changes in the story to stretch it out for a full length movie. All in all I like it mostly out of nostalgia more than anything else.
Red Riding Hood Pee-Eww... I mean Review
2007-09-04 - Be prepared to watch the enhanced version of "Little Red Riding Hood". Ever wondered what became of Red's father? Want to know a little more about her mother and grandmother? This version of the classic fairy tale is certainly full of surprises. It was so surprising, I didn't even recognize the original story. In fact, the real story doesn't even begin until about a half hour into the movie!
"Red Riding Hood" features an oddball collection of characters in a disinteresting plot. Red's evil uncle attempts to romance Red's disinterested mother after Red's father becomes MIA. The only "mildly interesting" character is the wolf who spends much of the show disguised as a spy for Red's uncle.
This film includes a cute little ditty entitled "Never Talk To Strangers", which is the underlying moral of this tale. Though I still wouldn't show this movie to any child younger than 10. I do not think younger children will be that interested in the plot.
Wonderful movie
2006-12-27 - Although this movie departs greatly from the original fairy tale, it is still worth purchasing. It is well made, the acting is superb, with Isabella Rosselini reminiscent of her wonderful mother Ingrid Bergman. I taped this for my daughter on VHS many years ago and she watched it so much! It is very well done and no one who buys it will be disappointed. It would be intense for very young children, however.
