Red Riding Hood

Rating:
Summary: Surprisingly bad
Review: I bought this because it is made by Cannon Movie Tales and I love "Puss in Boots", which they also made. Because "Puss in Boots" was so good, I thought this would be, too. Alas, I was disappointed. "Red Riding Hood" has almost no relation to the story we are all familiar with. The plot in the actual fairytale is more of a parenthetical remark than the main story line in this movie. Add to this that the acting was rather painful and the special effects were anything but special and you are left with 1 star. The one thing it had going for it was that it was perfectly clean and not very scary for youngsters. Since small children are easier to please in the cinematic area than adults, perhaps they would still enjoy this adaptation to "Little Red Riding Hood".

Review: I have been a fan of Movie Tales since I was a baby! Since I was 13 I have tried to collect all the Cannon Movie Tales (since all but three are out-of-print) and "Red Riding Hood" happens to be a favorite of mine! I love the song "Never Talk to Strangers!" The reason I love this film so much is how eerie it is and how much of a back-story they give! Trust me buy this and you will fall in love! Not to mention the songs and costumes are brilliant! They also have big stars in them!!! Also recommand highly is the other Cannon Movie Tales:
Snow White (Diana Rigg)
Sleeping Beauty (Rebecca Fairchild)
The Frog Prince (helen Hunt)
Puss N' Boots (Christopher Walkin)
Hansel and Gretel (Cloris Leachman)
Beauty and the Beast (Rebecca Demornay)
The Emperors New Clothes (Sid Ceasor)
Red Riding Hood (Craig T. Nelson)
and the newest Memeber:
Cinderella due out in late 2002!

Review: I saw this movie when I was little. I am a child of the 80s and loved this movie ever since. All the kids in my drama class did not see it and did not know that there is a sexual atraction between them in the movie. I said " what! " you haven't seen this movie obviously they haden't other wise they would have gotten the awnser. Anyway I just love these movies but I wonder when they will come out so everyone can see them. They are not well known other wise people would know about them. They are hard to find classics.

Summary: Odd...but pretty good
Review: Looks like this will be the first review of Red Riding Hood on DVD.For those that have already seen this movie...you must get the DVD.It looks terrific.The picture is crisp and clear,the colors are vibrant and even the sound is pretty good,especially when compared to the VHS version.The sound is recorded in Dolby Surround 2.0,but the surround effect seems to be noticeable only during the musical numbers.Unfortunately,there's no special features except for the requisite theatrical trailer.For those that haven't seen this movie,It's a quirky adaption of the classic story of Red Riding Hood,Cannon Movie Tales style.The cast includes a couple of well-known actors...Craig T. Nelson("Coach","Poltergeist"),Isabella Rosselini("Blue Velvet"),and some lesser-known actors like Amelia Shankley('A Little Princess","Dreamchild") and Rocco Sisto("The Sopranos"..Sisto played the younger Uncle Junior in a couple of flashback episodes).The musical numbers are a mixed bag,but they manage to give the film a decent sense of pacing.From what I've gleaned from the internet,this was the last feature film that then-15-year-old Amelia Shankley ever made.She did have a recurring role in the "Lovejoy" television series a few years after Red Riding Hood but apparently hasn't done much since then.That's a shame,because she seemed to display a great deal of talent in this film and all of the others she appeared in.Anyways,this is a good family-type movie but younger children might be frightened by portions of it.

Review: Ok.The film is not the classical adaptation of the german fairytale,but it is really an joy to watch.Amelia Shankley is the
best of the film.She is sooo beautiful and sexy in her young age.
You can feel her freshness and spirit
The innocence of this sweet little girl is totally believeble.
There are also exellent performances by Rocco Sisto and Graig T.
Nelson,the villains of the film. A nice family picture

Review: These films are truly the greatest. I remember this one vividly with the werewolf. Also, the mother is played by Isabella Rosellini. These are captivating tales that should delight the young and the young at heart. I am SO glad that they are returning to DVD. :-)

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This is the best version of the classic tale I have ever seen! I love my copy! The songs are great, the werewolf angle is perfect, and red riding hood is a young teen cutie! It combines the quality of a good musical, with comedy, horror, and drama. Only bad thing is when her mother sings to her! Isabella Rosselini's singing is awful! This movie is great family entertainment though!
