O Chapeuzinho Vermelho

I saw the movie when I was a kid back in Mexico. It was a total hit back then along with "Pulgarcito". I was so fascinated with her sweetness and her costume that my dad bought me the 45" record of this movie. For too long I was none other than Caperucita Roja, until I replaced her for a movie star a couple of years later. If by any chance you are lucky to have this movie, I recommend that you have the mind of a child of the 60'S and to watch it and to remember that everything was magic,incredible, pure, innocent, perfect, It just has all the ingredients to make us laugh, be sad, to dream and to believe that goodness always overcomes darkness. A 100% BEAUTIFUL AND RECOMMENDED MOVIE WITH NO DOUBT!!! (p.s. Guess what I just bought from one of these auctions?.... you're right; the record my Dad gave me 38 years ago and also some originals Lobby Cards from the movie!!

this movie is basically flawless. as a CHILD, i watched the English version and was enthralled by it, and at the same time very creeped out by the incredibly and shockingly sexual predator/stalker character of the Wolf. Anyone who has seen this film as a child can tell you it is an emotional roller coaster on multiple levels. The music, the rustic scenery in "half color", and the emotions just take you to another world; an outsider who is just waiting to see the protagonist come to an end, with the evil being so pungent and in our face, with you completely unable to do anything about it. You constantly fear for riding hood and the villagers because you know what is coming for them. its very shakespearan.

As an ADULT, the movie is the most hilarious thing you will perhaps ever see in you're life, for various reasons, primarily the corniness and high levels of non realism. It is worthe minutes upon minutes of laughter. However, It is also possible to take the film very seriously; just note the above mentioned characteristics of the wolf. Strong other gender and age related issues are also prevalent throughout the film; its a matter of viewing it as styalistic.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD was available at a film convention I went to and out of curiosity, I bought it. It was the funniest thing I had seen in years! Not intentionally funny, mind you, but funny! The little girl is so obnoxious, everyone loves her, the perfect little girl. You just wanna ring her neck! The wolf is a man in a raggedy old HIDEOUS suit that stalks around "menacingly" with his sidekick, a skunk (a man in a HIDEOUS skunk suit!). When Little Red sings, her voice is that of an adult opera singer! With a giant spider who's "angry", the wolf's cave that looks like a giant jack o' lantern, and a bunch of comedy relief that isn't comedy and certainly isn't relief for the atrocity of this thing! Get this movie now!

I am disagree with some comments of the users of this movie because of the very bad dubbing of the movie. We have to remember that, for a Mexican movie, this one is on the standards of this time (beginning of the sixties) and it had to be see it more as a theatrical way than a movie.

The most appreciated character on this movie and the next two had been made is Manuel "Loco" Valdes because he was in his top moment as comedian and actor, so he develop a very funny and unoffensive wolf that became the pivotal of this and the next two movies.

Maybe for me, this movie is now not more than a lot of sugar on screen (currently I am 27), but for the time I saw it (around 20 years before), this series of movies became a very nice experience to see on Mexican TV.

This movie is good for kids that wants to imagine that the characters are real even that they look so unreal on screen, but forget to hear it dubbed in English, the Spanish version is better.
