Wait, did I miss something?


Wait, this is Red Riding Hood? Who the heck is Godfrey? When the heck did he suddenly appear in the original story?

You think this version is weird, and not exactly true to the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault? Compare to Roberto Roderiguez' notorious (and internationally successful) Mexican trilogy, exported to America by exploitation entrepreneur K. Gordon Murray.

Caperucita roja, La (1960)
aka "Little Red Riding Hood" - USA

Caperucita y sus tres amigos (1961)
aka "Little Red Riding Hood and Her Friends" - USA

and (brace yourself) --

Caperucita y Pulgarcito contra los monstruos (1962)
aka "Little Red Riding Hood and the Monsters" - USA

You can read about these on IMDb, KiddieMatinee.com and at The Wonder World of K. Gordon Murray websites.

It's a movie, it embellishes - otherwise it'd be over in twenty minutes. All the Cannon fairy tale movies did so at least a little bit.
