Movie Reviews of Red Riding Hood
Movie Review: Absolutely The BEST version out there....
Summary: 5 Stars
This live-action musical version of the beloved "Little Red Riding Hood" story by The Brothers Grimm is a must see/have. The songs are fun and absolutely addicting.
The movie elaborates on the original story by adding a bit more plot to spice the things up. It goes as follows: A baroness, whose husband vanished in a war years ago, lives in a nice house in the woods with her daughter Ninet (a.k.a. Red Riding Hood). Ninet's evil uncle has taken the throne in her fathers absence and now resides in the castle while the baroness chooses to live a simple life. Unfortunately the (quite literally) heartless uncle wants the Baroness to be his wife and does everything within his power to make it so.
When all of his attempts fail miserably, he employs the help of a werewolf named Dagger to get rid of Ninet so that she does not poison his name to her mother. It's really a good movie, and the DVD has crystal clear picture (not to mention surround sound) so that you get the complete theatrical experience. The original Cannon Movie Tales trailer makes a nice bonuse feature as well. The only downside is that the movie is in full-screen and there is no widescreen version for the choosing. A widescreen version exist because the German DVDs contain that version as well as the more recent Australian disc. However, I find this is forgivable because of the high quality picture and sound. I give this DVD five stars! Now, if only they would release the other Movie Tales in the series...
Movie Review: A Captivating Addition to your Fairy Tale Film Collection!
Summary: 5 Stars
We all know the story of Red Riding Hood. The girl who takes goodies to her grandmother and forgets she's not suppossed to speak to strangers ,right? Well, I am pleased to say that this film is the best adaptation of Red Riding Hood on film but it also delivers lots of wonderful surprises. The last film in the wonderful Cannon Movie Tale series is really one of the best in the collection. Amelia Shankley, Isabella Rosselini and Craig T. Nelson give captivating performances and the film is also very well directed. This film is not boring, it is actually very powerful. However, this is not a film for the very young ones as I found myself flinching at parts and somewhat taken aback by some events that happen in the film. The songs and dance sequences are wonderful. It's great that the original trailer is included with the DVD. The picture is crystal clear and the sound is also on-par. I highly recommend this film, as it delivers lots of surprises and although it is the story of Red Riding Hood that we all know and love, there is alot of original ideas that everyone will be delighted to see!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!Movie Review: I Love Cannon MovieTales. Stephen Lawrence Did A Charming Job With The Musical Score.
Summary: 5 Stars
i know a lot of people love to rip into Cannon MovieTales, but i love 'em. these movies bring me back to the 80's when i would wait for the video store to open on the morning of each new MovieTale release so i could rent them before the kids would grab 'em off the shelves.
the strong point here is the musical score by award winning composer and song writer Stephen Lawrence. his score is winning and charming. unfortunately the actors are not trained singers and don't do the score a lot of justice.
don't get me wrong, i love Amelia Shankley and Isabella Rossilini, but i just don't think they have strong singing voices. they are still good here and interesting to watch.
Cannon MovieTales are definitely on a par with Shelley Duvall's famous and wonderful 'Fairy Tale Theater' and should be given more respect than are generally given them.

Movie Review: RED RIDING HOOD has never looked better!!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderful relief it is to see these films finally coming out on DVD. Let me just say that this initial release is such an amazing start; the picture is absolutely beautiful, and the sound is crystal clear! It's also sweet to be able to see the original trailer. Perhaps they will be able to round up some interviews or "making-of" footage of the others before they are released. Lack of extras aside, this truly is a must-have disc, especially for that army of loyal Cannon Movie Tale fans out there!Movie Review: Wonderful movie
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
