Fun With Shorts: Little Red Riding Hood 

I keep expecting Gumby to show up.....

Anyone else see a reflection of Red Riding Hood when she's walking through the woods at around 1:40?

"Harryhausen?! I can't riff this!" But you could, and it was good. XD Hey, just because it's made by a master doesn't mean it can't be goofy. And as NeoSquirrel pointed out, the stop-motion IS quite nice. Hell of a lot better than those Lone Ranger shorts, that's for sure.

In all fairness, the animation for this stop motion is buttery smooth, compared to some of Harryhausen’s other larger work-definitely more attention to detail and frame rate. The expressions are also pretty nice, like her lips pursed inward.

Ray was just killing time before making an actual movie, but it's pretty impressive for its time, like the rest of the Puppettoons.

this will give me nightmares, and not because of the story.

Want to like again for the Into the Woods riff

8:04 and marched back to the NRA meeting he was on his way to until running into a hysterical woman who needed a good guy with a overcompensating symbolic representation of his manhood.

Harryhausen could bring his A-Game to anything.

My grandmother had big ears, a long nose, big eyes, and long sharp teeth since she was a little girl. Do you suppose she tore the throat out my my sister? We had a closed casket at the funeral. Mom just said, “She was a wicked old bitch...”. We never spoke of her again.

is this a redo? I seem to remember it

I am the servant of the power behind the Nothing. I was sent to kill the only one who could have stopped the Nothing. I lost him in the Swamps of Sadness. His name... was Atreyu.

Wolf: "You fell for one of the classic blunders!" Okay, but seriously though, this rendition of Little Red Riding Hood makes Disney movies look like the original Grimm tales by comparison. Also, can we agree that Little Red Riding Hood is in desperate need of corrective eyewear?

Omg this had me crying I’m laughing so hard

This was genuinely charming. Thanks for showing it!

1:05 her story checks out.

If I was the target audience back then, that wolf would have scared the shit out of me.
