    Little Red Riding Hood is a 1997 black and white short film based on the traditional children's fairytale Little Red Riding Hood. Written and directed by David Kaplan, it features Christina Ricci in the title role and Quentin Crisp as the narrator.[1] The short film has influences from "The Story of the Grandmother".[2]

    Plot[edit]

    The black-and-white short-film shows the forest of the tale.

    Ananthropomorphized black wolf tries to trick Little Red Riding Hood. Little Red is seen watching the wolf through the trees as he is dancing within a clearing. He notices her watching, and as Little Red walks away, he rushes up to her, asks her where is she going and what path will she take. Upon knowing her path, he gracefully runs and jumps to get to the grandmother's house before Little Red does. He successfully eats her grandmother, and then tries to eat her. However, she tricks him and survives.

    Cast[edit]

    Themes[edit]

    The film has been interpreted by scholar Jennifer Orme as having queer themes present throughout. She argues that Kaplan's adaptation puts into question the heteronormative interpretation of the classic Little Red Riding Hood story and invites viewers to have a queer reading of it, through various aspects of the film.[3]
