About the Little Red Riding Hood, or, to use its full title, About the Little Red Riding Hood: Continuation of the Old Fairytale (Russian: Про Кра�ную Шапочку. Продолжение �тарой �казки) is a 1977 Soviet children’s musical film directed by Leonid Nechayev.It is, as the title implies, a Continuation Fic of "Little Red Riding Hood". A year has passed since the events of the fairytale, and the killed wolf’s mother the She-Wolf is nursing her increased hatred of humans. She asks (read: hires) the family’s friend the Thin Wolf to bring Little Red Riding Hood to her so that she could have her revenge. In addition, she wants him to take her remaining son, the Fat Wolf, along and train him, since the latter sympathises with humans way too much for her liking and has too much influence over his nephew the Wolf-Cub.The Thin Wolf lures Red Riding Hood into the forest by sending her a message that her grandmother is sick again. The two wolves’ plan is simple: disguise themselves as humans and kidnap the girl by putting her into a sack, but said plan keeps going awry for all sorts of reasons – and in no small part because Red Riding Hood’s friendliness and kindness towards them in each of their disguises makes them less and less willing to hurt her. | |

Gruesome Grandparent: The She-Wolf is disdainful and abusive towards her little grandson for his friendly feelings towards humans. It culminates in her burning his favourite and only book, after which he snaps and switches from simply arguing with her to actively helping Red Riding Hood. | |

Villain Song | |
About the Little Red Riding Hood / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: The Thin Wolf sings a gloating upbeat song about how it’s the life of wolves to grab and eat their enemies… and proceeds to subvert the trope mere minutes later, confessing that actually Being Evil Sucks and singing another, completely different song, recalling his happy childhood times before he knew what it even meant to have fangs. In the soundtrack release, the first song was given to the much more unambiguously villainous She-Wolf. | |

Ironic Echo: The She-Wolf blames Red Riding Hood for getting herself eaten, claiming that if she hadn’t been stupid enough to tell the wolf the truth about where her grandmother lived, nothing would have happened. Later, she wants to confiscate her grandson’s book and demands he tells her the truth about where it is – and the Wolf-Cub replies that since truth, according to her, gets people eaten, he won’t tell her any truth now. | |

About the Little Red Riding Hood / int_35f57671 | comment |
Minion with an F in Evil: The Fat Wolf is a nice if slightly dim Big Fun guy with a Sweet Tooth, and only very reluctantly goes against Red Riding Hood after being bullied into it by his mother. Afterwards, he is constantly bullied yet more by the Thin Wolf who alternates between mocking his incompetence and accusing him of growing too fond of the girl (conveniently neglecting to mention he has grown fond of her himself). The one time the Fat Wolf does show some backbone is in the final confrontation with the hunter. | |

Villainous Rescue: The wolves help Red Riding Hood escape when she is held captive in the Spoiled Child’s house. They intend to put her into the sack immediately afterwards, but that part is foiled by the Wolf-Cub who starts a commotion that scares them off. Then it happens again when the Spoiled Child’s parents send their servants, armed with whips, to capture Red Riding Hood. Said servants have the misfortune to run into the wolves, and the Thin Wolf beats them up and takes their whips. | |

About the Little Red Riding Hood / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: The wolves simply wear different clothes for each of their disguises (except when in their old ladies' disguise they try to change their voices — a little), and Red Riding Hood falls for it every time. She even notices that she keeps meeting similar-looking Fat and Skinny pairs of strangers all day long, and becomes vaguely suspicious when the Fat Wolf says a phrase that’s similar to what he said during one of their previous encounters, but she still doesn’t realise the truth until it’s spelled out for her. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: The old women of the village forbid one of Red Riding Hood’s friends to go with her to the forest mainly because they are bad-tempered, bitter and envious. However, the reasons they give her are perfectly valid – it is dangerous for two little girls to go alone into the woods, and the women rightly suspect that the wolves are still out for revenge and Red Riding Hood will probably be a danger magnet. | |

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the very beginning, we have light colour themes for the Stargazer’s house and the village and dark purple for the wolves’ lair. However, the appearance of two very Jerkass villagers in the very first scene shows that not everything is what it seems. When the wolves get Disguised in Drag, the kinder Fat Wolf wears white and the crueler Thin Wolf wears black. | |

About the Little Red Riding Hood / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: In the very beginning, it looks like Red Riding Hood is going to figure out the wolves the same way she did in the original fairytale, only for it to turn out that no, she doesn't have the faintest suspicion. She asks the Fat Wolf why he has teeth like that and then clarifies that she means it's awful for a respectable man like a woodcutter to eat so many sweets and pastries and get a toothache as a result. Then she asks the Thin Wolf why he has eyes like that and then explains that his eyes look much too angry and he shouldn't spoil everyone's mood even if he's in a bad mood himself. | |

Informed Species: Due to the severe budget and technical limitations of the time, it is one of Leonid Nechayev’s favourite tropes, and this film is no exception. The wolves are completely human-looking and we only know they are wolves because they say so in an As You Know introductory scene. | |

Belated Child Discipline: The Spoiled Child thinks the world exists to do his bidding and is astonished and angry when Little Red Riding Hood scolds him for always relying on servants and refuses to be his friend even when threatened with lashes. Eventually, though, he listens to her, begins to do household chores (to his Idle Rich parents' horror) and ends up running alone through the woods to save Red Riding Hood's life. | |

Unexpected Kindness: In the final scene, the wolves fully expect Red Riding Hood to let them get killed or at least captured by the villagers, and she also says that she doesn't want to protect them after they deceived her so much. Then she changes her mind and lets both of them leave unharmed. They are so shocked that they are left speechless and can only look at her questioningly to make sure she does mean it. | |

Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids! | |

Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: Discussed by several characters, even sympathetic ones like the Wolf-Cub. Nobody is Always Lawful Good or Always Chaotic Evil, and Red Riding Hood has to learn a Hard Truth Aesop that sometimes you need to defeat the antagonists via lying and trickery. Subverted after all, because the main point of the story is that nobody is beyond redemption. Moreover, it's Red Riding Hood's friendliness and gentle heart that wins over the wolves, and she in the end forgives them and lets them go. | |

Comically Missing the Point: When Red Riding Hood tries to sing some sense into the Spoiled Child, she starts by asking him: "What if tomorrow you end up on an island in the middle of an ocean?" The Child squees it would be simply great. He doesn't understand, until Red Riding Hood elaborates on it, that he will die of hunger and cold without his cooks and his nurses, as he has no idea how to survive on his own. | |
