Little Red


You may be suffering from fairy tale reinvention fatigue at the moment what with TV series and movies being released on a seemingly weekly basis which regurgitate old stories in to various different but not necessarily new contexts. However, before you shrug your shoulders in agreement and go elsewhere, give Little Red a chance.  This is now Hollywood backed blockbuster with cynical intentions towards your wallet or purse. 

Little Red has been created by a new animation partnership from Upstart Films, Silsoe Mouse.  This team comprises Ben Turner who directs and Pascal Bideau who composes the music.  Together they have created this visual feast which takes a slightly different approach to the legend of Little Red Riding Hood.  Hang on till the end where Bideau’s talents truly come to the fore with some music that will stay in your head longer than you probably want it to!
