How it feels

This is an animated short that gives a twisted retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood story. A wolf schemes to finally catch Red, but nothing goes as expected. It mixes traditional cel animation with collage elements.

What happens

Redux Riding Hood is a 15-minute animated short film directed by Steve Moore and produced by Disney in 1997 that received an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Short Film. The film was produced with cel animation and 2-D collage elements and it originated from a set of four short/featurettes planned by Disney and MovieToons (to be titled "Totally Twisted Fairy Tales"), which was also to include "Jack in the Beanstalk", "The Three Little Pigs" and a fourth cartoon that was never finalized. The idea was to make a more adult short by combining Disney artists and high-quality writers and their takes on classic fairy tales. Only Redux Riding Hood was released on August 5, 1997 in Encino, California to qualify it for the Academy Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
