Little Red

This animation starts out with the big bad wolf at the door of Granny's House. When Granny asks who it is, the wolf first yells "It's me!" and then quickly changes his voice and says that it's one of your friends on a surprise visit. The Granny willingly opens the door and is quickly eatin. This illustrates an ignorance in relation to detail on her part, her willingness to be mislead, and the lack of caution. She doesn't pay attention to the change in voice and comment, nor does she look out of the windows to see who at the door was claiming to be her friend. After the wolf changes into granny's clothing and hops in her bed, Little Red shows up. Little Red appears to be more observant than Granny because she quickly observes the fact that the wold disguised as Granny, had bigger ears than when she last saw Granny. This is possibly used to emphasize the youths' ability to observe details better than adults.

Little Red yells for help as she attacked by the wolf. Even though she the wold ate her, she showed a greater amount of caution and understanding of her surroundings. The hunter hears the distress calls from granny's house and goes to investigate. He finds the wolf full in granny's bed. The hunter cuts an opening from the top of the wolf's chest to down past his belly button but the wolf remains asleep. Maybe this is done allude to the fact that you shouldn't get to comfortable when you think you have one? Maybe there is connection between the wolf being evil and the fact that he felt no pain in being cut wide open such that the evil feel no pain? Grandma sews the wolf up with her stuffing, the wolf wakes and goes to the well to get some water, and fhe falls down the well. The Granny reminds everyone of the morale "That's what happens when you bite off more than you can chew".
