"Seryy Volk end Krasnaya Shapochka" is Garri Bardin's Soviet take on the famous Red Riding Hood story and there is a reason why he won many awards for this one, also in Western countries. It runs for slightly under half an hour and it is an entertaining watch from start to finish with some truly great musical moments. But the film also delivers in terms of the story and in terms of comedy. I personally found it the funniest how the wolf keeps eating and eating people and there are so many in his belly (that looks like a cave) as the film goes on. The animation is certainly not to everybody's liking, but I enjoyed it overall. There were very few cringeworthy moments only and these are more than made up for by the brilliant soundtrack including many famous classics and an epic ending scene. I certainly recommend watching this little movie. You will not regret it.
