Abstract

The fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood is one of the most popular in modern culture. Its archaic sense (a warning about the danger of a werewolf) had long ago lost its relevance, and the fairy tale plot turns out to be just a form. But this form requires new ideas and constantly generates new meanings. Meanwhile, the cartoon interpretations of the Little Red Riding Hood plot, along with all the others, claim to be the embodiment of the “true” content of the story. However, none of them conveys the “originality” of the tale, which it has in the very beginning. The fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood has inspired its adaptation in more than fifteen Russian animated films. In the first adaptations made by V. and Z. Brumberg (1937) and B. Stepantsev (1958), the innovation of the plot was based on a helper hero (the Cat and pioneer Petya, respectively), who actively participated in the action and much changed it. Moreover, Petya was initially a hero from the fairy-tale suite by Sergey Prokofiev Petya and the Wolf (1936). In film adaptations, starting with the film by Gary Bardin (1990), the plot is innovative via cumulation IncRedible Riding Hood, 2017–2019), The True Story of the Red Riding Hood (2005) and The Red Riding Hood Against Evil (2011). Another way is the assistant characters Little Red Riding Hood (1995). This increases the length of films, but reduces the dynamics necessary for cartoons. A long series of anonymous animated works of recent times about Little Red Riding Hood speculates on the undemanding requests of the viewer, who is a child.
