4.0 out of 5 stars an enchanting FAERIE TALE, October 28, 2004

Straying from the path and talking to a stranger can be a dangerous thing, so learns the heroine of FAERIE TALE THEATRE's retelling of LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD.

Mary (Mary Steenburgen) lives with her parents (John Vernon and Diane Ladd) in the middle of the forest where her father works as a woodcutter. Her only friend is her absent-minded Grandmother (Frances Bay) and she yearns for the adventure and exitement she has only ever read in fairytales.

When she strays from the path to Granny's house, she happens across a Cockney Wolf (Malcolm McDowell). Should she trust this magical new 'friend' or run while she still can?...

A charming entry in the series. Steenburgen and McDowell (married in real life at the time) have a marvelous time with the script. Frances Bay is delightful as Grandmother and the episode also features Darrell Larsen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Little Red Riding Hood Review, January 20, 2005

By	Adam Ogren (Kennewick, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This version of Little Red Riding Hood is one of the better ones you will see, it is comical but sticks to the traditional story of this fairy tale. Though it isn't the best Faerie Tale Theatre production it still is fun and appropriate for people of all ages. The crew does a good job of acting and giving the characters personality. The costumes are wonderful and you will love the Big Bad Wolf in fact you might EAT HIM UP.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faerie Tale Theatre on DVD, September 17, 2004

By	Heidi Anne Heiner (SurLaLune Fairy Tales.com) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

After years of waiting, Faerie Tale Theatre fans can finally own the series on DVD. Shelley Duvall's series originally appeared on Showtime 20 years ago and featured well-known and rising stars of the time. The series' enthusiastic interpretations of beloved fairy tales has made it a cult classic. Better yet, the DVD prices are affordable, especially after the high prices the used VHS copies have been earning in recent years.

About this episode:

Here's the classic story of a young girl who meets a big, bad wolf on her way to Grandmother's house. Should she stop and visit or hurry away from this intriguing stranger?
