My long-abiding affection for “Little Red Riding Hood” in all of its various incarnations is well known, and I’m always happy to find new versions, like the one below. Here’s the description from Cartoon Brew:

Red is a modern day silhouette film based on the classic fairy tale. Directors Jorge Jaramillo and Carlo Guillot, with musician/composer Manuel Borda, explore the drama, horror and realism of the story in a beautifully stylized way.

I don’t want to give anything away, as I think the film is quite clever, and it really is beautiful. Some of the beauty comes from not knowing exactly what they’re going to do with the traditional tale. The animation and the music work well together, so Red is quite a treat.
