Red Riding Hood (1901) watch online

Red Riding Hood (French: Le Petit Chaperon rouge) is a 1901 French silent film by Georges Méliès, based on the folktale "Little Red Riding Hood". Méliès's adaptation expanded and altered the Charles Perrault version of the story to allow for additional comedy and detail, as well as a happier ending than Perrault provided. In the film, Red Riding Hood is a high-spirited, adventurous daughter in a family of bakers in the French countryside, nearly eaten by a wolf during her journey to take a galette to her grandmother. Red Riding Hood is rescued by the bakery staff just in time, the wolf meets his end during a dramatic chase, and all return home victorious.

The film was distributed internationally, including in its native France by Méliès's Star Film Company, in Britain by the Warwick Trading Company, and in the United States—without permission from or credit to Méliès—by the Edison Manufacturing Company. The film is presently presumed lost.
