The Big Bad Wolf recalls his meeting with Little Red Riding Hood.

Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

Autostraddle

It really is a fun short with a warm relationship between two women at its center that'll make your heart flutter even if they're just supposed to be fairytale "friends."

This adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1982 parody of nursery rhymes is more Sunday morning cartoon than anything approaching the genius of The Witches.

Flickering Myth

Dahl's rhymes are undeniably infectious and some of the subversive moments do prove intermittently hilarious, but overall it's just fine, really.

Rated: 3/5

Doesn't capture the same enchantment as either the original fairy tales or Dahl's book, but should get a pass from most indiscriminate children.

Rated: C

Perhaps one of the most faithful adaptations of Dahl's work, 'Revolting Rhymes' keeps all of the wit and cruelty of his writing intact while enveloping it within a genuinely interesting framing device that keeps its audience captivated.

Fairytales with a touch of The Gruffalo told from the a new perspective. Our 4 and 6 year old love it.

The ending to this movie is truly perfect. The wolf's veganism really makes the movie whole.
