Disney Little Red Riding Hood

http://youtube.com/watch?v=CdsxZJ791Xg

In this version there is no wolf at all. Instead it is a magician and there aren't any wards so you kinda have to figure things out by the actions. Little Red also has a dog that goes with her and she is saved by a man in an airplane who she falls in love with at the end.

This version of The Little Red Ridding Hood is a slide show with song. It is different than the versions I know, because it is based off of the wolf's perspective. This version relates to the origional story because in it the wolf isn't portrayed only as a dangerous animal, but represents a bad man with not so good intentions, who is attracted to, and is pursuing a young woman.

Jamie- Bugs Bunny riding hood

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bIl5lzDj4s&feature=related

The version I have posted is a bugs bunny little red riding hood. It's funny because the girl is supposed to deliver the bunny to the grandmother and the wolf wants to eat the bunny when he saw the girl in the woods on her way to her grandma's. It's different from the original version because it's not the girl the wolf wants to eat, it's the rabbit. Anyways, towards the end, the girl keeps coming up and interrupting the wolf from trying to eat the rabbit so the rabbit and the wolf turn on the girl together and cook her. It goes back and forth between the wolf and rabbit trying to hurt one another, but at the end it's the girl who suffers.

Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs - Lil' Red Riding Hood

In this version, it's actually a catchy song by Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs called "Lil' Red Riding Hood." Basically, they take the point of the wolf and that ..."he wants love, rather than blood."
The following link has a clear version of the (part of the) song Lil' Red Riding Hood, but the video is made in part to a game called Blood Rayne. So just ignore the video, and listen to the music. =) And here are the following lyrics to the song as well.

This is the Grimm Brother's version of Little Red Riding Hood. In the end the wolf eats Little Red Riding Hood, but she is saved by a hunter who cuts open the wolf's stomach while he is asleep. The little girl is rescued and so is her grandmother. While the wolf is still asleep they fill his stomach with rocks and he awakes to only to fall dead to the floor. There is also another related story with an alternate ending...

This version of Little Red Riding Hood is very similar to the original. The difference is in the ending. As Little Red Riding Hood is being eaten by the wolf, a woodsman hears her being attacked. He goes to the cabin to save her and then the video ends and you don't find out what happened to Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood parody

Lil' Red From Da Hood:

In this parody of "Little Red Riding Hood"  the characters and settings are different. Instead of the little girl red riding hood it is a male figure whose name is lil' red who is a "gangata", a real o g! Instead of Lil' red going out for his ill grandmother he goes out for his god father who gave him his red outfit.  The setting is also set in the hood instead of the woods. 

This parody of "Little Red Riding Hood" is very silly and humorous. It is made by a bunch of younger boys, but again funny.

Perrault's "Little Red Riding Hood"


This is the link to the first-ever published version of the "Little Red Riding Hood" fairy tale by CHARLES PERRAULT. In his version, Little Red Riding Hood takes her clothes off and climbs into bed with the wolf! No woodsman saves her, nor her granny!:
