Red Riding Hood

First, apologies for the lack of a link. I've no idea how to make one.
Scratch That, here goes: http://collection.eliterature.org/1/works/leishman__redridinghood.html

I "went" and viewed the Red Riding Hood animation we watched in class, because the little badass, visitor-alien lookin' girl intrigued me, and the music was cool. I also wanted to see if I missed anything.
The guys who made this piece were trying for a modern, urban chic retelling of the fable. RRH lived in a city, in a tall apartment building. and is accompanied by hip, funky tunes. Her mother was dressed well in a manner that showed off a bangin' bod. She even wore Palin glasses and red lipstick. And RRH gives her this disgusted, contempible look, like she already knows what the end of this journey will be, and believes her mother does as well.
RRH sets out, literally, of the city, and into the forest. (I'm a bit surprised they used a "real" one, and didn't make it a slum or mean ol' alley.) As she leaves the forest, she's stalked by the wolf, whom the artists leave as a wolf for a while before rendering him a bad-boy. This bad boy sidles up behind her on a modern, tricked-out scooter, to demonstrate he has some cash/ stole one. He keeps his wolf arms and gaze. But he's after more than a meal.
He introduces RRH to some dank weed/ flowers and sets her off the right path. Deep, man. Her judgment from this point is suspect. In any event, the Wolf overpowers the grandma, who could represent tradition or older morals, and lies in wait for RRH. She comes. (I'm gonna just, umm..., leave that.)
The Wolfboy knocks her up. She sleeps until he wakes her up with a gun to her dome, about to regulate. RRH smiles at the release from the thrall and circumstance she has been living under since falling for the Wolf.
This is still a cautionary tale. RRH here knew better- she is street-smart and a tough cookie, but she still falls for the tough guy and gets blown up (belly and head). The moral here is still don't trust strangers, in this case a boy, a lower class one at that, don't do drugs, and keep your knickers buttoned up. Or the stork and wolf will getcha'!
I thought that the approach was traditional- the story progressed in a linear manner, and the characters were easily recognized for what they were. Making the wolf a bad boy isn't a stretch, it's less of a leap than having an actual wolf in a bed. A city is an even more 'civilized' habitization than a cottage.
The piece works on its own, but knowing the original is helpful. If you can operate the computer, you're sharp enough to get the point.
I like the way RRH's face is rendered- she's given the personality of a little bad girl who [thinks she] knows what's what, and is gonna do whatever she thinks she can get away with. She's tough and not totally naive, but not really experienced. And she is funny lookin' enough to be humorous. I'd like to be able to create a character that has their personality out there, easily observed by all, without moving or speaking.
