Children-TV masterpiece

That is - to my opinion - one of the best foreign TV movies for kids - of all times. In fact even adult viewers will find a lot to laugh about in to be amused it - while watching. It is anything but primitive. Plot is intricate, funny and fast paced. Actors are absolutely brilliant. Musical score is legendary! (makes me wonder actually - will they ever release a CD). The plot itself thickens from the very beginning when - the wolf clan hires an outside wolf-MERC - to track down and kill the Little Red Riding Hood (actually more of a Bonnet - in the Russian version) But there's no unity within the wolf clan. The little cub - has been studying human book. Secretly. And is not a primitive carnivore anymore. And the charismatic wolf-MERC - is so full of battleground wisdom. And his timid companion he's forced to take care of. And the betrayal of cowardly human "the hunter". Oh! The plot is VERY intricate. Definitely worthy title!
