A convoluted plot. The soundtrack is a bit like princess bride, or at least attempted to copy from. Was the target audience adults or children? Too corny for adults, and too adult-themed for children. Worst directing i have ever seen. A talented cast appear like they were selected from a hobo audition.
I am glad it went straight to video originally.
Maybe the problem is with the original story. Unlike other fairy tales. Of this sort, it does not seem to have a morale, or even a shred of beliveabiliy. Deus ex machina events could be explained with magic. But a wolf masquerading as a grandma insults the intelligence of little girls everywhere. Red Riding Hood is also plagued with disturbing sexual undertones.
Let us just forget about this garbage.
