Comments

From Bonnie : This is one of the funniest animated shorts I have ever seen. I laughed until I couldn't breathe and then we begged them to show it again! The writing is brilliant, the animation is a beautiful mix of classical and quirky, and the voice characterization is just perfect. I can't wait until it is released so I can see it again.

I have seen "Redux Riding Hood" and would like to
