Little Red Riding Hood Cartoon

http://joyreactor.com/post/510259
Little Red Riding Hood is one of the most well-known stories. The little girl is given bread and wine by her mother to give her sick Grandmother. Her mother warned her to stay on the path and go straight to Grandma’s house. While on the path, the little girl encounters a wolf, who asks where she’s going. Little Red explains that she is going to her Grandma’s house at the end of the woods. The wolf convinces Little Red to stray off the path and pick flowers while he runs to her Grandma’s house. While he was at the house, he tricked Grandma into thinking it was Little Red, broke in and ate Grandma. When Little Red arrives at the house, she notices that something is different about Grandma but she still got close to her. When she was close enough, the wolf ate Little Red but a hunter walked by the house and noticed that the door was open. So the hunter walked in and saw a wolf but instead of killing him, he cut open the wolf’s stomach and out came Little Red and Grandma. The hunter then put rocks in the wolf’s stomach and killed him.

The cartoon, found on the website, "joyreactor.com" by a person with the screen name, "Re-L Mayor," has a relatable twist to the story. When Little Red enters the house she sees it’s such a mess because the wolf had attacked and killed Grandma. She enters the bedroom and sees her Grandma in bed but it was actually the wolf in the bed. Instead of worrying about who her Grandma was, she was more concerned about how the house looked. So Little Red had her Grandma or the wolf put into a nursing home. I thought it was funny because my room is always a mess and it makes my parents extremely upset. This is also found in many households, especially ones that have a busy day-to-day lifestyle. On a more serious side, it can be used to show how a grandparent’s child might be concerned about how the grandparent is living and might believe that a nursing home is the best option. The child might believe they know best even if they don't ask for the full story. Either way you look at it, the cartoon can create a relatable yet fun twist to a well-known story.

Why I Chose This Course: Fairytales have always been apart of my life since I was a little girl until now. I love just about every Disney Princess movie out there and I know that while some of the movies are Disney’s original writing most of the plots are adaptations of other stories. Knowing this has always made me curious about the origin of most Disney movies. After reading the description of this course, I immediately become interested in this course. Knowing that I was curious about the history of fairytales, I decided that this was the perfect topic for my first class at McDaniel.

Comparing the movie, "The Brothers Grimm," to the real life of the Brothers Grimm

In the first chapter of his book, The Brothers Grimm, Jack Zipes depicts an accurate description of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s life, starting from when they were born, to their studies in school and careers, and ending with the death of Jacob. Zipes goes into detail about their family life and their studies and their drive to be the best in the classes. He also goes into depth about how they collected their stories and all of the work they have published.  The movie, “The Brothers Grimm,” directed by Terry Gilliam, also shows a description of the Brothers Grimm while incorporating parts of the fairytales that they had collected into their lives. Gilliam also added and left certain parts of the Grimm’s lives out of the movie in order to keep it entertaining.  Even though the movie gives light into the Brothers Grimm’s lives, some of the movie is not true, or fiction. To start the first scene of the movie it shows one of the brother’s sisters very sick, which happ
