Little Red Riding Hood's Amazing Adventure (1990)

Little Red Riding Hood's Amazing Adventure (Japanese: 赤ずきんの旅, Hepburn: Akazukin no tabi) is a 1989 Japanese-American animated musical comedy-drama adventure fantasy film directed by Tom Wyner and Shuki Levy. Based on the fairy tale stories including Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Alice in Wonderland, The Six Swans, and Rumpelstiltskin., the film went through a lengthy development process with a number of screenwriters. Ultimately, the screenplay was credited to Judy Freudberg, Tony Geiss and Peter S. Beagle; the storyline and art style differed from the original version. The original soundtrack was penned by the Academy Award-winning Sherman Brothers. The film features the English dub voices of Gabriel Damon, Mickey Rooney, René Auberjonois, Danny Mann, and Bernard Erhard.

The movie was infamous for being in development hell with many people with some worked at Disney and others who worked on Star Wars, some of the people who worked on Looney Tunes, as well as some people who would later found Studio Ghibli, figures such as George Lucas, Chuck Jones, Ray Bradbury, Isao Takahata, Brad Bird, Jerry Rees, Chris Columbus, Ken Anderson, Frank Thomas, Oliver Johnston, Paul Julian, Osamu Dezaki, the Sherman Brothers (Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman), Hayao Miyazaki(who was working at TMS at the time), and Gary Kurtz being involved with the movie before all dropping out.

The film was first released in Japan on July 15, 1989 and in the United States on August 21, 1992 by the Hemdale Film Corporation. It received mixed to positive reviews from publications including the Washington Post, Variety, the New York Post, the Boston Globe, and The New York Times, earned $11.4 million on a $35 million budget and was a box office bomb, but sold well on home video and has since developed a cult following.
