Roald Dahl Retrospective Episode 14: Revolting Rhymes

In this episode of the Roald Dahl Retrospective, Patricia, Arun,
and special guest Eli "TheHeroofTomorrow" Stone discuss about the
2016 BBC two-part animated TV movie Revolting Rhymes based on the
1982 book of the same name starring Dominic West, Rob Brydon,
Tamsin Greig, Rose Leslie, Gemma Chan, Bertie Carvel, David
Wailliams, Isaac Hempsey Wright, and Bel Powley. The story adapts
from Roald Dahl's interpretations of Little Red Riding Hood, Snow
White, The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk, and
Cinderella. The plot focuses on a wolf wanting to get revenge on
Little Red Riding Hood as she killed his nephews by eating her
two young children.   


Revolting Rhymes was nominated for the Academy Award for Best
Animated Short, but lost to Dear Basketball written and narrated
by the late Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Kobe Bryant and
animated by legendary Disney animator Glen Keane. It received
mixed to positive reviews from critics calling it a short,
charming film that captured the essence of Roald Dahl's stories,
but not as memorable as the other animated adaptations. What do
Patricia, Arun, and Eli think of the film? Listen and find out.
