Big Bad Wolf
A series of classic fairy tale works such as "Little Red Riding Hood", "Snow White" and "Cinderella" give us a taste of a magical magical world and a beautiful vision of life. But as the people who watch the stories grow up, they gradually stop believing these stories, but they also lose the goodness they originally gained from these stories.

For this animation production, the first problem is to string together each unrelated story in the original book, "we cut the verses out of the book, word by word comparison and decomposition", based on the original, they interspersed each story together to create a complete new story.
While the scene design and character props in the production of this work pursue the ultimate, they fully respect the original work, and the creative team's connection of each story has pushed it to a new height.

"Rebel Nursery Rhymes" is divided into two parts, the first part is the story of Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White told by the Big Bad Wolf, and the second part is the story of Cinderella Cinder and Jack with peas.
In the first story, the big bad wolf pretending to be a gentleman walks to the nanny who came to apply, and the wary woman, because of the goodwill shown by the big bad wolf, patiently listens to him tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, the three little pigs, and her two wolf nephews killed.

The new queen of the king brings a magic mirror that will tell the truth, the most classic "who is the most beautiful person in the world" brings the disaster of killing Snow White when she grows up, the queen sends the hunter to kill Snow White, and snow white, who is released by the hunter, meets the seven dwarfs and starts a new life in the city.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Little Red Riding Hood, who witnessed Snow White being taken away by the hunters but did not pull the trigger in time, returned home in frustration to find a wolf eating her grandmother, and the big bad wolf who intended to eat Little Red Riding Hood was "collapsed" and killed by the latter. Little Red Riding Hood then transforms into a bounty hunter and takes orders from the bank's pig manager, ending the life of a second wolf. At the same time, Little Red Riding Hood, who saw through the lies of the bank pig manager, had an extra pigskin suitcase.
The infamous Little Red Riding Hood
Snow White stole the Queen's magic mirror from the palace after the seven dwarfs lost all their belongings, and used the mirror's prophecy to find Little Red Riding Hood and earn a lot of gold, and Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood lived happily ever after.
double happiness
The story came to an abrupt end, and the big bad wolf who had finished the story tied up the nanny, put on the nanny's pink dress, and walked to the house where only Little Red Riding Hood's two children remained.
The second story unfolds slowly, and the big bad wolf easily enters the house, he does not rush to eat the two children, but tells them the story of the new version of "Cinderella" and "Jack and the Pea".
Cinderella, aided by the Magical Fairy, went to the Prince's Party in elaborate costume and left the banquet hall just as the magic vanished. The prince's fruitless search for Cinderella was fruitless, and he not only did not recognize Cinderella in dirty clothes, but also killed the killer.
The Prince and Cinderella
On the other hand, Jack got a pea from the magical fairy, which grew huge vines and countless gold, and Jack got the gold after countless attempts and bought the magical fairy's old house.
Eventually, the magical fairy appears when the prince is about to kill Cinder, giving Himen a chance to choose, and seeing the truth, she abandons the prince and lives with Jack, who runs a shop selling Cinder's strawberry jam.
Uncle Wolf tells stories
The story ends, the two children fall asleep, and Uncle Wolf bids farewell to little Red Riding Hood and returns to his own forest.
The four fairy tales still have a familiar taste in Uncle Wolf's mouth, but their meanings have changed completely differently. Starting from the doubts in the original work, the big bad wolf is used as the key character that connects the entire story.
happy ending
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the pursuit and rebellion of desire, and the portrayal of human nature is very close to reality</h1>
Uncle Wolf's two nephews, out of their instinct for food, killed Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother, and the insatiable piglet was greedy, which led to Little Red Riding Hood's hatred and killing of them, and the antagonism between Uncle Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood emerged.
Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood
Little Red Riding Hood learned to be strong because of her own weakness when Snow White was captured, Snow White took away the magic mirror for a better life, Cinder wanted to marry the prince in order to pursue a better life, but after seeing the true face of the prince, he understood what he wanted, and Jack fulfilled the promise of the magical fairy to stick to his heart and get what he wanted. From the pursuit of desire to the rebellion against fate to harvest growth, such fairy tales are the life of adults.

。
Some of the episodes in the story are really thought-provoking.
Little Red Riding Hood's Revenge: Little Red Riding Hood blamed herself for not saving Snow White, saw a wolf not only eating her grandmother but also putting on her clothes, she not only killed the wolf, but also pickpocketed the skin and made clothes to show uncle wolf, and then accepted the bank manager Piglet's request, killed another wolf, and then Little Red Riding Hood also killed the piglet who deceived himself, and made a suitcase, taking away a large bag of gold coins. Killing at this point has become a matter of course for Little Red Riding Hood.
Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood
The new queen was heartbroken, thinking that the hunter had killed the queen of Snow White, who was better looking than herself, and ate the fake heart (cow heart) that the hunter had brought back. The prince kills people, only because he can't find the Cinderella he wants, the prince kills innocents indiscriminately, and even kills Cinder at one point after his murderous nature. Cinderella was abused by her two sisters and was not even allowed to eat jam.
Uncle Wolf uses his own perspective to tell us the real appearance of the human world he sees, these stories make the female nanny moved by it, but at the same time, it attracts the laughter of two children, the antagonism between animals and people, the antagonism between adults and children, and growth is to let us see the truth of this society. After the audience knows everything, Uncle Wolf does not take revenge as we expected, but returns to the forest.
It turned out that Uncle Wolf had just come to tell us a story, and then quietly left. Just watching the story, we can't help but feel emotional, whether the hatred in this story is caused by animals or people, it is no longer important, what we harvest is the ultimate goodness, and let go of hatred in time.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the satire of reality brings alarm</h1>
At the funeral of Snow White's mother, the king, who was still wailing and crying one second ago, immediately announced that he was looking for a new queen, and when he found the new queen, he was still around all kinds of beautiful women, and he was indifferent to Snow White's various encounters. The prince's indiscriminate killing of innocents allows Cinder to see the truth about the royal family.
Reunion
The seven dwarfs who like to gamble, with the help of the Queen's Magic Mirror, become millionaires, and the helplessness of reality is sometimes like this, a living irony.
But the beauty of the fairy tale, we should also remember, the old wolf who gave up revenge gave the child a perfect Cinderella story, she was not looked like a prince, but also harvested the ultimate happiness, Uncle Wolf did not eat the child of Little Red Riding Hood, but chose to say goodbye and leave.
ponder
"Little Red Riding Hood, goodbye." In this not-so-beautiful fairy tale, they have a truly happy ending: learning to forgive.
After growing up, desire and "killing" will gradually make some people deviate from their own life tracks, wearing a wolf skin coat of Little Red Riding Hood with indifference to isolate the inner goodness, Uncle Wolf ended this cycle of hatred with "letting go", I believe that Little Red Riding Hood will also take off his wolf skin coat and find his original self.
