For people wondering, this is not a Japanese take on Disney (even though the Japanese are crazy for Disney) or even the original tales for the Red Riding Hood or Cinderella. This is the film adaptation of a Japanese book series by Aito Aoyagi, that brings some irony, dark humor and Sherlock Holmes's wit to traditional European fairy-tales, so it's pretty much a Japanese product. The titles of the series are pretty hilarious, like "Red Riding Hood meets Pinocchio, and then finds a dead body".
