Using some of Prokofiev's recognizable score, Bono takes the classic story, tweaks it, uses the same characters, and tells us a tale about anger and what it can do. Here a young boy whose life seems devoted to hurting other things, has lost his family and lives with his grandfather. He is a stern man and only sees that the boy is unpleasant. But as time goes by, he begins to realize that this anger has a cause. The boy is obsessed with potentially killing a wolf. These animals are known to live in the nearby forest. He manages to capture the wolf but has a surprise when he does so. It makes him realize that what we do in anger can have painful consequences. I thought it was a bit slow and could have benefited from more of the original score--but that is a small criticism. I was quite taken.

I can defiantly appreciate the animation and time put into this film. I think the choice to use a drawn wolf overtop the "real" wolf was a great and unique choice that applied to the messages and concepts of the film. That being said this short should have been much shorter. I felt that there where many unnecessary scenes that provided nothing to the story. It was almost as if the animator had added extra visuals just because they felt like animating more scenes. It was as if the animator didn't trust the audience enough to imply anything, instead they showed you each tiny little action or interaction. I think you should give this film a watch for the visual interest, but don't have high expectations.

Peter (and) the wolf 9/10

Sometimes we all want the movie that want to deliver us a message , that want to tell us something , teach us a thing in life or give it a new breath and revive it . This is what this movie wanna do , and it does a great job at it .

When I first downloaded this movie , I honestly didn't know what to wait for, but then diving into the first minutes , I discovered a warm tale about a young boy , who , after the loss of his mother , becomes obsessed with a wolf . In people perspective , the wolf is a demon who must be killed , who must disappear and what gives more sense to this view is the first time the wolf appeared on the garden , we see it covered by the boy drawing of him , and later on , in the forest , we see the boy starting to become the wolf , become the thing that he was afraid of , in that moment of realization , the true nature of the wolf get revealed , as a poor animal who have children to feed and take care of . In that moment we realize that sometimes we stick with a certain picture of our creation , a certain way of viewing things or people , to the point that we become that thing , become what we were afraid of , and realize that everything we believed was just an illusion that we created . Personally Ive felt that this is the direct message that the movie wanted to deliver us , in a beautiful smooth animation , and an engaging narration that kept us hooked the entire time .

Finally , BEWARE FOR WOLVES COME IN DIFFERENT DISGUISES , that's why we should always try to see people as they really are before we become the WOLVES .
