Naše Karkulka is a Czechoslovak animated film produced by Studio Bratři v Triku, and released in 1960. Naše Karkulka is a film adaption of Little Red Riding Hood by Jiří Brdečka. This short film contains several differences from the original tale. Most notably, the film completely skips over Little Red Riding Hood talking to the wolf on her way to her Grandma's house.
Upon reaching Grandma's house, the wolf comically swallows a living garden gnome after mistaking it for a person. From there, he disguises himself as a sick dog so he can get close to Grandma and eat her. The Wolf spends most of the film bloated after this and his stomach expands after eating Little Red Riding Hood. He is briefly shown normal again after he visits Little Red Riding Hood's parents at their doctor's office and her parents free them from the wolf. The family then fills the unconscious wolf with balloons and they let his floating body go near an airfield during an approaching storm. The Wolf Floats along for a while until a passing jet wakes him up and he yawns, letting out all of the balloons.
