History Literature / TheWolfAndTheSevenYoungKids

** A [[TheMusical 1976 musical adaptation]] of the story called ''Mama''/''Rock'n'Roll Wolf'' was created, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shU4Vce_jJQ human actors]] [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals dressed up as animals]]. The film loosely follows the story, with a few differences. The mother goat (named Rada) decides to leave her children at home to attend the village festival instead of going to get food. One notable difference is that the goat kids are reduced to five instead of seven and the clock that one of the goat kids hides in is absent. Another major difference from the story is that the wolf's motives are different. Instead of the wolf (named Titi Suru) wanting to eat the goat children, he decides to capture them for ransom to get a bag full of gold. The wolf has his own henchmen, such as a donkey, another wolf who's his cousin, and a lynx, who all help capture the goat kids. It is later revealed that the reason he decided to kidnap her children is [[FreudianExcuse because he wanted a family of his own.]] [[HeelFaceTurn He and his henchmen have a change of heart]] [[SparedByTheAdaptation by the end of the film]]. The film was a [[InternationalCoProduction co-production between Romania, the Soviet Union, and France,]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC02PNnOVsw later gained an English dub.]]

* ScareEmStraight: [[AdultFear Don't let strangers in the house]] - or they might kill you and your siblings!

* AdultFear: The Mother goat comes home to find her house has been broken into, and all but one of her children have been (presumably) killed and eaten by a wolf. She then has to witness the wolf having a BalloonBelly with her still living children inside. Thankfully, she proves quite the MamaBear...

* PublicServiceAnnouncement: On January 2021, Japanese disaster prevention awareness foundation "Everyone's disaster prevention + Sonae" (みんなの防災プロジェクト実行委員会, "Min'na no bōsai purojekuto jikkō iinkai") created a 4 minute anime adaptation of the story (starring the foundation's mascots as one of the goat children), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iFkMjTwJik to raise awareness on potential disasters to parents and younger children in Japan.]]

* FanservicePack: While most adaptions prefer to portray the goat mother as a middle aged woman, Some adaptations like to portray her as [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/f1722baf11fb532819f40216fd59613c/tumblr_p2a26sALje1wba83ho1_400.png young]] and [[https://i.imgur.com/a2k9W68.png beautiful]]. Most notably the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsEuON-8-Pg Toei animation from 1986]] and [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81XgjPZOgGL.jpg Shogo Hirata's illustrations from a 1985 book adaptation]] (The Mother Goat's design would later get reused for the 1986 anime). Even the 1976 musical ''Mama''/''Rock'n'Roll Wolf'' gave The Mother Goat a notably prettier and younger appearance.

* CompressedAdaptation: Most animated and book adaptations of the tale usually focus on the Wolf, the Goat children and Mother Goat. As a result, the only human characters of the story, such as The Baker and The Shopkeeper, are rarely seen. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GswJyEh7jgA The exception is the 1978 anime adaptation, which features both characters.]]

While not gaining as much film or animated adaptations as ''Little Red Riding Hood'' and other stories by The Brothers Grimm. The story has been adapted into animations in the past, mostly in Japan where that fairy tale is very popular. The story was loosely adapted into animation with the 1957 [[EasternEuropeanAnimation Russian animated short]], while receiving two live-action adaptations (the 1957 film from Germany which expands on the story, and a musical from 1976 called ''Mama''/''Rock'n'Roll Wolf'').

The 2018 StopMotion animated short ''Anime/MyLittleGoat'' by Tomoki Misato is [[{{Grimmification}} a darker and more realistic take]] on the tale.
