This tedious late '50s West German children's film was released in the United States in 1966, after which it probably played Saturday matinees for a few years until being blessedly forgotten. Something Weird Video brought the film to home video in 1996, and now AGFA (the American Genre Film Archive) has made it available for cinema obsessives such as myself. If your idea of a good time is an hour's worth of people in bad animal costumes parading across the screen while delivering platitudinous warnings about avoiding wolves and other strangers - and singing the occasional terrible song - this is definitely the film for you. If that doesn't entice you, and you don't feel a compulsion to see every last movie ever made, you can safely skip The Big Bad Wolf.
