Once Upon a Crime is a 2023 Japanese fantasy comedy crime mystery film, starring Kanna Hashimoto and Yuko Araki in the main roles as Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella, respectively. Directed by Yūichi Fukuda, the story combines the story elements of Cinderella and the Little Red Riding Hood, as the Little Red (Hashimoto) uses her investigative skills to try to solve the mystery behind the murder.

Premise

Little Red Riding Hood meets Cinderella in the woods. Together, they meet witches and express their desire to go to the ball at the castle. The witches give them pretty dresses, shoes and a carriage driven by an anthropomorphic mouse. On their way to castle, they run over a corpse and, upon a closer look, Little Red Riding Hood exercises her detective skills. They hide the corpse and proceed to the ball, where Cinderella has a dance with the prince until guards report the discovery of the corpse.
