Because of the tiny budget, the film’s animation quality was heavily criticized upon release. The textures were flat, the character models looked stiff, and the lighting lacked depth. However, directors Cory Edwards, Todd Edwards, and Tony Leech turned this limitation into an asset. They leaned heavily into a stylized, almost claymation-like aesthetic and poured all their energy into writing, voice acting, and comedic timing. Global Box Office Success

Un aspecto característico y a menudo comentado de La increíble pero cierta historia de Caperucita Roja es su animación. Al ser una producción independiente con un presupuesto limitado, el resultado visual no cuenta con la pulcritud y el acabado liso de los grandes estudios de animación digital. Esta aparente limitación, sin embargo, se convirtió en un sello distintivo. Como en su día ocurriera con las primeras películas de estudio como Toy Story, esta película por un pequeño equipo demostró que se podían crear universos enteros con un estilo propio. Lejos de ser un obstáculo, la animación, que algunos críticos calificaron de "pésima", pasó a un segundo plano gracias a un guion ingenioso que mantenía el interés del espectador.
