Hoodwinked (Blu-ray + DVD) (2005)

Was the Wolf framed? Is there more to Red-Riding Hood than her keen deductive ability and her hood? "HOODWINKED" asks these questions in a film more family friendly than SHREK. Sure, comparison to the SHREK films in unavoidable when twisting fairy tales. But Hoodwinked has it's own style, although it is a less slick style than Pixar or Dreamworks. Just with more quirky songs and more awkward charm.

HOODWINKED,is a FRACTURED FAIRY TALE in the spirit of Jon Scieszka's The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. The movieopens like a traditional telling of Red-Riding Hood,with "Red" voiced by Anne Hathaway taking goodies to Granny, voiced by Glenn Close, she finds the wolf, a woodsman (Jim Belushi) leaps in with an ax.....then the police arrive. The best Of these retellings are by the Wolf, voiced by Patrick Warburton, and Granny. The Wolf reveals that he is an undercover reporter who not only dresses like Chevy Chase's Fletch, but he shares Fletch's disguise kit and soundtrack. Warburton plays the Wolf perfectly in every scene. Granny's retaling parodies "XXX" in her taste for extreme sports is revealed. Other notable voices and cameos by Andy Dick, David Ogden Stiers and Xzbit.

The film is loaded with great one-liners, pop references and gags that will appeal to all-ages.

not the usual tired fare that unfortunately makes up most children's movies (even disney these days)

this is a super clever rewrite of little red riding hood with all sorts of zany characters and twists on the original. it's funny, fast-paced and amazingly no violence, sex or profanity. Good job!

I went to see the movie 3 times. I loved it every time and now I see it is coming out finally on dvd in May. One of the best parts of the movie aside from the beautiful job the cast did, is the soundtrack to it. Critters Have Feelings is one of the best trailer songs in years. I hum it all the time. I agree that Twitchy is the star of the show, Red was absolutely divine and granny is extreme. Anne Hathaway is great.

...you'll love Hoodwinked. If you are looking for sheer cinematic glory in the form of perfect CGI animation, look somewhere else. This movie was made on a shoe-string budget, but that doesn't take away from the great script and fantastic voice work of the cast. Red, Granny, the Wolf, and the Woodsman are questioned by the forest police in connection with the break-in at Granny's and a recent string of goody recipe thefts. Voice talent includes Anne Hathaway, Glenn Glose, Patrick Warbutron, and Jim Belushi. However, my favorite character was Twitchy, the Squirrel, voiced by one of the movie's creators, Cory Edwards.

You think you know the story of Little Red Riding Hood? Well, forget everything you think you know, because "Hoodwinked" sets the story straight. "Hoodwinked" is the true story of Little Red Riding Hood, told from the points of view of Red Riding Hood (Hathaway), the Big Bad Wolf (Warburton), the Woodsman (Belushi), and Granny (Close). While being questioned by Nicky Flippers (Stiers), the four tell their side of the story, and none are what you will expect. It seems that there is more going on than meets the eye here, and Mr. Flippers is going to get to the bottom of it.

"Hoodwinked" is an interesting twist on a classic story. That classic story is just a jumping point for all that is going on behind the scenes, and that will all come together to give the story that we all know. The voice talents are all good, but not outstanding. The animation is sub-par though, looking like something made for TV. That is the film's biggest downfall. In an age where Pixar has spoiled moviegoing audiences, the animation in this film is at times painful. Kids will probably love it though, and that is all that really matters I suppose, since they are the target audience.
