Product Description
A comic adaptation of the classic tale about Red Riding Hood in which a domestic disturbance is investigated at Granny's cottage.
Amazon.com
Hoodwinked fuses the classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood with the crisscrossing storylines of film noir--pretty ambitious stuff for a computer-animated cartoon. The police cordon off Grandma's cottage and an amphibious version of William Powell named Nicky Flippers (voiced by David Ogden Stiers, M*A*S*H) begins interrogating the suspects: A Little Red in bell-bottoms (Anne Hathaway, Ella Enchanted), a Wolf turned investigative journalist (Patrick Warburton, The Woman Chaser), a snow-boarding Granny (Glenn Close, 101 Dalmatians), and a dimwitted would-be Woodsman (Jim Belushi, Curly Sue), each of whom have very different reasons for ending up in that cottage living room. The visual style of Hoodwinked mixes a clunky, video-game look with an homage to the stop-motion puppetry of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and other Rankin-Bass holiday specials. While sometimes awkward, there are also moments of surreal beauty, such as when a depressed Red wanders through a field of blue and red flowers--and moments of lunatic comedy, such as the Schnitzel song, which is irresistibly bizarre. The Shrek-style pop-culture references grow annoying, but the left-field goofiness of a yodeling goat points toward a far more distinct and delightful comic world. Also featuring the voices of Anthony Anderson (Kangaroo Jack), rapper Xzibit, and an especially witty turn by Andy Dick (NewsRadio) as a deceptively cute bunny rabbit. --Bret Fetzer

NICELY DONE August 28, 2010
MISTER SJEM (CALIF BAY AREA United States)
Writing this review before heading out tonight. I saw this one last week with my four nieces (ages 7 to 13) and I have to say it's one of those movies that adults and kids can both enjoy. There are several A list actor/actress voices (see below for names) in this RASHOMON style picture that favors comedy even though it has a pretty good well paced structure. It was nice to hear the voice David Ogden Steir as well (the Charles dude from M.A.S.H.). MY GRADE: B plus.

Excellent for use in the classroom to demonstrate different points of view -- kids loved it and really grasped the idea of how different characters interpreted the same situation. These were middle school students -- they asked for more different versions of well-known fairy tales.
Best Movie Ever May 15, 2010
EstrangeloEdessa
This is my favorite movie ever. It starts off with the original fairy tale, then gets crazier and wackier further on, until it suddenly ends with an evil bunny chasing down a granny on a muffin tin above a cable car. And it all makes SENSE, too. The animation isn't that great, but I don't mind--it makes the characters seem somehow doll-like, which I think is perfect for a fairy tale retelling. The mood switches from comically serious--the Wolf's story--to crazily insane--lumberjack!--and back again. I especially love how the villain is the bunny, the adorable little Boingo, the last person anyone would ever expect. My whole family adores this movie, from my dad to my five-year-old sister. When my friend and I first saw it, we spent months afterward quoting random lines from it. We still do, sometimes. It's THAT good.

My daughter loves this movie and it was nowhere to be found when I wanted to order it for her birthday. I decided to try Amazon. I was not disappointed, but delighted to find a brand new copy sent to my house within a week for less than I could have purchased it for in a store. My daughter was happy and surprised that I had found a new copy in time for her birthday. I was very pleased and will search Amazon for future purchases.

Hoodwinked was in excellent condition when I bought it. It came to house as fast as they could ship it and since then I've watched it at least a dozen times. I am so happy I bought it from Amazon because the price was lower there than any other place I looked.
