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

 Exceptional movie June 25, 2009
Ralph Henderson (CO, USA)
This has to be one of my favorite of the relatively newer releases. It's one you have to watch more than once to catch everything. I highly recommend it!
Excellent! January 20, 2009
Love Gadgets (NJ, USA)
This movie is great for the whole family. After we rented it 3 times I decided to buy it as a family Christmas present. It is a spoof on Little Red Riding Hood and it is great for kids and has enough really funny stuff the adults will understand (not offensive). I highly recommend this movie to my adult friends who want to add a funny movie to their collection.
Best kids movie out there, bar none. November 27, 2008
Filio (USA)
This movie is the smartest, freshest and most all around entertaining movie in its class. Great story, great character development and great music make it a standout. It's got it all and tops my list of other fantastic kids movies such as Shrek, Toy Story, Jungle Book and Iron Giant.
Incredibly funny cartoon September 26, 2008
Fred Gilbert (Santa Barbara, California)
HOODWINKED is proof that a cartoon does not have to have the best animation or even the best artwork to be truly excellent. Made by a pair of brothers no one has even heard of, Tom and Cory Edwards, and distributed by the Weinstein brothers of Miramax fame, HOODWINKED provides a new and very twisted take on the Little Red Riding Hood fable. The plot as such involves someone stealing pastry recipes and plays out like RASHOMON, in that it ends up being told from various participants' perspectives. While the execution of the cartoon leaves something to be desired -- this is no SHREK or ICE AGE or MONSTERS INC. or even ROBOTS -- the story is absolutely hilarious and the characters (voiced by Andy Dick, Puddy, Glenn Close and Anne Hathaway) are wonderfully fleshed out. Some of the dialog is to die for, and plays equally well to adults and children. Just as importantly, HOODWINKED is a full-blown musical, and the music is as every bit as good as the dialog. The highlight is a number sung by a cursed billy goat (don't ask) as he explains his curse to Red and then takes her on the ride of her life. Many movies are referenced in HOODWINKED, including XXX, THE MATRIX and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, and there is a bizarre extreme sports sequence involving Red's surprisingly athletic grandmother. Oh, and the Three Little Pigs make a guest appearance as three klutzy cops. Enjoy. I know I and my family sure did.
Love this movie! September 25, 2008
Debra L. Phillips (Huntsville, TN USA)
Lots of action, humor, plot twists and fun. It's like a roller coaster ride. And the icing on the cake...it's a clean movie.
