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

Rating:  - Incredibly funny cartoon
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. ... Read More
Rating: - Love this movie!
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.
Rating: - Wasn't expecting this...
Hoodwinked
After the success of Shrek and many Pixar films, it seemed like everyone was just throwing out any computer-animated movie they could make. None of them could capture the feeling Pixar and Shrek give to us. Oddly enough, Hoodwinked delivered on nearly every single level.
Hoodwinked is the retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. The movie starts off with the scene of Red going home to visit her grandmother only to find that the wolf has disguised himself as her grandmother. ... Read More
Rating: - Great movie!
We love this movie. I have 2 kids, ages 11 and 12 and the four of us (my husband also) enjoyed it very much. It definitely has a unique style of humor to it, and you have to be the type of person that appreciates this type of satirical writing, otherwise you'll think it's weird. The humor is older, though, making this definitely NOT a young kids movie.
Rating: - Great for any family, but an exceptional find for grandparents and middle-aged fathers
Hoodwinked has countless inside jokes with laugh-out-loud momentary references to films and even old-time radio (with particular respect for Stan Freeberg and Nightbeat) spanning the past six decades.
