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


Synopsis

It was a crime that rocked the fairytale world. Now Granny's woodland cottage is being turned into a crime scene as all the familiar storybook characters are called in for questioning. Shocking truths are revealed, casting doubt on everything you once held as true; does Little Red Riding Hood have a darker side? Is Granny living a secret life? Could the wolf simply be misunderstood? And what were the woodsman's real motives? Told in flashback, HOODWINKED takes the classic fairytale and turns it on its head, resulting in a wonderfully irreverent whodunit for the post-modern age. Featuring the vocal talents of Anne Hathaway, Glenn Close, Jim Belushi, Andy Dick, Chazz Palminteri, David Ogden Stiers, Xzibit, and Anthony Anderson.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brill!, 17 Jan 2007
By Cara Wells "Irishcara22" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I watched this some time ago and thought it was fab! Bear in mind i am 25 and loved it, this animation is aimed at adult humour but kids will find this great too! The concept of the story is just great, they took an old-fashioned story and gave it a 2006 upgrade with a fab "Who Dunnit" storyline.

The characters are all great too i especially loved the mad goat who had different horn attachments for all his needs, he has one for opening bottles for example! and he sings a very catchy little tune which i got stuck in my head for days when i watched it, all i can say is BE PREPARED!

I am not going to give away any of the story i think you should see for yourself what i am raving about.

BUY IT NOW you will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars GET HOODWINKED , 8 Dec 2006
Probably the best childrens animation of recent years, the cast seem to put more into it than the usual wooden voice acting you get. For anyone with a love of films like Shrek, this one raises the bar again and is simply stunning.

Fun for all the family!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! , 12 April 2007
By Anna Heelas "A Heelas" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Hoodwinked is certainly worth a watch! It is a fast moving, exciting and entertaining film for the whole family. It uses new, creative ideas and it is capable of entertaining and amusing everyone.

The story is very loosely based on the tale of red riding hood in the sense that they have used the characters from the familiar story. But this film has given each character depth; nobody is quite as they seem and everybody has an agenda.

In my opinion, this is one of the better childrens films; I just think that the creators have used their imaginations to produce something really different. The music in Hoodwinked is also of a very high standard it is catchy and funny without being annoying and it generally uses good tunes with good voices.

I recommend Hoodwinked as an amusing and creative childrens film.
