Hoodwinked! (2006 movie) > Wiki
This new spin on an old fable is from first-time director Cory Edwards, who also co-wrote the story and screenplay.

In this digitally animated version of the classic tale, a bolder Red (Anne Hathaway) is a delivery girl for her Granny's sweets shop. The Big Bad Wolf (Patrick Warburton) is there as well, but this time he's not exactly a threat. As for Granny (Glenn Close), she's hardly frail and sickly; she has a big secret that she's keeping from everyone--including Red. Finally, there's the Woodsman (Jim Belushi), a struggling actor who drives a schnitzel-on-a-stick truck by day. <br> <br> When this foursome collides, they become suspects in an investigation by Detective Flippers (David Ogden Stiers), Chief Grizzly (Xzibit) and Detective Bill Stork (Anthony Anderson).

More Hoodwinked! (2006 movie) reviews
In my opinion the fairy tale as source material for an animated feature spans two extremes: On the one end is Shrek (and it’s seemingly never ending sequels) and the other are the Happily N’ever After films. Shrek does things properly with an original, witty, and engaging tale in the forefront and classic fairy tale spoofs and references thrown about for good measure. Better still they often integrate pop culture references with the medieval setting which is humorous by virtue … more

When we were young and lay abed We'd often heard the tale Of Riding Hood and hungry wolf But now that version's stale Thanks to this fresh and fractured film We go behind the scenes And analyze each character And all their ways and means The wolf is dressed in Granny-drag and Red's in obvious danger Granny's in the closet And the Woodsman's even … more

Pros: fun, witty, quick, good perspectives both implied and visual Cons: simple animation, over quickly The Bottom Line: Don't let appearances deceive you! Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie''s plot. Granny Puckett (Glenn Close) is famous for her delicious baked goodies. Everyone in the forest knows her granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood (Anne Hathaway), because she delivers those fabulous goodies … more

This was one funny and clever kid's movies I have seen recently. My kids loved it instantly, and asked to watch it again. If there's one thing that annoys me, it's judging a book by its cover, or, in the case of a CGI film, by the CGI budget. There's been a lot of badmouthing the animation on Hoodwinked, even by people who say that the story more than makes up for it. Well, it's true enough that the CGI is low-quality; but that does NOT translate to bad CGI, because high-quality graphics was not … more
