AUDIENCE SCORE

Critic Consensus: This fractured fairytale doesn't have the wit or animation quality to compete with the likes of the Shrek franchise.

Movie Info

Forget everything you know about Little Red Riding Hood; the classic fairy tale gets a new look and a new style in this computer-animated comedy for the whole family. Grizzly (voice of Xzibit) and Stork (voice of Anthony Anderson) are a pair of critter cops who have been called the homey bungalow of Granny (voice of Glenn Close) to investigate a disturbance of the peace. It seems there was an altercation involving Granny, her granddaughter Little Red Riding Hood (voice of Anne Hathaway), a Big Bad Wolf (voice of Patrick Warburton), and a Woodsman (voice of Jim Belushi). However, as the detectives interview the participants and get each individual's perspective, they learn that Granny isn't so helpless, Red may have been doing more than just visiting relatives, the Wolf isn't the predator he's been cracked up to be, and the Woodman doesn't have much of an intellectual advantage over the trees he chops down. Hoodwinked also features the voice talents of Andy Dick, David Ogden Stiers, and Chazz Palminteri.

Someone give these folks a real budget so they can make a movie that looks as good as it sounds.

November 27, 2006 | Rating: B-

A breezy, passably funny spin on a children's classic, mixing slapstick and farce with character humour and delighting in demolishing stereotypes.

The production contains enough positive elements to make it worth a look, but not until it reaches DVD or TV. As a theatrical offering, it disappoints.

January 21, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

A warped, but mildly amusing twist on the childhood favourite.

January 13, 2006 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The digital animation ranges from competent to clunky, the jokes too often feel tossed-off and random, and the movie too often descends into dullness, only to be yanked back from the abyss by the goat.

January 13, 2006 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Offers a few laughs but overall is pretty tired.

Audience Reviews for Hoodwinked

A funny and okay movie. I didn't love it, and the animation sucked, but this movie was funny and a interesting take on the story.

the actors all did there part in this film, and the result is pretty entertaining, with an entertaining twist on the story of red riding hood, the reason why i enjoy the film is how each of the stories are linked by the telling of each story told by each character

Okay...seriously? I can do animations better than this...this is like It's a Small World, animatronic creepy. And what a shame, too, because the script isn't half bad.
