DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

invisibleunicornninja Animation - The overall look of this movie is pretty horrible. The settings and the character models are all hideously bad. Plot - The overarching story is pretty dumb. This movie is very comedy-based. Few things make sense and there is a lot of stupid. If you're willing to put up with the nonsense, this movie is really funny and entertaining. The ending is terrible, and when I watch this movie I rarely wait around for it. There isn't a lot to say about this movie. Its clever and funny with terrible animation and a bad plot. I'd recommend this, but be warned for every clever joke, there is some stupid.

Python Hyena Hoodwinked (2005): Dir: Cory Edwards / Voices: Anne Hathaway, Patrick Warburton, Jim Belushi, Glenn Close, Cory Edwards: Absolutely hilarious computer animated satire about fairy tales. We have all heard this story at some point in our childhood but chances are that we never heard it told quite like this. Little Red Riding Hood cycles to Granny's house delivering goodies. Once there she is confronted with the big bad wolf and that is where the plot takes an unexpected turn from the traditional story. Red, Granny, the woodsman, and the wolf are all arrested and taken into custody where their versions of the story are revealed. What director Cory Edwards does is double standards all these characters that result in hilarious storytelling that sidelines repetition with surprise. Anne Hathaway voices Red who knows martial arts and is out to solve the case at hand. Patrick Warburton steals scenes as the wolf who claims to be an undercover journalist. Jim Belushi voices the woodsman who dreams of being a stage actor. Glenn Close voices Granny who is a secret daredevil. Their stories parallel but not without surprise. Cory Edwards provides the high sped voice of Twitchy the squirrel, the wolf's photographer sidekick. Colorful and extremely funny reworking of the classic fairy tale that completely overturns our expectations on the roles these characters traditionally played. Score: 9 / 10

SnoopyStyle It's the classic Red Riding Hood tale but then the police investigation begins. It's an open and shut case until detective Nicky Flippers starts interrogating each of the classic characters. Red was hiding Grandma's recipe from the Goodie Bandit. Wolf is actually an investigative reporter looking for the Goodie Bandit. Granny is an extreme athlete and the Woodsman is a clueless aspiring actor.I don't mind modern references infecting the classic tale. They could do better than Fletch with the investigative reporter. The movie is not done particularly well or funny. The CG animation looks ugly. It has an interesting idea but it needs more compelling writing.

Rickting Hoodwinked! is one of quite a few animated movies I really like but few others care about. Red Riding Hood, the Wolf, Granny and the Woodcutter encounter each other at the house, and recount the events of that day Rashomon style. They are trying to solve the mystery of a goody bandit. Hoodwinked, although widely ignored, is in my opinion better than the Shrek movies and is a short, sweet, snappy animated gem. It has its issues though. As many reviewers have pointed out, the animation is awful. It does frequently look like a cheap, laughably bad video game, and as clever as the plot is younger kids may find it confusing. There are some dips, especially when the rather irritating Woodcutter is telling his story. He doesn't add anything to the film, although Glenn Close is a hoot as the extreme sports granny and Anne Hathaway's Red is a predictable but entertaining spin on the character. The Wolf, who amusingly turns out to simply be a reporter trying to catch the bandit, is the standout, but the show is stolen from them all by Japeth the singing goat, who is absolutely hilarious and despite his small screen time is easily cinema's greatest goat.Despite the terrible visuals, most of the other elements are spot on. The script crackles with energy and funny line after funny line is delivered. The action sequences are both funny and thrilling, and the plot is packed with twists and turns and all of the individual story lines link up nicely. The villain, who initially seems to be a cute bunny, is surprisingly menacing and entertaining. Overall, the jokes are very sharp and funny and most, if not all of them hit. The film has a sense of low budget charm, and doesn't feel like a factory product like many other animated movies but is instead far more interesting and inventive than the others. Some may see it as slight, but it should be admired for its great jokes, clever plotting, unexpected sophistication and the diversity of the different story lines. The animation is awful and the film does have a couple of dips but aside from that it breathes life into a never especially compelling fairly tale and provides a razor sharp hoot for the whole family. Worth watching for the singing goat alone.8/10
