Hoodwinked!

About This Movie

Hoodwinked! takes the familiar Little Red Riding Hood tale and flips it on its head. The animation style has that early 2000s charm—think slightly rough around the edges but with a quirky appeal. The pacing feels a bit frantic at times, which keeps you engaged, but it also stumbles in places. The voice performances are pretty solid, especially Anne Hathaway as Red and Glenn Close as the Wolf, each adding their own twist to classic characters. There's a fun, almost self-aware humor throughout that plays with crime noir tropes, making it distinctive. It's not your typical kids' fare; there's a cleverness that appeals to adults too, though it might not fully land for everyone.
