Grizzly (Xzibit) and Stork (Anthony Anderson) are critter cops who are investigating a disturbance of the peace at between Granny (Glenn Close), her granddaughter Little Red Riding Hood (Anne Hathaway), a Big Bad Wolf (Patrick Warburton) and a Woodsman (James Belushi). As the duo interviews the parties involved they suspect Granny is not as helpless as she lets on, Red has hidden motives, Wolf is not much of a predator and the Woodsman might be as dense as the tress he cuts down.

Critics Consensus

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

Lessons of Darkness

Somnambulistic from start to finish, it's a film whose title clearly refers to its paying-customer audience.

Rated: D

Despite its occasionally unfinished feel, Hoodwinked will probably keep everyone (adults and kids) entertained for its very brief running time.

AniMat's Review (YouTube)

I often like to call this the best movie with the worst animation. It looks terrible, but the film itself is great nonetheless.

Rated: 7/10

Dispute the horrid animation, the movie is not only really smart with its “who dunnit” plot, but is also genuinely hilarious. If only this had a bigger budget so it could be truly amazing.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This is one of those movies with one thing SO BAD in it but I can excuse it because everything else is amazing. The animation is some of the worst animation to come out of a movie but this is truly an example of don't judge a book by its cover. The story and characters are so well done and I highly recommend this movie

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

This movie is a generational classic. I cannot recommend it enough- you'll be quoting it a decade after watching it.
