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.

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

Simply not worth the effort or expense of a family night out at the movies.

If this movie wasn’t unwatchable, I’d easily give it a 10/10. I love Hoodwinked! The animation is really bad! That’s not saying much though…the story is so well executed, you could just not mind the animation! 9/10!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

The writing was phenomenal and impressive for the time. Usually bad films focused more on the visuals and less on the story, but here, it focuses on the story more than the visuals. Impressive.

One of the best movies of it's time, I'm not sure what all the other ratings are saying, but it's humor is wonderful, it's generally a great quote able movie, I find myself quoting the goat more than I should, and the whole reason it's great it the bad animation style, I do recommend

Hoodwinked is pretty decent but it’s not a great movie. It has a funny story and the music was pretty good but I do have a few complaints. The animation isn’t great but it honestly added to the humour and the bunny’s jump from neutral to evil was a little jarring but funny as well. It’s funny but not worth more than one or two watch throughs.

I really like this movie. I think the comedy in it is really good. There are a few things in the plot that I don't like, but outside of that it's still a really good movie. The only issue is the villain like it would have been funnier if it was Granny or even a setup by Red Riding Hood. But no, we had the stupid bunny and even then this movie still gets my 12-year-old seal of approval 👍
