Upcoming movie “Hoodwinked! Hood vs. Evil” is at sequel to the 2005 movie, “Hoodwinked.” It’s a slight movie and seems to want to do one better than fairy tales and contains lots of references to “Shrek.” The Red Riding Hood clone is voiced by Hayden Panettiere. She’s a much feistier version than Amanda Seyfried in Catherine Hardwicke’s recent go at the fairy tale. And this Red Riding Hood is a whole lot better at martial arts than Seyfried’s version. The animation is a lot like a big crayon and Panettiere’s performance is about as deep. Patrick Warburton plays the Wolf and David Ogden Stiers is the frog who’s the boss of the organization called Happily Ever After, or HEA. Box office for new movie “Hoodwinked, Too!” is actually expected to be poor and it will go quickly to DVD.
The new movie release explains the story of the first movie in a quick intro. It tells how Red, voiced by Panettiere, saved Granny, played by Glenn Close, from the clutches of Boingo the Bunny, played by Andy Dick. He is now in an institution. Wolf is working for HEA, an FBI like organization, and Red is in training ...
... in a monastery. Her education seems to combine baking cookies and Kung-fu. Granny is busy, in “Hoodwinked Too!,” stopping Joan Cusack, who voices an evil witch, from baking Hansel and Gretel (played by Bill Hader and Amy Poehler, respectively) into a pie. Granny then gets herself kidnapped. Red leaves the monastery, teams up with Wolf, earns her black belt and stops the witch from ruling the world.
This movie picture also spews a lot of sitcom like jokes in order to get adults to buy the kids the tickets to see it. This is going to be a hard movie to market. There are lots of good scenes and it’s well directed by Mike Disa, but it’s not quite all there.
