Just a moment out if my day to let you know about my favorite kids animated movie if the past 10 years. Nemo? Cars? Wall-E? Bugs? Ants? No no no no and no. It's Hoodwinked the lower budget retelling of Red Ridinghood ala 7 Samurai or The Usual Suspects. The wolf I really an investigative reporter. In fact he IS Fletch complete with characters and a Magic Johnson Lakers #32 jersey. Voiced by Patrick Warburton he is the unexpected "hero" of this movie. Red wants out if the Forrest in the worst way and sings about it. Anne Hathaway plays the reluctant goodie deliverer who, when asked what they call her when she isnt wearing her namesake accessory responds snidley, "I usually wear it.". Which brings us to GrandMa the goodie making CEO of the most successful bakery in the forest. However in keeping with the nothing is as it seems atmosphere of he film she I in actuality an Xtreme athlete with a theme song titled "The Real G" that includes lines like, "75 alive in a hardcore bitty. Still making' half pipe hand plants look pretty. In the woody with the goodies for the Jacks and Jills. More power to the granny with the skillz." The wolf has an asisstant/photographer named Twitchy the squirrel who it is impossible to understand as he speaks waaaaay too fast. Please don't give him coffee. The Woodcutter (James Belushi) is really a german actor wannbe who currently sells schnitzel from an ice cream truck. The antagonist is actually attempting to corner the goodie market and need to do away with granny and red to get his way. Oh, and he is a cute bunny voiced by Andy Dick. He has a Dr Evil-esq lair and some euro trash henchmen/women. One of whom is sadly named Keith which just isn't mean enough for Boingo, "Watch out for Keith." Last but not least is Japeth the blind outcast singing goat. The title of this post is his song about why he has to sing every line he has. If nothing else he wants you to be prepared.
Rent it. Honestly you will be surprised.
iPhone says, "Red is Blue". Ben Folds from the Hoodwinked Soundtrack
"Trouble in your head now don't know what to do. Seems like up is down and Red is Blue."
