Hoodwinked
Hoodwinked ★★★ 2005 (PG)
“Rashamon” meets the brothers Grimm as the Weinsteins introduce the kiddies to police procedurals and action flicks by way of “The Thin Man” and extreme sports. Red Riding Hood (Hathaway), Granny (Close), the Wolf (Warburton), and the Woodsman (Belushi) all get to tell their side of the famous story when the cops bust in on the proceedings. Plenty of references to genres and movies old and new ensure that adults will enjoy this one as much as, if not more than, the kids. Somewhat clunky animation is the only flaw. 89m/C DVD .
