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

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 7, 2025

It simply offers nothing new to the genre.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 11, 2020

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

| Original Score: D | May 31, 2011

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

Full Review | Mar 24, 2007

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

Someone give these folks a real budget so they can make a movie that looks as good as it sounds.

It's more than a little contrived, but Warburton's Wolf has a worldly, hard-bitten charm.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 30, 2006

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 30, 2006

The idea is so great that it's a crying shame that the end product is such a sheep in wolf's clothing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 29, 2006

A breezy, passably funny spin on a children's classic, mixing slapstick and farce with character humour and delighting in demolishing stereotypes.

Co-writer / director Cory Edwards has a lot of fun blending the detective genre with the familiar fairy tale world and the witty script throws up several hilarious one-liners, many of which will sail over the heads of a young audience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 28, 2006

In its simplicity, this film is to Pixar what the old hand-drawn Charlie Brown cartoons were to Disney.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 25, 2006

Saddled with cheap-looking animation and a far from stellar cast, this Shrek clone is a diverting but hardly memorable addition to a dangerously overworked genre.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 8, 2006

This revisionist, jokey interpretation of the bedtime story arrives in the considerable wake of Shrek and is found wanting.

| Jul 27, 2006

Makes up for both its simplistic animation and its similarity to Shrek by cramming the script with riotously funny dialog.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 20, 2006

Hoodwinked is what many animated movies aspire to be: enjoyably deconstructionist. The kids in my audience seemed surprised and delighted by how it engaged their minds.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 12, 2006

The animation isn't even comparable to the original Toy Story, but the clever wit behind the plot and characters is.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 10, 2006

A delightfully whimsical, carefree film that is short on action, but long on funny one-liners.

| Original Score: B | Apr 15, 2006

..the computer animation is adequate at best, but that doesn't get in the way of some genuine cleverness.

Full Review | Feb 27, 2006

an irreverent, imaginative and often just plain weird spin on the classic fairy tale

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 17, 2006
