Movie Night: Hoodwinked!

Review #234: Hoodwinked!

Cast
Anne Hathaway (Red Puckett), Glenn Close (Granny Puckett), Jim Belushi (Kirk, the Woodsman), Patrick Warburton (Wolf W. Wolf), Anthony Anderson (Det. Bill Stork), David Ogden Stiers (Det. Nicky Flippers), Xzibit (Chief Ted Grizzly), Chazz Palminteri (Woolworth), Andy Dick (Boingo), Cory Edwards (Twitchy), Benjy Gaither (Japeth the Goat), Ken Marino (Raccoon Jerry), and Tom Kenny (Tommy) Directed by Cory Edwards, Todd Edwards, and Tony Leech.

Review
From what I've learned, this is one of the first independently produced computer animated films, and it does show. With a budget of less then $8 million dollars, the animation is severly lacking in some parts. And yet the film still is a lesson in how to follow your ambitions of making films with limited budgets. The cast can be fun at times, but the film feels more like Shrek at other times, being a moderately decent film hampered by some flaws.

Overall, I give it 6 out of 10 stars.
