Mike DisaHoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil (Blu-ray + DVD)

Not the one I wanted and while this movie is also a great movie, I wanted to return it. But there’s no option to do that.

Great movie

This is a sequel that did get to the big screen. Usually sequels to animated films go directly in video, but this was shown in the theater. The animation is an improvement to the original "Hoodwinked" with only some of the original voice cast coming back. Hayden Panettiere replace Anne Hathaway as Red Puckett, and new characters are added. I have to say that though this has been stomped on by a few reviewers, I actually liked this film. The plot is absurd and wacky, but still fun to watch, it even had a few laughs sprinkled here and there. The Hansel and Gretel characters, however, were a mistake -- that whole aspect was awkward. Verushka the Witch turning out to be a sympathetic character was a nice touch. But I wish there was more of Boingo the Bunny -- he had only one scene and he was tied up in prison somewhere. It was also surprising that the producers got Wayne Newton to the voice of the Harp -- that was actually very funny. Heidi Klum was an odd choice as a martial arts action hero. In the special features section of the DVD they had an interview with her and they show scenes that weren't used in the final cut. Patrick Warburton is always hysterical no matter what he does, always good to hear him. In the special features section he talks about how the Wolf grew as a character, going through changes in the film, becoming a better wolf. Red Puckett, as in the first film, has gigantic eyes that are distracting in the film. Also her cape seems to change length in different scenes. The film is a send up of spy movies, action films, and such such TV shows as Starsky and Hutch (using the same car in that TV series), and naturally an absurdist send up of countless martial arts films. The object sought, a recipe that gives people superpowers, is intentionally ridiculous. All that effort to get back a recipe? An action film for the Food Network. Just ludicrous! And Japheth the Goat gets dumped on too many times. I liked the extended gag of Red looking for what DCT stood for and all the things it can stand for. This is a film that is actually better than others have said. Too often any animated film that isn't Pixar gets trashed or ignored, when in fact Pixar films aren't really all that wonderful. This was made by Kanbar Entertainment, with facilities by Starz Animation and Bardel Animation, among others. And the animation holds up very well, with the rendering actually very good.

Great animated features are able to entertain people of all ages and levels of education. The original Hoodwinked is just such a movie. While Hoodwinked Too! may appeal to children, it has little to offer the rest of us. The storyline is flat with few surprises. The clever, multiple narratives interlacing the original movie's storyline are missing from the sequel. A couple of the principal voice actors have been replaced (Red, Kirk the Woodsman) causing their characters to lose some their edginess. Benjy Gaither's Japeth (the goat) has been reduced from a self-reliant and resourceful genius to a helpless, Job-like victim.Something in the artistic quality of the drawn characters was also lost in their CGI transformation in order to appeal to the 3-D market. The extensive time and creative talent that went into producing the original is clearly missing from Hoodwinked Too! If the producers, goal was to produce another children's movie quickly, and under budget then they have succeeded. If their goal was to reprise the success of the original Hoodwinked, they have failed. Perhaps, because the first movie was so great, I am disappointed because I expected more.

I really enjoyed the first movie and was looking forward to the sequel, reprise of the characters and all the shenanigans. I have two boys 6 and 8 and they liked the first one as well as my wife. We enjoyed this movie too. Was it as good as the first one, no. It doesn't have the clever different character perspectives, etc. but it was entertaining. For the adults there are parodies of other movie characters and lot's of one liners. For the kids theirs the usual slap stick and twitchy the squirrel plays a bigger roll. No Academy Awards here but it was fun for a movie night with the kids.

Have you seen Hoodwinked? If not... go get it! Funny for adults and children... this is the sequel! And it is as funny as the first! Many of the same characters are back in this sequel and it is a good one for kids of all ages! My children are grown now 24,23 and 20... but we still watch movies as a family when we can.... They loved Hoodwinked and were excited when the sequel came out! They laughed like they were little! You have your favorite "fairy tale" characters in a story plot thats all new! It really updates the traditional stories in a way that children will relate. A great movie for all ages!

Still worth a watch, but not quite as good as the original. Spy's in faryland still works. just not quite as well

We were thrilled that the singing goat was a part of this fun sequel to the original 'Hoodwinked' movie. Although we were bummed Anne Hathaway didn't play the voice of 'Red', there are returning voices/characters. Boingo the Bunny, Granny, the Wolf, Twitchy, and the Goat remain the same. Also, Joan Cusack plays the voice of the witch, and does an amazing job--her cackling, wicked laugh is OUTRAGEOUS! It might scare a younger set of kids, so, head's up to parents. Like the first 'Hoodwinked', it's funny for kids while providing some good humor for adults, too. If you like the first movie, this is worth watching/getting, even though it has a different twist. We did not feel it was predictable, and yeah, we just LOVE that singing goat!

Not a patch on Hoodwinked. Don’t bother.

No sequel could really touch the brilliance of Hoodwinked, but it was nice to see the characters again. You need a multi-region DVD player to watch this in the UK. But thanks to a fab £30 buy from Amazon - no problemo.

not has good has the 1st ,I like the singing goat and every time he came on for a few seconds he was taken off by some daft idea which spoilt the film for me this happened about 5 times

Not happyBought this for my son as he loved the first one and is in to 3D at the momentGot round to watching it with the 5.1english as advertised but it is a lie as only French available and a very upset little boy

I'm sure I would have liked this a lot. Unfortunately I could not get it to work for me, and neither could my daughter who uses Blu-ray frequently, so sad city. It arrived in good time and well parcelled - just one of those things
