Good move, James. Good move.

It was getting quite confusing!

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

Hey, I have no problem with "Hoodwinked" making money. As a matter of fact, I'm glad to see that's it doing well.

And I've understood all along why the animation wasn't better than it was. But still, how much would it have cost to move Red's eyes around a little more?

Loved her design, however. And the squirell was hilarious.

A response to the director's explanation:

I don't think that he was really "Blaming his crew". I think he was just being blunt.

ShyVi, have you seen "Hoodwinked" yet? Because you certainly seem to be interested in it. ;)

Actually no, I haven't seen it yet.....but all the talk and debate has made me curious.


The designs are kind of blah, but I won't judge it before I've seen it. I'll probably wait for it to come to cable.

Well, I can't say the animation needs to be seen on the big screen. ;)

I enjoyed Hoodwinked, the story was fun. Though the animation did make be cringe a few times, (the river water looked like it took them 5 minutes)

Wendy's Jane wrote:I saw "Hoodwinked". My opinion seems to be that of others, in that it had a clever storyline and great voice work, but it needed better animation.
Just got back from seeing it, and I have to agree. GREAT cast, nice storyline, but terrible animation. But hopefully, that'll be better second time around.

The whole theme of the movie didn't remind me of Shrek as much as I thought it would; Hoodwinked seemed more focused on the whole fairytale aspect then Shrek did.

BTW, was anyone else totally shocked by the "Plot Twist" near the end of the film? Don't click below if you haven't seen the film:
When the villain turned out to be the cute pink bunny rabbit, I swear, I couldn't stop laughing. For some reason, I spent the entire movie thinking that the bear was going to end up being the baddie. How nice to see a surprise in an animated movie that everyone doesn't see coming ahead of time.
Glad to see that this thread came back to life.

The ax-man was robbed
It was pretty easy for me. :P

Yeah, I probably should've guessed it then.

He also pushed Red out of the cable car, but I somehow missed that.

He didn't push her, just opened the doors when she was leaning against them.

Ah, you're right. There goes my memory playing tricks on me again. :)
