Hoodwinked [DVD] [2006] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Product Information

I really had to listen to what was said, which is unusual in an animated film and I thought most of the humour would be over my children's heads. Strong was cast as Red and Zorra, Stiers was cast as Kirk, the Woodsman and Nicky Flippers, and Kenny was cast as Tommy and Woolworth the Sheep. Featuring the vocal talents of Anne Hathaway, Glenn Close, Jim Belushi, Andy Dick, Chazz Palminteri, David Ogden Stiers, Xzibit, and Anthony Anderson. He is holding a carrot crumpet that Red gave him earlier (which also indicates that this is prior to his meeting with Red on the cable car). During the first part of the race, the human team quickly eliminates Granny's teammates with physical tactics - snowballs for 2-Tone and Zorra, and in P-Biggie's case, Lisa skiing over his back.

The Weinstein Company also heavily recast the film with bigger-name actors in the hopes of attracting a larger audience.When Red comments on the Wolf's bad breath, he finally gives up any attempt at continuing to impersonate Granny and tears off the mask. He catches sight of her cloak and pursues it, unaware that Red is not actually under the cloak - a mistake he only realizes when he grabs it and finds that it is just being flown by a couple of hummingbirds, at which point the camera whips back to reveal that he is frozen in mid-air a few feet off the edge of a cliff. When he sits down, he is denied a drink by Grizzly, and also is struck across the hand with Stork's baton and taunted by Red. In 2002, Kanbar and Montgomery joined together in founding Kanbar Entertainment and Kanbar Animation, independent production studios that teamed with Blue Yonder Films for the production of Hoodwinked! A featurette on How To Make An Animated Film assures us, "You don't have to be a fine artist", but it helps.

Since none of the animators were specialists, they were not divided into specific teams, but instead each worked on all areas of the animating process. Wanting to do one of the voices in his movie and having watched a lot of squirrels, [16] Cory took on the role of Twitchy, and Pro Tools was used to speed up the recording of his dialogue by 50 percent. A few other animated films have followed this path, but not to the level of success that Hoodwinked was able to achieve. Red turns and finds herself facing the Wolf, who is wearing an athletic hoodie, and gives a friendly greeting. The tram car arrives at the upper terminal, inside a small industrial cave outfitted with plenty of mechanical machinery.Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Rocky and Bullwinkle, The Muppets, The Simpsons and The Incredibles have all been cited as inspirations for the film. Knowing that they could not match the quality of other computer-animated films, the film was instead designed to imitate the look of stop motion. Little Red Riding Hood arrives at her grandmother's house, where the Big Bad Wolf has disguised himself as Red's Granny. The story was developed through multiple script recordings, which Montgomery used to regale the neighbourhood kids in exchange for feedback. Forest creatures gather and gossip about what possible set of circumstances could lead to this mysterious and sinister scene: axes, wolves, complicit purple-haired pensioners, girls in capes - what gives?

When Red reaches her, Granny is in the middle of doing something that apparently requires a lot of attention. Almost as if on cue, Boingo shows up, obviously having overheard their conversation, and asks the Wolf if he is going to Granny's to throw a surprise birthday party for Red. Kirk explains his appearance at Granny's house was pure coincidence; he is an aspiring actor trying out for the part of a woodsman in a commercial. If you’d like to file an allegation of infringement, you’ll need to follow the process described in our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.The film's score was composed by John Mark Painter, who along with his wife Fleming McWilliams, constituted the rock duo Fleming and John in the 1990s. The filmmakers only made the film independently by necessity, [12] and Cory Edwards has said, "It's not a model to be followed.

As soon as she puts the receiver down, the camera pulls back to show that Granny is wearing skis, and her knitting needles are actually ski poles. To blend in without disturbing the others, the Wolf disguises himself in sheepskin, as does Twitchy. Todd Edwards wrote nine original songs for the film and sung four of them: "Critters Have Feelings", "Tree Critter", "Eva Deanna", and "Glow". The film was nearly complete by the time that the Weinsteins became involved, and Edwards has stated that nothing was done by them to ruin "the original vision of the movie. The characters are all great too i especially loved the mad goat who had different horn attachments for all his needs, he has one for opening bottles for example!Featuring the vocal talents of Anne Hathaway, Glenn Close, Jim Belushi, Andy Dick, Chazz Palminteri, Xzibit, and Anthony Anderson.
