HOODWINKED: The Forgotten Animated Movie! - Diamondbolt

the early two-thousands were a wild west of the time for animation where anything that people could come up with was somehow actually made and that's how we ended up with all of these what what the [ __ ] on the bright side we can look back on them 15 years later and realize that they were really weird one of those movies is hoodwinked you guys remember hoodwinked right probably maybe well that's what we're talking about today so strap the heck in this one is a hugely nostalgic movie for me since I watched this one a bunch as a kid courtesy of some shitty pirated DVD I had which would have probably made the quality even worse somehow all I remember about it is that it was very strained and that I didn't like any of the characters except for wolf because he had a cool voice woodwinds is a sort of mystery in a while story that kind of had the same idea of Shrek in terms of using fairy tale characters in a more modern and satirical setting that's also a musical sometimes I guess the poster promises it's also the funniest animated movie since Shrek well now that's a hell of a claim there buddy the general consensus for this film seems to be that has a great script but with food fight level animation which yeah now that I look at it definitely appears to be the case I mean as a kid it looks great the hell was wrong with me is it wrong to say that killaby looks better than this there is a reason why it looks like the FMV before taking on ps1 though funnier for you good wink was funded entirely independently by the studio blue yonder films this was so that they could maintain creative freedom to make the movie they wanted to but it also meant that the movie had to look how it does produced on a budget of less than 8 million and in the Philippines to minimize costs the team opened their own animation studio for the sole purpose of working on the film and if that wasn't enough almost all of the animators had next to no experience with animation and had to learn as they went on so all in all they did an amazing job with all that considered still going to poke fun at it though this is going to be one hell of a movie to revisit god I hope it's good good winter opens with hey wait a minute this looks familiar you've got to flip through the pages whoa wait I think I got the wrong movie we begin with the classic Red Riding Hood scene except that red looks like an urn the wolf already makes an appearance complete with a super convincing grandma's disguise you've been dodging me all day but now you might as well what the [ __ ] just happened so now the house is a crime scene and we're following the police investigation of what went down honestly so far the animations not too bad Oh God within only seconds of seeing the gang all assembled the chief is already like yeah [ __ ] it they're probably guilty lock them all up I can explain everything well you can explain it to the judge should you be in school shouldn't I have a lawyer then this frog detective shows up who has the slightest texture I think I've ever seen and he decides that perhaps the case isn't as simple as it first appears to be also he has a dog on a leash and once again a world where and always have animal pets makes me very uncomfortable what's your name red and why do they call you that why do they call you flippers this is a lot to take in at only the first five minutes so now that everyone is here we know our main cast Romeo the second hottest version of the big bad wolf I've ever seen a grandma and a complete maniac awesome but I dropped my toe a quick phone call from here we hear from all fours perspective of what transpired that night beginning with Red Riding Hood herself also it gives the movie a really good excuse to be narrators what the [ __ ] you know I think you're gonna find myself saying that a lot for this movie here we're introducing this adorable rabbit who tells us of the goody bandit who's been going around stealing recipes and forcing a bunch of businesses in the forest to close which is important because Reds brownie is at the top of the industry know the world is too dangerous for me [Applause] red you just killed someone his face looks like you just keep stretching out but I was thinking about what you told me earlier like seriously good just go mmm okay that's enough about how it looks I'm sorry anyway while I was busy laughing and a low-hanging fruit red falls out of a freaking cable car then she runs into a wolf who actually seems pretty chilled okay my bad cold yeah this bear is the worst cup of oat I've who just walked into a crime scene in the first person he sees he's like boys look above Red's next up is the singing darts house granny pockets house ready the pepper spray ready this is like the next 10 minutes by the way okay we finally done god damn it I just want to point out a we're not even 20 minutes in this movie is wild absurd confused I love the implication that she was totally willing to let the girl just die can't say I blame her and after that adventure she heads straight to her granny's house and that's how he got to the start of the movie once again the bear really just wants to call it a night the guys paw prints all over the room book on the phone fuzzy wuzzy now froggy friend isn't quite satisfied just yet so now it's the wolf's turn I just realized this is knives out but with fairytale characters I don't know how to feel about that don't I get a Drano you see this guy's a cop worse he's a reporter also it turns out wolf is a journalist that his version of the story is going to be totally accurate and not at all exaggerated and attempt to get more people to read it uline wolf is an undercover investigator who was searching for answers about the goody bandit we also meet Wolf's sidekick twitchy who could pass as one of the leads from out in the Chipmunks did you see where she won't help me I want to know about the little girl in the red hood don't know a thing never heard of that I think it's safe to say a lot of these jokes went over my head as a kid this is all eventually leads him to read which shows how I even got here and suddenly the wolf is a lot less creepy see you guys don't judge a book by it's cover he gets a taxi which explains how he got to be in front of her this is great of course we all know what happens to him they're not ready to give up the wolf heads over to Red's Granny's house to beat her there though not before running into the bunny we met earlier in fact he's the one who tells him how to get there and what looks to be the worst way possible well at least we know where the Avalanche came from now it turns out the cluster he was wearing was just some of Randy's merch laying around oh man this is brilliant and that takes us back to the interrogation next up to be drilled is the axe guy his dead cold stare is really gonna be with the creeps I feel like he's peering into my soul turns out he is in fact an actor so we begin when he was up too early in that day I just got the script I was like oh dear Lord what does that give it away provision okay a new challenge could I go five minutes without making fun of the animation come on I could do this thankfully he gets robbed so we're done for listen to the scene anymore what then the rabbit shows up again maybe someday somebody will open up a great big goodie shop and we can all work for that little guy yeah that's not suspicious at all he gets a call back from gex who encourages him to spend his day refining his roll which he interprets as terrorizing the [ __ ] out of the forest this results in him chopping down the trees so big that it you know this one still doesn't make much sense so all that leaves is granny and let me tell you if you thought the other stories were wild I'm not like other grannies I'd rather live life to the extreme hi I got nothing this [ __ ] writes itself granny explained she was participating in an extreme skiing competition that day her competitors being a group of GI Joe looking dudes well her team looks like a bunch of rejected Sona characters it's the goddamn rabbit again this is the Stanley of this movie surely some of this has to be against the rules right I am sure there are many things you expected this movie to be about and I bet all of them were not this all wait so that's where the Avalanche really came from oh I guess that explains one of the what-the-fuck moments from earlier and now we know how she got tied up and stuck in the closet I think that covers everything actually so now that we're all caught up to speed we flash forward to the present for the last time where red is not taking the news of her granny being a near suicidal extreme sports enthusiast very well because we haven't had enough proof of how completely incompetent the police in this town huh they're also totally oblivious if someone sneaks in to steal Reds basket of recipes hmm wonder who that could be it would seem that is another player in his game someone whose hippity hop to his way through all of your stories oh my god no way I had no clue I'm never gonna answer to anyone ever again oh no he's scary now red manages to sneak into a secret ski lift base and challenge the bunny to an epic 1v1 only to get absolutely body baby oh he's gonna sing now great they have look at them curves baby lucky for red the others come to our aid using all of their skills to try and rescue her birth wolf and the woodsmen are wearing disguises sir where is granny I'm kind of scared oh she's just climbing on the roof like The Exorcist nothing unusual I wonder if they were aware and they were writing the script that they'll make in the greatest movie of all time being no damsel in distress red finds the way to escape the car until granny comes and picks her up and then they drop the equivalent of a nuclear bomb into the ocean murdering thousands of innocent fish today well we're animals control Oh [Music] well that was easy yeah the bear cop finally got to arrest someone today good for him get him out of here boys and everyone gets a happy ending except for this guy's insurance company the final scene has the Frog detective gathering read granny and wolf together recruiting them all into a secret organization the happily ever after agency and that brings this adventure to a close I always did like happy endings [Music] you don't look at me like that well then that show wasn't experienced I really like the intersecting stories aspects for the first two-thirds of the movie it's not often you get to see a nonlinear story told in an animated movie and it's kind of cool seeing huge characters tails lining up the writing voice acting and characters are really what drive hoodwinked and it doesn't feel like it's made with kids in mind considering the contents of the story at points but I can tell you my eight-year-old self was the biggest hoodwinked fan I would have bought that granny puckett merge it's definitely not as good as I remember especially in how it looks but I still liked it for the most part it's got a lot of charm it does a lot of things differently from other animated movies for better or worse and also I was right with is still the best character poor guy didn't deserve half the [ __ ] that happened to him in this movie I'm saying if we're going to had better animation to be considered to be up there with some of the greats even picks our own DreamWorks movies or flushed away of course it'll be wrong of me to not even acknowledge hoodwinked to which exists I guess I don't know maybe another day I feel like I hate myself enough see you next time [Music]
