Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs Evil (2011) 7/10

Starring : Hayden Panettiere, Glenn Close, Patrick Warburton, Joan Cusack, David Ogden Stiers, Bill Hader, Amy Poehler
Director : Mike Disa
Running Time : 87 mins

Red (Panettiere) and the Big Bad Wolf (Warburton) team up once more when Granny (Close) tries to rescue Hansel (Hader) and Gretel (Poehler) from the clutches of an evil witch (Cusack), only to find herself captured and forced to bake a recipe for a truffle that will make whoever eats it undefeatable.

I had heard some appalling reviews of this movie, so was expecting some directionless nonsense with little or no plot, bad characterization and minimum humour. This actually wasn’t that bad, with a plot that was interesting and slightly reminiscent in parts of The Incredibles – which is high praise to say the least. The voices were okay, and the animation, though slightly cheap looking compared to big budget companies, was better than the original. This is definitely worth checking out.
