I read this comment before I watched it and I'm disappointed he didn't mention anything about the shell. I'm convinced this movie is responsible for at least half of the people who think turtle shells are like separate from the turtle's body. Because, like, I watched this as a kid and I didn't know turtle shells are like an exoskeleton type of thing, and I know it's a common trope in media, but it was such a major plot point with him losing his shell that I think it stuck with a lot of kids.

Hoodwinked 2 is proof however what happens when you have a budget, but completely forget what made the first movie entertaining.

[@GoatMalp]

Film snobs are always so forgiving of indie movies having low budgets, but then they turn in to elitists when it comes to animation. Not everything can be Pixar. I remember Roger Ebert giving a speech on a cruise ship I went on as a kid, and he spent the whole time talking about how the magic of the cinema makes budget limitations irrelevant when the audience gives in to the magic of a film, then the next episode of his show I watched he reviwed Hoodwinked and endlessly bagged on the animation for looking cheap and crappy. Made me lose respect for him a bit at a young age. If you look at the reviews for The Polar Express on Rotten Tomatoes, it got trashed by almost every critic for it's animation. It has a negative "Rotten" rating. Yeah, motion capture can be disarming sometimes, especially when it's depicting realistic humans, but shouldn't critics be able to look past that and focus on the story and the art of the craft?

[@panzershreck8077]

@@GoatMalp Yeah but... to be able to look past the entirety of a movie that might be completely unpleasant to the eyes is hard to dismiss.

[@Jonksy]

@@farkasmactavish sorry but I agree heavy with Adum on this so I'm gonna argue, I'm mostly just fucking around so don't take it too serious lmao. Even with characters you're supposed to hate, you can still enjoy their role in the story or enjoy hating them. But this type of response to a character comes not from the traits inherent to their character but by the failure to properly flesh them out or make the character enjoyable to CONSUME as a viewer. Obvious examples are villain characters like Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda or the character people fucking love bringing up in conversations like this, Geoffrey from Game of Thrones. They are BAD and you're supposed to not like them, but they are still characters that make the story more enjoyable. But there's also funny characters that are annoying or stiff or cranky that are still FUN Good Annoying: Donkey from Shrek, annoying, talks too much, is a coward and for the most part just comical relief, but who doesn't love Donkey?!? Good Stiff: Manfred from Ice Age (like Adum FUCKING MENTIONED btw) is a complete push-over that always wants to do things the ''right way'' and wants to be morally superior and is super cranky, just a lame-o SQUARE but I fucking LOVE Manny he's one of my favourite characters ever. This turtle fuck isn't any of of these things, he's a piece of shit through and through, he should die.

[@BlisaBLisa]

i think it is based on very old folklore about ghosts, which over time is referenced and altered over and over again. if u read about how people in the past described ghosts it kind of seems like theyre describing scary hallucinations it can get quite surreal. like the (human) ghost moves and acts like an animal, walking and barking like a dog or slithering and hiding like a snake. most of the time the dead coming to life in any way is automatically sinister regardless of how that person was in life. the dead coming to life is often the result of something being done wrong, maybe the burial, so its automatically negative. I can see why a person who genuienly believes they saw a ghost of a loved one would see the ghost in a sinister form. they are grieving and in pain and are being, well, haunted by that pain in the form of a ghost. i remember reading how there were a lot more ghosts sightings during and after the American civil war, because it was such an unusually brutal war and so many families lost loved ones without ever seeing their bodies. they didnt get the closure of their loved one dying in their home and then burying their body. i think genuine ghost sightings are a manifestation of peoples pain and fears towards loss and just death in general. sorry u probably werent looking for a serious answer lol

[@troin3925]

What you said about Hoodwinked is definitely something that every fan (including myself), would agree with. Even we agree that the animation isn’t good and it’s the writing and characters that makes up for it. When you pointed out the details of the animation being unpolished or unfinished, that actually makes sense when you find out that this was the first time the animators learned how to animate. They had to learn as they were making the movie and because of the low budget, they couldn’t reshoot scenes and had to rely on the first draft. That actually makes me appreciate the film even more and even though the animation is very low quality, you can tell that the animators were trying their best and scenes like the skiing scene were the animators at their best.

Adum vs 'animated' turtle is easily the standout outburst of 2024. Nothing will come close.

[@hexcodeff6624]

""animated'" is a good way to put it

[@BaggyTheBloke]

While I can fully get behind Adum's hatred of Verne the turtle, I feel he misunderstands the purpose of the character. The film is about a family of animals needing to change their way of life to survive after humans destroy their souce of food. Verne's the conservative leader whose pratices are the only way the animals know to live, he has been in charge so long, they innately follow his gut, of course he'll be against another animal trying to take them off that path. When what they learn from RJ makes them happier and gives them better survival skills, Verne learns to let RJ lead them through this better life. I understand if the performance was so bad you were distracted from his role, but his character is important to this film as the representation of the old way of life.

The animation in Hoodwinked looks like those bowling alley and animations you get after you get a strike or gutter or whatever.

[@newtthelizardwizard]

Hoodwinked reminds me a lot of a Source FilmMaker animation. All the characters are overexaggerated and anything up close is jarring and borderline creepy, but it moves so fast you barely have time to register that and the humor is built to match. As a kid it's hard to ask for more, I remember watching it in class once and we had the time of our lives, it definitely has the nostalgia factor for me. Though I think if you want that same style in a more tranditionally good movie then the Madagascar or Hotel Transylvania films are there.

- To give Over The Hedge credit, it's one of the few kids movies to execute the "liar revealed" trope very well, in my opinion. - I think Hammy's sugar rush scene was the first time a movie had done it THAT well.

[@Jaffersin]

So while it doesn't excuse the turtle, it's worth mentioning that Over the Hedge is an adaptation of a newspaper comic that had been running for about ten years at that time. The raccoon, turtle and squirrel were the main characters and made up a pretty logical trio, an archetype that's probably been repeated enough to have a proper name (Ed, Edd and Eddy come to mind but I'm sure there's tons more examples) but the movie, needing a plot, messed with their dynamic. I think that's a lot of where the issues like the turtle going from "reluctant nerd" to "whiny voice of opposition" or the weird plot came from: trying to give stakes to a weekly comic where talking animals execute silly little plans to steal chips and make funny observations about suburban life.

[@D44RK_Iced_Yogs]

Either it was 5 years ago or last week… you can never tell with our boy Adum!

[@hexcodeff6624]

that's because it was almost exactly a year, 51 weeks, ago

[@denizi6323]

same with feardotcom lol it's been so long since the watchalong that i don't remember anything from the movie lmao

[@BillyMcBillface]

Hoodwinked is tied to one of the happiest nights of my life. My parents and I, for the only time I remember, went to see a movie and get dinner together. We had so much fun and really enjoyed the movie. Long story short, I will always love Hoodwinked and hope I get the rare ass Blu-Ray one day.

7:53 To be fair, I don't dig much of Avril Lavigne's song but the context of this is important: This only happened in a brazilian show because a year or two before this event a guy had tried to tackle her on stage

Adam, after watching Over the Hedge: "Tonight, I dine on turtle soup!"

[@SirGrimLockSmithVIII]

Damn Adam is turning into a Critic of Nostalgia, a Nostalgia Critic if you will.

[@Theunfathomable0]

I can see hoodwinked being a movie you HAD to see as a child to love a bit. I loved it when I was a kid, and yeah I thought the animation was bad, but i was captivated my the story in my own way. I even listened to the commentary lols. I know they made the story specifically to be accessible for kids to figure out who the bad guy is so that’s why it’s so obvious. I know someone complimented them on the water animation and they thought that was funny.

[@PipeGuy64Bit]

Talks about Over The Hedge without once mentioning the Verminator

[@bgs7529]

I was able to watch over the hedge in 5 parts because the turtle was absolutely killing me. It was such a drag to get through. Thank you for this representation Adum.

[@deadxdreadxpunk6091]

I did love Hoodwinked as a kid, but yes, that animation was dated even back then I remember renting the DVD for the 1st time with my parents and when those nightmare schnitzel children appeared we all collectively screamed as a family, scared the shit out of our pets too 😂😂😂

[@justin9744]

You’re wrong about hoodwinked. It’s a classic.

[@Lontra_canadensis]

I personally like Over The Hedge because the whole thing is a massive critique of U.S. suburban sprawl and hyper-consumerism. The movie was wayyy ahead of it’s time

[@carolyns4519]

Rewatching as an adult made me realize how much it radicalized 9-year-old me

[@wazeesmiff6524]

That just means you cared about over the hedge. So it got you there. It affected you. It made you feel something

[@DementedDuskull]

The Over the Hedge review was mostly just a review of the turtle.

[@kiroma0]

Hoodwinked got localized for Polish release and it has some of the weirdest out of place references to old cinema culture, I watched it as a kid as well and remembering it always feels like a fever dream.

[@SoundofStarsYT]

For a second I thought this was a reupload from like 2006

[@TessuDraws]

"I would like to Ben Fold the turtle" make me actually laugh out loud 😂 Also I would LOVE for you to play the Over the Hedge game (with Scoot present, of course) I played it quite a bit as a kid even though I hadn't seen the movie lol

[@stephenkyne945]

I remember seeing Hoodwinked in theatre with my friends when we were 10 years old and we all thought it was the funniest shit ever. It's funny seeing how mad it looks all these years later.

[@speedymcgee-uc7ns]

The Turtle from Over the Hedge being Confused Matthew's rendition of the Draco Malfoy aspect of Simba has got to be one of the deepest cuts imaginable.

[@spicysatan3452]

hoodwinked's animation is so so SO terrible, and that is half the charm. i dont think ive laughed harder than the schnitzel song scene because of how uncanny the animation is. 10/10

[@ThreadBomb]

I'd say Hoodwinked looks low-budget, but that doesn't equate to "bad". They did what they could with the resources they had.

[@Superfreaky2]

9:02 I feel i gotta defend the film here, Hammy, the squirrel character, has been part of the Over The Hedge comic strip along with Verne, the turtle and RJ, the raccoon since 1994. He has always had the character traits he has in the film long before Ice Age or Hoodwinked ever came out, so theres not really any copying going on here as those 3 characters have been written that way since 1994.

[@stardoogalaxie9314]

I love how decorated the ghost website is! Like, gotta have a UI box thats all rusty red with illustrated guts all over! Gotta use a proprietary font that no one can read!

[@MrSpoodersaurus]

All of these Movies are True Kino Cinema.

HOODWINKED

[@jackelewish1568]

I saw Over The Hedge in the theater on release. During that time I would go to the mall and hang out and watch whatever is playing.

[@SneakingMOUSE]

I haven't thought about Hoodwinked in YEARS. I don't know how many times I watched it as a kid, but this is definitely a nostalgia trip. I need to watch it again. It's a lot worse than I remember though, how I wish to be a kid again.

[@Hazztech]

Hoodwinked wasn't something you saw in a theatre- it was a movie that was constantly played on cartoon Network

[@StormBreakr]

...I watched it in theaters

[@maxximumrockatansky7186]

That is certainly a combination of movies.

[@LaLaLA-ue1ho]

This boi acting like we weren't all watching Doogal. Add that to your kino viewing experience.

[@thestreakingninja]

10% film critique 90% turtle hate 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Jackkara]

one thing that unnecessarily annoyed me in Over the Hedge was that the cat first said the skunk smelled awful, and then later confessed not having a sense of smell due to his breed.

[@George_vv]

As a kid I genuinely believed Hoodwinked was made by DreamWorks or something and looking at it for the first time since then is blowing my mind. I'm looking at images that I remember so vividly (because I've seen the movie probably a dozen times) but it's just so low quality compared to what I remember. Maybe it was the crt doing most if the heavy lifting...

[@joshgibbons-eyre8697]

Ben Folds really put all his folds into the Over The Hedge soundtrack. I still listen to that to this day.

[@misssvets7728]

“my boyfriend's nostalgia” film is the most inconsistent genre…. The film will either slap so hard you want to marry the person then and there or suck so hard you question the basis of your entire relationship. There is no in between.

[@thepicausno5561]

My only memory of Hoodwinked is seeing it on the Applebees kids menu when I was 8 or 9. Even back then I thought "Wow, it looks like uglier Shrek."

[@Pensive_Scarlet]

Is there, like, a good hour of unused material where you're just going off on that turtle? I'd really like to hear that. That would be like ASMR for my soul.

[@kukelhupf]

Over the Hedge videogame was my childhood. Can recommend. 6/10
