same here saw the first forever ago it feels like on cartoon network. thought was really good despite how jank the animation looked. didnt know there was a sequel for years and found it by accident when recovering from wisdom tooth removal. watched it and felt hollow after. honestly cant remember anything from it aside from that awful joke that forced in the title in such a shit way compared to the first. boingo sayin "youve been HOODWINKED baby" was iconic and felt like it was executed well enough all be it, not that good of a joke but justification for the title instead of feeling like it was saying the title. but then hoodwinked too! just... YOUVE BEEN HOODWINKED! TOO! grammatically it doesnt make sense. who else was hoodwinked you tiny bastards? what? bad movie

hoodwinked 2 was the first movie i distinctly remembered hating-- but i literally watched hoodwinked 1 on repeat for 13 hours as a kid so

Lindsay Ellis probably wouldn’t want to hear about this, though, since for some reason, she didn’t have the same reasons why she hated Hoodwinked and Ice Age as its sequels (except for Ice Age 3, that movie is the only example of how an Ice Age sequel should be, but what about the spinoff? Hmm… m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqezeYyIf9l_j6c) that really deserve the bashing because to say they’re not as good as (nearly) my favourite films (with my least favourite animation, especially HW1). kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKrMc5eZmMuBock&vl=en

[@OGXenos]

The first Hoodwinked ended up becoming a cult classic because it had absolutely AMAZING writing, characters, jokes, and twists, while ALSO perfectly being animated so poorly that the bad animation ended up BECOMING part of the charm. When you pair "Its so bad its good" with "Its fantastic!" you get something oddly special and also impossible to organically replicate.

[@drekiskrek5008]

My parents actually went to college with Cory Edwards and writer Tony Leech and has remained in contact with Cory since. I went with my father to see the sequel in theaters since my family had loved the first one, but he dreaded seeing it as Cory told him that nearly any elements of the original script were barely in the final production. And yes, we all thought it was terrible. Cory Edwards has since gone on to work on the internet cartoon Krogzilla, which has a similar set of wit in its dialogue to Hoodwinked.

Also... Wolf, the wild card? The professional investigative journalist, who clearly has a lot of experience and resources in the kind of work he's supposed to be doing, who takes his job seriously... is made the wild card? Literally any of the other three would have made more sense as the "wild card". Kirk: The idiot who "knows the least about anything of anyone in this room", prone to causing antics and chaos due to having no idea what he's doing (he has to read a book to realize how to swing an axe, for Fairy Godmother's sake). The possibilities for "wild card" hijinks from him are endless. Granny: The thrill junkie, "I'd rather live life... to the EXTREME!" Easily could be the type to take the riskier option or go overkill on something because it would be more fun, regardless of whether it's actually the best option for the mission. Red: A relative newbie, not nearly as experienced in the world as Granny or Wolf, but shown to have a determined and independent spirit, quite willing to take action for herself if she feels the need... the type quite likely to go off the rails if given an idea. And this is all assuming you even need a "wild card" type. You don't necessarily have to have one.

[@DrDolan2000]

Clearly, someone was high in the writing room

[@maxthecharacter1296]

Hoodwinked was a clever movie. When I was a kid, I was a bit put off by the animation. But the comedy and the story structure got me so hooked (pun unintended) that I just went along with it. So it was sad to see that such a movie ended up having a poor sequel. It had the potential of being the next big franchise as long as they kept that comedy and story structure. Those, to me, were the reasons that story worked well. It was truly subversive in its own unique way.

[@purplehaze2358]

It’s honestly kind of inspiring how the first had literally everything going against it and still succeeded because it was good. It’s also honestly kind of depressing how bad its sequel is.

The original Hoodwinked is probably on my Top 10 favorite movies of all time. I never watched the sequel because everything, from the crappy commercials to the Burger King toys being released long beforehand, told me that this was not gonna be a movie that interested me (and I was right).

[@jemm113]

Holy shit someone else that remembers the Burger King toys!!!

[@givecamichips]

As a kid I used to think Hoodwinked was bad because I saw Hookwinked Too and it soured me on the original. But then one time in school we got to watch it right before Christmas Break bit something, so I learned it was good again. Then that made me wonder if Too was actually better than I remembered. Since I didn’t have either of them, that remained unanswered until today.

[@filipvadas7602]

The first Hoodwinked and the sequel are literally polar opposites The original was a movie that could have been an easy cash-grab, banking off the popularity of Shrek. But they put so much effort into it that, outside of the animation, the movie has aged like fine wine Whereas the sequel is every bad thing the original could have done, fully realised

[@crippledcrusader1321]

What makes the first movie stand out is how you don’t get the full picture until you’ve seen all angles of the movie’s events. And I love how they show why each thing happened, all the way down to why the wolf scared Red in the forest, it’s because the squirrel caught his tail in the camera. It’s not revealed as to why until later in the movie and it works that way. We’re given the idea that the wolf is just the usual bad wolf, but then when he tells his recollection of events, it’s more clear as to why that scene played out that way. It’s brilliant storytelling that should be appreciated more. Hell, they went so far as to include the smallest of connections in the movie. Like when Red is on the mine cart, when there’s the part with a huge drop, for a quick moment you see another mine cart on a different track with someone riding inside it, turns out it was the wolf. Because during his telling of the story, when he’s riding on the mine cart, you see Red’s pass by quickly. Damn this movie is much better than I thought.

[@BugsyFoga]

I love how this sequel was so crappy that it’s Burger King kids meal tie in was done literally a year prior to the film’s release, that is straight up hilarious 😂

It was due to the film being delayed but it shows how poorly planned out this sequel was despite being in production for 4 years when the Burger King toys had their run.

Hoodwinked was weird and great. This sapped all the weirdness out of it and now I forgot it existed. Also, wait, there is an explanation for the goat singing, and it's hilarious because of how non-subversive it is in comparison: a witch cursed him to sing everything.

[@NinaEinstein2006]

The Weinstein Company around that same time (2006) also distributed another animated film that tried to be Shrek named Doogal and oh boy what a disaster that was, the history of how that film got made is more interesting than the film itself, originally it was a film from France & the UK loosely based on the animated series titled “The Magic Roundabout” in February of 2005, when the film was being brought over to the states, they hired Butch Hartman and at first, Butch wanted the film to be close with the original version of the film and also wanted to added in live action sequences of the film’s story being told to a grandchild similar to that of “The Princess Bride” but that idea fell through due to it being “too expensive” and the Weinsteins decided to redub the entire movie with pop culture references and fart jokes that wasn’t in the original version of the film at all and the movie was also already in English to begin with since there was already an English dub of it with well known British actors (Bill Nighy, Tom Baker, etc) and it was also a case of executive meddling

[@ajdude9]

As a Bri'ish person myself, when I found out that one of the movies that I enjoyed in my childhood (as it was very child-oriented) got an entire re-cast and rewrite to fit American audiences better, I was pretty appalled. They ruined the entire plot and filled it with idiotic jokes and references that didn't fit the characters at all; and naming it 'Doogal' puts the focus on one singular character rather than the original focus on the entire cast - and how these characters work together. It feels like the original version of those twitter artists that take anime characters and make them obese and black and say they 'fixed' it.

[@NinaEinstein2006]

That is so true, I’ve actually grew up with the “Doogal” version but looking back on it years later It’s one of those animated movies that I’ve watched from my childhood that doesn’t hold up that well in my opinion and i also hate when a beloved anime, etc gets taken away by someone else to butcher the source material and make it into a mockery

[@PipeGuy64Bit]

I never understood that decision to "localize" it when I'm pretty sure the original version barely had any British pop culture references

[@abrahamdavidcortina923]

But it's so weird that Doogal looked very different compared to Hoodwinked despite released by the same studio and year, but made by two different animation studios

[@karaoconnoraliasraidra]

Didn’t the Weinstein Company also ruin Balto II? That movie had a development with a white wolf that made no sense (deciding a vision of a wolf was real and actually Balto’s ghost mom), and I read later it was because the producers didn’t know or understand what had happened in the first movie. Incidents like those and the butchering of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (into Warriors of the Wind) are why Harvey Weinstein was sent a katana with the message, “No cuts,” when Miramax wanted to edit Princess Mononoke.

Ah Hoodwinked, I remember enjoying it as a kid but not being interested in the sequel. Good thing I missed out. You know, that talk about Shrek at the start makes me think that had another studio like Warner Bros, Sony, Trigger, etc gotten the reins, I think that the Mario movie would be amazing as a giant middle finger towards the films that Illumination and Modern Dreamworks stood for. Like maybe having only two celebrities with Charlie Day and Jack Black being those with the others being voiced by experienced voice actors, a lack of pop songs and instead using music from the games and even the Wario, DKC, and Yoshi games, a parody of the minions, etc.

The first Hoodwinked was a genuinely enjoyable deconstruction/parody of the Little Red Riding Hood story, and I remember getting excited each time they played it on Cartoon Network back in the day.

The original Hoodwinked came out at the right time. 3D animated movies were technically still new to the movie industry, so while we like to point out the animation looks bad, it didn't look half as bad around the time it came out. Also, the writing was pretty damn good. I remember watching it as a kid and now as an adult, I still genuinely laugh at a lot of their jokes, even if some of them are pretty dated nowadays. So when I saw the sequel Hoodwinked Too, man, was it disappointing. When will corporate-heads learn that the best content is made when you give the people you pay to create more creative freedom? Let creators create!

I've lost a lot of memories from that time of my life, but I remember how sad he was during this movie. He complained and whined through the whole thing, and looked like he wanted to cry by the end. It was a good thing he didn't buy the DVD, like we usually did. It would not have been a proud addition to our collection.

[@numebernode]

I really loved the Hoodwinked movie when my family watched it. You mentioning the budget of this move made me realize how much effort the production crew went into making the movie's story solid. I remember when I first discovered the movie got a sequel (I believe it was a movie ad on the newspaper). I was both excited and nervous about watching. Then I recalled reading somewhere that it was bad. And then years later a family member had watched it, and thought it was bad. He also gave a critique of it that wasn't privy too, but it was definitely KZbin critique worthy.

when I first saw hoodwinked it was the first ever CGI movie I ever watched (yes even before Shrek) and I was amazed of how it looked, the idea of everything looking more realistic instead of drawn out was mind blowing.

[@evilyoshimaster]

Honestly the sad thing is, these movies two main ideas are brilliant on paper. Red and the Wolf being forced to work together to solve a mystery. GREAT IDEA! The two would naturally have tension based on their antagonistic relationship in the first movie and them realizing that they don't have any logical reason to dislike each other could lead to a solid lesson of the dangers of judging other based on a misunderstanding. Then, the idea that Hansel and Gretal are secretly working WITH the witch is really clever too! Whenever Hansel and Gretal is subverted, it's always "the witch was good, the kids were evil" So the idea of working with the witch is almost a subversion of a subversion! They had two pillars for a really solid sequel, it was just exacuted badly.

I thought it'd have been way funnier if, instead of singing opera, he ended by talking in his regular voice before walking away.

The movie at least resulted in the, "Do I look like some sort of clown to you?" meme, so there's that.

Finally someone understand the brilliance of Hoodwinked 1

[@yourhumbledissenter]

I remember we were going to see this movie as a family when I was young, but my brother got in trouble and had to stay home, so only me and my mom saw it. Don't understand why I had to be punished by see this thing where he didn't.

[@LucasN00b]

i remember watching these movies EVERY SINGLE DAY when i was a kid

[@urmomifyer5000]

Same

2:03 i have no idea if the discord notification was intentional or not but i had to stop the entire damn video just to go check discord you made me look like a fool man A FOOL

[@WeegeeSlayer123]

There was a lot of promotion for the first Hoodwinked. Not for the second one. I recall only one or two commercials for the second one. I knew it would be a shitty sequel.

[@spongebobplushiestuff8612]

The BK toys came out a year before the movie came out

[@mrbakedbeans8950]

It's like shrek is the boys full of cynicism and ridicule but hoodwinked is like invincible respects the past but brings something new

[@mikeyangel420]

This is the kind of movie that I could watch anytime. Doesn't matter how often I've seen it. If it's on tv I'm sitting down and enjoying it all over again.

[@gubjorgm.2259]

For my final project I painted a rabbit wearing a rabbit mask thing (hard to explain unless you see it) and well the mask looked evil so it often reminded people of this rabbit and the one from monty python.

[@drakesterX]

Fun Fact, my family loved the original hoodwinked so much that we still often say 'Dina-me-tay: must be Italian" every time we look at or buy candles. We also collectively hated the sequel.

[@Laxhoop]

I still remember my initial reaction to seeing the trailer for Hoodwinked Too on TV as a kid: “There are a lot of red flags, here. Number 1 being how long it’s been.”

[@N_DAnimationEnthusiast]

1:15 Man, those movies are classics. Especially Surfs up.

[@hiddendesire3076]

0:58 Yet some will claim Shrek the Third isn’t a good film, while having done better than the fourth film.

[@mechajay3358]

This is the cycle of independent creations. They start of as a Huge Success until the studios want more control over how the sequel should be made and it ends up running the project.

[@charlotteb.5542]

I loved the original but never got around to this movie. Glad I didn’t miss anything.

[@colingznetworkplus4618]

Someone who remembers and loves the original movie is ok in my book

[@Hunni_Gummi]

I will never get over the fact important character got copy and pasted everywhere and the cheaf bear the cop was not only at a night club, but doesn't interact with red or be a cop..and I'm just salty I wanted a 3rd to redeem it

[@JetJenkins]

This is definitely one of the better animation critic youtuber avatars I've seen in a bit. It's actually well drawn and the design doesn't make me cringe.

[@syppy7416]

Kind of off topic but that poster is one of the most creative ways to introduce the voice cast

[@cartooniefilms2836]

I had the original hoodwinked DVD. And I liked listening to the directors talking over their movie and how how it was made and stuff, it was a feature that came with the DVD. But yeah. Originally hoodwinked started out in one of their apartments. Which is kinda wholesome ngl. But they were so proud of their movie. Even going to too see it in movies just to gage the audiences reaction. It was kinda sad how it got botched with their 2nd movie.

[@ostermanumbrellaco.7445]

ive watched hoodwinked too, too many times i lost count but it’s honestly the best childhood movie ive watched. every year i at least watch back the sequel movie. also there’s a new movie called “bad guys” coming out and it’s like hoodwinked except the main characters are all evil

[@abrahamdavidcortina923]

Pixar's Turning Red has Red Riding Hood DreamWorks' The The Bad Guys has the Big Bad Wolf

[@sazzahko9931]

I remember watch the first one when I was like 7 I’m 14 now and I never knew about a sequel until today. I am shocked

[@suburbanking9148]

i still reference getting a callback to this day and its probably been over 10 years sense i last seen it

[@redeyesdrgn]

i feel i remember watching hoodwinked but its such a vague memory that im unsure and this movie had escaped me for years like some form of cyprid.

[@RoboticEdward]

Yknow I was thinking about this film the other day because I distinctly remember there being a Burger King toy tie-in. I wanna say it was a year or two before the film actually released in theaters. If that isn't a sign of production issues then idk what is.

[@lorenamarostica2309]

I remember absolutely LOVING Hoodwinked Too when I was a kid and never getting tired of watching it. I think since I was a very visual child, I cared little about the writing and more about what pleased me in the scenes, like Red and the fights (always loved action lol). Even though the first movie had lots of action, my attention was always on Red. She was my fave, so having a movie that goes especially around her was the peak of my satisfaction. So it still has a special place in my heart, as I know it was such a great piece of my childhood. Only now I can see how the second movie was messed up in some aspects, and how the first one was way more charming and original. But as I said, the only thing I cared about was Red kicking some butts >:)

[@noxturne16]

man i love Hoodwinked, it’s something i watch on repeat and love so much

[@cookieface80]

Thankfully, I never knew that a sequel ever came out. I loved the first one as a kid.

[@muffin2221]

The funny thing about the Hansel and Gretel twist is that they spoiled it in the previews when it was advertised on television. Really threw what little worth it had out the window straight from the commercials

[@cicero7360]

The best part of the video is the discord ping about two minutes in that made me think i was going insane lmfao

[@Lord4536]

I always liked Hoodwinked, it reminded me of Sonic Adventure 1, with the animation and how the character's stories all intertwine with one another.

[@askinredroads5132]

I think it says a lot that I vividly remember the first film, the second one, I know I saw it but, I have ZERO clue what happened in that film.

[@gfhychhdg2327]

Never even knew there was a first movie! I only had the second growing up and me and my brothers loved it!

[@justaperson3450]

I remember I watched hoodwinked too! Before I watched the first one cause the second one was the only one that was on Netflix…. Let’s just say I was very confused by the sequel until I saw the first one
