wether the obviously bad animation was done on purpose or not, I can't sit through stuff like that. It made me cringe.

I disliked the animation, character design, music, and script.

I liked the concept, casting, the hyper squirrel, and the ending.

6.5/10

Maybe if this movie was funnier, then I would have given it a better score, but it only made me laugh like..twice. And the "goodie bandit" was waaay too predictable!

Well it seems it made #1 for the weekend. :)

Riding Hood cartoon leads holiday box office
Monday January 16 5:03 PM ET


Little Red Riding Hood came from behind to claim the No. 1 slot at the holiday box office in North America on Monday, leading a tight field whose rankings could change when final data are issued the next day.

"Hoodwinked," an animated version of the cautionary fable, sold $16.6 million in tickets in its first four days of release beginning Friday, according to studio estimates gathered by Reuters.

It was followed by fellow newcomer "Glory Road," with $16.5 million. The college basketball drama actually outpaced "Hoodwinked" through Sunday, but the latter film was projected to earn more on Monday, thanks to the Martin Luther King holiday.


The competition between the two films has a little extra edge because "Hoodwinked" was released by the new company set up by Miramax Films founders Bob and Harvey Weinstein, while "Glory Road" comes from their former employer, Walt Disney Co. The Weinsteins left Miramax last year after a prolonged dispute with Disney management.

Paramount Pictures' Queen Latifah comedy remake "Last Holiday" opened at No. 3 with a four-day haul of $15.7 million. The top 10 contained one other new release, 20th Century Fox's mythical romantic drama "Tristan & Isolde," which opened at No. 8 with $7.9 million.

Last weekend's champion, Lionsgate's torture thriller "Hostel," fell to No. 5 with $11.7 million. Just ahead of it was Disney's "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," which fell two to No. 4 with $12.2 million.

Despite the fierce competition at the top, box office tracking firm Exhibitor Relations said overall sales were down 14 percent from the year-ago holiday weekend, when the Samuel L. Jackson basketball drama "Coach Carter" opened at No. 1 with $29.2 million.

I just saw this movie today, and i LOVED it. The voice cast was perfect for the characters. It had a good storyline, and good jokes. All the children in the theather were laughing non-stop. I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.

I've heard the film's budget was around $15 million, so it made its budget back and more on opening weekend. The animation wasn't the best, I'll admit (looked kind of like Reboot's first 2 seasons), but it was very funny otherwise. I enjoyed the format of going through each of the main character's accounts of that day, and liked how they were all tied together by various elements.

Apparently, work is already underway on a sequel (Hood vs. Evil):

Personally, I look forward to seeing it.
