I'm chiming in with the mini reviewers with my first entry:
Hoodwinked
A fun filled parady of Little Red Riding Hood, with some very funny characters, and excellent picture and sound quality. If you want to escape reality for a while, and watch a funny, enjoyable animated story I recommend this one.

    This is one the whole family will enjoy. Has some nice LFE effects for those who like bass also.

    Hoodwinked ROCKS! Best animated film in a long time. Better than Shrek I think! I personally thought the audio was recorded poorly, because I had to turn up my center just a little into it, because it was hard to hear the voices over the score.

    Good picture, excellently fun plot, tons of laughs, super one liners, and an all around easy 9 outta 10 for me.

    True, some good bass in a few scenes, love Patrick Warburton and his role. Totally hits a home run. If you haven't seen this one, and aren't afraid of "Animated" pictures, go buy it. You won't be sorry.

    Here's an interesting read from when it opened: http://www.boxofficeprophets.com/column/index.cfm?columnID=9367

    It's apparently an, "independently animated Hoodwinked, distributed by the Weinstein boys..."

    P. HUNT, Thats a big yes on the adult humor. At least in my view. I have no children, and had alot of fun watching this movie. I actually found it as funny, if not more than Shreck.

    I just watched this and thought it was no where near as good as Shrek. It is a good rental and fun to watch. I bought it but kind of wish I didn't.

    I just watched it and I loved it.

    Loved Patrick as well as the Wolf. Plenty of humor and I thought the way they intergrated everything was really well done..

    Decent for a rental, but I wouldn't watch it again. Knowing Andy Dick was playing a character in a kids film had a high creep factor.
