HOODWINKED TOO! HOOD VS. EVIL (Theatrical Release USA 2011)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil—fun take on Hansel and Gretel—gives us a little espionage/Mission Impossible feel with a bit of karate mixed in. The animated film uses 3D technology to appeal visually. It’s definitely a ‘worth watching’ comedy feature that attends to the child and is smart enough for the adult.
