Girl in the Hood

Okay, it didn't exactly make me forget Tex Avery's famous version of the Little Red Riding Hood story, but Hoodwinked did provide a bit of much-needed laughter and escapism. I'll admit that the animation style -- which seemed inspired in part by Jimmy Neutron as well as Davey and Goliath -- left a bit to be desired. But the movie itself was very funny, with Patrick Warburton being especially amusing. Even the rather derivative squirrel who serves as Warburton's companion was amusing -- though why the filmmakers didn't just call him “pseudo-Scrat” is beyond me.

Very easily the most amusing cartoon I've seen since last year's Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Wererabbit. Of course, that's not saying much...
