About the Film
From the team that brought you HOODWINKED, the comedic portrayal of
the fairy tale Red Riding Hood, comes the all-new animated family comedy HOODWINKED TOO! HOOD VS. EVIL in 3D. The sequel finds our heroine,
Red (Hayden Panettiere), training with a mysterious covert group called the
Sisters of the Hood. But Red is forced to cut her training short when she
gets an urgent call from Nicky Flippers (David Ogden Stiers), who returns
as head of the super-secret Happily Ever After Agency, aka the HEA. A
wicked witch (Joan Cusack) has abducted two innocent children, Hansel
(Bill Hader) and Gretel (Amy Poehler), and Nicky needs Red for the search-
and-rescue mission. Of course, what is a sequel without guest stars from
the original? Thankfully, Granny (Glenn Close) and the rest of the HOOD-
WINKED gang--including the ever-clueless Wolf (Patrick Warburton) and
his over-caffeinated little partner, Twitchy (Cory Edwards), join Red to
solve the forest's latest caper. Fracturing fairy tales and pop culture with
good-natured glee, HOODWINKED TOO! HOOD vs. EVIL in 3D takes
viewers on a rollicking rollercoaster ride combining edge-of-the-seat
adventure with classic, zany cartoon antics.
Beyond its fast paced action and eye popping 3D effects, the film's
true magic is embedded in its powerful message of empowerment
for kids but more importantly girls of all ages.

Chicago Sun-Times I By Nell Minow “There are some nice 3-D swoops and drops, but the more vertiginous entertainment
of the film is in the script, as what we think we know is deliciously turned inside out."
Tri-City Herald I By Gary Wolcott “Penned by the people who did the original, Hoodwinked Too! does what the first
film did not. It sustains the cleverness and creativity for a barely positive recommendation.”

Boston Herald I By James Verniere “Red, also known as Red Riding Hood, is back, but this time she's voiced by
Weinstein Co. "It Girl" Hayden Panettiere ("Scream 4"), instead of the presumably
more expensive Anne Hathaway.”
New York Times I By Andy Webster “While it seems there's no getting away from this marketing aesthetic, the
resemblance at times to a video game is far, far too acute.” Read more>
Boxoffice Magazine I By Sara Maria Vizcarrondo “The results are irreverent, fast, funky and funny. And hey, there may be a lesson
or two in there for youngsters - especially girls - to pick up on along the way...” Read more>
Toronto Star I By Bruce Demara “A fairly undistinguished but pleasant and easy-to-take holiday movie, with
slow spots and silly spots and a handful of moments of inspiration.” Read more>
