Hoodwinked [DVD] [2006] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Product Information

As Red rides by on her bike, Kirk climbs into his truck, and goes on to his daily job: selling schnitzel on a stick out of the back of his truck to the neighborhood children (much like the function of the modern ice cream truck driver), leading them in a singing routine ("The Schnitzel Song").

The authorities have cordoned off Granny's house with crime scene tape, and officers can be seen milling around outside, talking as they stand guard.

The filmmakers found that the most difficult aspect of producing the film independently was their inability to fix all of the mistakes made in the film's animation. A few other animated films have followed this path, but not to the level of success that Hoodwinked was able to achieve. Todd Edwards had the idea of basing the Wolf on Chevy Chase's character in Fletch, feeling that it would be fun to apply the character's dry, deadpan style of humor to an animated wolf, while Cory Edwards created the hyperactive character of Twitchy to serve as the Wolf's foil.

The animation is a bit rigid and lacks detail, like facial details, hair animation, water, and such.

Cory Edwards traveled to this studio a total of fifteen times over the course of the film's three-year production and has explained that although the house was located in an expensive part of Manila, the rent was no more than that of his two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles. The Wolf says that he is now about to crack a story about the Three Little Pigs performing a home improvement scam (even then, he still has to keep filled coffee mugs away from Twitchy to avoid tempting him). It's a shame that the British Bats didn't make it to the final cut, but they do get their moment in the spotlight (albeit in storyboard form) in one of five deleted scenes. which greatly annoys Red, as she resorts to looking at an old mine tunnel map to find a way to get to Puckett Grove.
