History WesternAnimation / Hoodwinked

* MineCartMadness / RollercoasterMine: Japeth's system of mine carts. Later harnessed for speedy pastry delivery (though it's not explained if it caught on quickly, given that the destroyed part of track would need to be rebuilt).

* MotorMouth: Twitchy.

** Flippers remembers the Wolf from three years ago on the Stiltskin case. The details are a bit fuzzy, other than that Flippers caught the Wolf snooping around trying to figure out the guy's real name. Apparently the Wolf came close, and was going to settle with Greg Stiltskin.
** Whatever happened 37 years ago that led to Japeth being cursed by a mountain witch with the inability to talk, only sing.

** The media crew fails to recognize Red without her red cloak on, and instead charge off after a large male jogger wearing a red hoodie.

** During the tramway terminal infiltration scene, Dolph is MuggedForDisguise, and Kirk is dressed to impersonate him - also wearing a ski mask so that Boingo won't recognize him. Boingo must have terrible eyesight or is not paying enough attention to realize that "Dolph" has A) a different body build, B) has suddenly grown a very long beard, and C) speaks in a Bavarian accent instead of an Ahnold accent. Nor does he seem to recognize the Wolf in his electricians' disguise, which is strange considering that he met both Kirk and the Wolf on separate occassions over the previous day and their voices should still be fresh in his mind (as it has been no more than fourteen hours at most since those two meetings).

* RightForTheWrongReasons: Implied. When Boingo speaks to Wolf and Twitchy about Red, Twitchy clearly doesn't believe Boingo is being honest with him and Wolf and later agrees with his friend that they were wrong to trust Boingo about his "shortcut". While Twitchy was right to not trust Boingo given how evil the latter turned out to be, it's likely his distrust was founded on the belief that Boingo was covering for Red (who he and Wolf believed to be involved in the Goody Bandit scheme that was plaguing the woods) rather than suspicion that Boingo himself was the Goody Bandit.

** Snack shack owners are very protective of their recipe books. In fact, it's pretty clear that Granny's recipe book is treated by Red in the same that KFC treats the Colonel's Original Recipe (for the record, only two people know the complete recipe, only one knows the combination to the safe that the recipe is stored in, and a number of executives know partial segments; when it had to temporarily leave KFC headquarters in Louisville in September 2008, it had its own motorcade transport it). In the world where the movie is set, they act in a similar way to [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka]]: these owners go out of business after their secrets are stolen (the result of espionage).

* SpeciesSurname: Wolf's full name is Wolf W. Wolf. Hmm, [[SarcasmMode wonder what the middle W stands for]]. [[DontExplainTheJoke I'll bet it's also "Wolf"]].

* [[ThisIsWhatTheBuildingWillLookLike This Is What The Forest Will Look Like Afterwards]]: Done with a slideshow and graphics instead of a 3D model

* UnreliableNarrator: Everyone sees the events differently, a la ''Rashomon''. Somewhat subverted: no one is actually lying, they just have limited perspectives. This means that when two characters have overlapping encounters, you will notice many subtle and/or very obvious differences - lighting, dialogue, positions of objects, and characters' actions. For analysis, let's look at the Wolf's encounter with Red after she falls from the cable car:

* CassandraTruth:
** When Red calls Granny from Japeth's shack:
--->'''Red Puckett:''' Granny?\\
'''Granny Puckett:''' Huh? What's that? Who's there?\\
'''Red Puckett:''' It's Red. I'm on my way to come see you-\\
'''Granny Puckett:''' Oh my, dearie, I-I'm not prepared! I need to... put down fresh doilies! Aah! ''[screams as she appears to slip on something]''\\
'''Red Puckett:''' Granny! Granny! What's wrong?\\
'''Granny Puckett:''' Gotta go, munchkin. Banzai! ''[the line is disconnected]''\\
'''Red Puckett:''' Oh no!\\
''[hangs up and turns to Japeth, wild-eyed]''\\
'''Red Puckett:''' Mr. Goat! My granny's in trouble! I've got to find a way around the mountain, fast!\\
'''Japeth:''' ''[singing]'' Well you came to the right goat! ''[pops off his rocking horns]''\\
'''Red Puckett:''' Oh, good! More singing.
** Granny's story shows that this call happens during her ski race, and she is busy trying to deal with the Bandit's henchmen skiers. This means that Red is right when she fears Granny is in grave danger, though she doesn't know that that's true.

* CrazyPrepared: Japeth. "Be Prepared" is practically an ode to the trope. After the mine cart he and Red are in goes airborne, he escapes with a pair of horns fitted with helicopter rotors that seemingly came out of {{Hammerspace}}. Red is rather shocked when she sees him fly away with this set.

[[folder:Tropes D-E]]

* DeletedScenes: Weinstein Bros. executives demanded the cutting of some parts. The "cuts" as they were ended up meaning that many of the songs that appear in the film are a lot shorter than they are on the soundtrack. These deleted scenes are included on the DVD release:
##An extended version of "Great Big World" with a restored second verse where Red is shown making deliveries
##The "Schnitzel Song" is a lot longer on the soundtrack than it is in the film. Part of it was restored in the form of a bit where Kirk leads two children in a tap-dancing routine.
##Extended version of "Tree Critter", the song performed at the pre-ski race festivities, which restores a missing verse
##The restoration of five seconds extra running time to "Be Prepared", which is not too significant, other than adding in a shot of Japeth stepping closer to Red and then a shot of him eating a tulip
##A storyboarded extended version of the scene where the Wolf and Twitchy are chased by bats through the caverns
##Boingo's song had an extra verse in which he admitted he "learned to ''despise'' little girls"
* DeusExMachina: The can of "Wolf-Away" pepper spray that Red uses in her first encounter with the Wolf counts. As does Granny's sudden acquisition of explosive charges for her ski race.

* EasterEgg: The Wolf and Twitchy end up in a cave populated with bats, due to them making the mistake of trusting Boingo to find a shortcut to Granny's place. It doesn't help that Boingo had scribbled illegible directions and an even less readable map on to the side of a brightly colored [[VisualPun Easter Egg]].

* [[EvilDetectingDog Evil Detecting Squirrel]]: [[spoiler:Twitchy of all characters is the only one among the main cast who appears suspicious of Boingo while everyone else doesn't give a second thought about trusting him. It seems to have more to do with Boingo telling him and Wolf to go through a flooded underground tunnel to get to Granny's cottage and writing the directions out on an Easter Egg than with him being a crook, but seeing as how evil Boingo turned out to truly be, Twitchy was wise to think there was more to Boingo than what he made himself out to be.]]
* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler:Boingo]].

* PaperThinDisguise: The Wolf's disguises, like the one where he interviews the woodland snack shack owner with an alias name and also uses a neck brace to pretend that he burned his neck. Also consider that the media crew fails to recognize Red without her red cloak on, and instead charge off after a large male jogger wearing a red hoodie.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint:

''Hoodwinked'' is a CG animated movie released in 2006 that parodies the Literature/LittleRedRidingHood fairy tale. Possibly inspired by ''{{WesternAnimation/Shrek}}'', the movie is an UrbanFantasy retelling, using a RashomonStyle interrogation set-up to tell the story, while [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation reinterpreting]] all of the tale's characters.

** Unlike the ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' franchise, this film is not supposed to be a satire, so a different style of humor is used. Also, supernatural elements (magic, wizards, fairies) are not present in the story (well, for the most part. Japeth was [[CursedWithAwesome cursed 37 years ago by a mountain witch]] that [[BlatantLies only allows him to sing]]).

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** When Red leaves Granny's house, the reporters spot her. The rabble obscures some of the dialogue and the subtitles say 'It's just some kid'. but if you're listening, you know the word ends in 'ch', not 'd'. And ''that'' makes it more like...
--->'''Reporter 1:''' Hey look! It's Little Red!\\
'''Reporter 2:''' No, it's just some bitch.

* OnceMoreWithClarity: When the BigBad reveals his treachery, prior interactions are shown in their real context.

Now fledging [[Characters/{{Hoodwinked}} a character sheet]] in need of some serious WikiMagic.

* GoshDangItToHeck: "What the schnitzel?" when Kirk finds his truck burglarized.

* ConspicuousCGI: During the scene where Wolf plays basketball with two woodland residents, the scene very briefly loses all its texturing and lighting. Those with a keen eye can spot this mistake from a mile off.

** When the Wolf and Twitchy make the mistake of following Boingo's directions and find themselves in the cave, the Wolf casually says, "Never trust a bunny with directions, Twitchy."[[note]]'''Twitchy:''' Never trust a bunny![[/note]] [[spoiler Later, when Flippers reveals that Boingo is the Bandit, the Wolf says, "I knew it! Never trust a bunny!"]][[note]]And again - '''Twitchy:''' Never trust a bunny![[/note]]

* IWantSong: Red's story opens with her singing the song "Great Big World".

* [[EvilDetectingDog Evil Detecting Squirrel]]: [[spoiler:Amusingly enough, Twitchy is the only one among the main characters who appears suspicious of Boingo while everyone else doesn't give a second thought about trusting him. It seems to have more to do with him sending them through a flooded tunnel and writing the directions out on an Easter Egg than with him being a crook.]]

* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: A writer for Focus on the Family's ''Plugged In'' magazine said the film could have squeaked by with a "G" rating. Let me reiterate that: ''[[MoralGuardians Focus on the Family]]'' said the content rating on a movie was ''too strict''.
** Well there is a plot by [[spoiler: a rabbit]] about cornering a market, and there's StuffBlowingUp in spectacular fashion (a tram car and a wooden trestle).

** During the fight in the tramway terminal, [[spoiler:Boingo]] does the "bring it" gesture [[spoiler: with his ''ear''.]]

*** It's really hard to catch the first time you watch the movie, but [[spoiler: if you've seen it before and know that Boingo deliberately threw Red out of the cable car, you realize that the look he has when she's falling with the basket goes from surprise to anger just at the very end, as a subtle TraitorShot.]]

* [[EvilDetectingDog Evil Detecting Squirrel]]: [[spoiler: Amusingly enough, Twitchy is the only one among the main characters who appears suspicious of Boingo while everyone else doesn't give a second thought about trusting him. It seems to have more to do with him sending them through a flooded tunnel and writing the directions out on an Easter Egg than with him being a crook.]]

** Provided you notice it the first time, [[spoiler: looking at Boingo's face when Red falls out of the cable car ''instantly'' tells you who the culprit is]].

* HypocriticalHumor: [[spoiler: Boingo]] urges Keith to change his name to something like "Boris" because it doesn't sound [[TomTheDarkLord evil enough]]. This coming from a villain who's name is [[spoiler:"Boingo"]], and the fact that the alternate name means basically the same thing as the original, as 'Keith' is Scottish-Gaelic for "from the battlefield" while 'Boris' is Slavic, for "battler" or "warrior".

* IKnewThereWasSomethingAboutYou: The Wolf says "I knew it! [[spoiler: Never trust a bunny!" when Flippers makes TheReveal that Boingo has to be the culprit. Considering that earlier, Boingo basically tricks the Wolf and Twitchy into going on a long out-of-the-way route, it's clear he didn't trust the guy to begin with.]]

** When the Wolf and Twitchy make the mistake of following Boingo's directions and find themselves in the cave, the Wolf casually says, "Never trust a bunny with directions, Twitchy."[[note]]'''Twitchy:''' Never trust a bunny![[/note]] [[spoiler: Later, when Flippers reveals that Boingo is the Bandit, the Wolf says, "I knew it! Never trust a bunny!"]][[note]]And again - '''Twitchy:''' Never trust a bunny![[/note]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: Happily Ever After indeed: Red gets her wish to travel the world. Wolf gets his wish to do undercover work. Granny gets her wish to perform hair-raising stunts. Plus,[[spoiler: Boingo and his henchmen are struck by this at the end.]]

--->'''Kirk:''' ''[disguised as Dolph]'' Uh, Mr. [[spoiler: Rabbit]]?\\

* StoryboardingTheApocalypse: [[spoiler: Literally done by Boingo to Red with a slideshow presentation to demonstrate his plan]].

* TraitorShot: It's only visible for a split second, but when [[spoiler: Red is falling from the tram, you can see Boingo glaring down at her, with an expression of "Damn it, I was ''that'' close to getting Granny Puckett's book!" and not "Please don't get hurt, Red!" Also, notice that he's grabbing for her basket, not for Red, right before she falls.]]

* WaifFu: Red is a proficient martial artist (she's a black belt and the region champion, and even has a photo of herself in a martial arts uniform on the wall in Granny's house). Too bad her moves are ineffective against [[spoiler: rabbit ears.]]

* WhiteBunny: Boingo
* WhoAreYou: "[[BlatantLies I'm your grandma]]." "Your face looks really weird, Granny."
* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler: Boingo, of all people.]]

-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' Say, Tommy, you losing weight?
-->'''Tommy:''' Uh, no.
-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' Didn't think so.
** The scene crosses over with DonutMessWithACop.

-->'''Granny Puckett:''' Honey, don't look at your granny like that.
-->'''Red Puckett:''' I'm sorry, I thought you were Triple G! Or are you the bandit?
-->''[beat]''
-->'''Bill Stork:''' [[LampshadeHanging Awkward!]]
-->''<[[UncomfortableElevatorMoment awkwardly side slips his way out of the room]]>''
-->'''Granny Puckett:''' You're being ridiculous, Red.
-->'''Red Puckett:''' ''I'm'' being ridiculous?! You're off living... ''La Vida Loca'', risking your life for some dumb thrills! And I'm supposed to stay home and be your happy little delivery girl?!
-->'''Tommy:''' [[IHaveToGoIronMyDog I have a]]...
-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' Coffee break, anyone?
-->'''Chief Grizzly:''' Uh, yeah.
-->'''Det. Bill Stork:''' Who's got my keys?
-->'''Raccoon Jerry:''' You think Granny would mind if I went through her garbage?
-->'''Chief Grizzly:''' Excuse us.
-->''[Everyone except Red and Granny files out of the room]''
-->'''Granny Puckett:''' I thought you were happy.
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Open your eyes! I've never even been outside of the forest! Don't you think I'd want more than that?
-->'''Granny Puckett:''' Of course you do. You're a Puckett.
-->'''Red Puckett:''' ''[sighs]'' I don't know what that means anymore.

* CassandraTruth: When Red calls Granny from Japeth's shack:
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Granny?
-->'''Granny Puckett:''' Huh? What's that? Who's there?
-->'''Red Puckett:''' It's Red. I'm on my way to come see you-
-->'''Granny Puckett:''' Oh my, dearie, I-I'm not prepared! I need to... put down fresh doilies! Aah! ''[screams as she appears to slip on something]''
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Granny! Granny! What's wrong?
-->'''Granny Puckett:''' Gotta go, munchkin. Banzai! ''[the line is disconnected]''
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Oh no!
-->''[hangs up and turns to Japeth, wild-eyed]''
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Mr. Goat! My granny's in trouble! I've got to find a way around the mountain, fast!
-->'''Japeth:''' ''[singing]'' Well you came to the right goat! ''[pops off his rocking horns]'
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Oh, good! More singing.

--->'''Kirk:''' Hello, everybody! Look, we've got the book! ''(The truck hits a tree, which is uprooted and crushes the porcupine's car again)''

-->'''Granny Puckett:''' Sweet tea and cookies! We've got to do something.
-->'''The Wolf:''' I know. The song was catchy, but the choreography was terrible.

--->'''Chief Ted Grizzly:''' Take 'em downtown, boys!
-->'''Bill Stork:''' Uh, it's the woods, chief. We don't have a downtown.\\

* CutawayGag: Red's first conversation with Flippers contains one:
-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' What's your name?
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Red.
-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' And why do they call you that?
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Why do they call ''you'' "Flippers"?
-->''[Cuts to Flippers on the dance floor at a disco club in a flashy white suit. As the crowd chants "Go Flippers!" in the background, he does a perfect backflip and lands in a splitz]''
-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' Uh, [[BlatantLies no reason]]. ''[scratches his tie]''

''[Cuts to Japeth riding a mine cart filled with food]'' \\

* DeadpanSnarker: Red and the Wolf have moments. The CutawayGag quote is one, for right after it:
-->'''Red Puckett:''' They call me "Red" [[CaptainObvious because of this red hood I wear]].
-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' What about when you're not wearing it? ''(beat)''
-->'''Red Puckett:''' ''(quietly)'' I usually wear it.

-->'''Red Puckett:''' Mr. Goat, my granny's in trouble! I've got to find a way around the mountain, fast!
-->'''Japeth:''' ''[singing]'' Well you came to the right goat! ''(pops off his rocking horns)''
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Oh, good! [[SarcasmMode More singing]]....

-->'''The Wolf:''' ''[into tape recorder]'' [[ThatsGottaHurt Ouch.]]

-->'''[[spoiler:Boingo]]''': I'm gonna need a lot of real estate down the mountain, so I've gotta blow the competition away. Oh, and that's not a metaphor. We've literally got to ''blow'' them away. OK?
-->'''Red Puckett:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Yeah, I got it.]]

--> '''Reporter 1:''' Hey look! It's Little Red!
--> '''Reporter 2:''' No, it's just some bitch.

-->'''The Wolf:''' You see, Twitchy, [[WhenLifeGivesYouLemons you get lemons, you make lemonade]].....
-->''[The screen goes black. There is a click as Twitchy flips on his camera light, revealing that the Wolf and Twitchy are walking through a water-logged cave]''
-->'''The Wolf:''' ....and then that lemonade goes bitter, and ferments, and turns to pig-swill. Never trust a bunny with directions, Twitchy.

-->'''Red Puckett:''' ''[unimpressed]'' Everything?
-->'''Japeth:''' ''[speaking]'' That's right.
-->'''Red Puckett:''' You just talked! Just now!
-->'''Japeth:''' Oh, did I? ''[singing]'' Did I? Dididididodadidididoooo...
-->''[Red gives an AsideGlance of "This is gonna be a long day"]''

-->'''Chief Grizzly:''' ''[eying the four detainees]'' This looks pretty open and shut. Little miss rosy-capes (Red) making covert deliveries to the goodie-tycoon (Granny), Wolfie tries to eat 'em both, then crazy flannel-pants with the axe here (Kirk) busts in, swinging vigilante-style. Take 'em downtown, boys!
-->'''Bill Stork:''' D'ah, it's the woods, chief. We don't have a downtown.
-->'''Chief Grizzly:''' You know what I mean! Just book 'em!
-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' Not so fast, Grizzly. ''[enters]'' That's the problem with you bears: always growling up the wrong tree.

* IronicEcho: Red Puckett's story has this. During a phone call she makes to Granny:
-->'''Granny Puckett:''' A trip up the mountain is too dangerous for a little girl.
-->'''Red Puckett:''' I'm not so little anymore!
** In the very next scene, when Red is in the treehouse:
-->'''Woodpecker:''' Are you going somewhere far away?
-->'''Red Puckett:''' No, the world is too dangerous for me! ''[Throws her arms up in the air, exasperated, and unwittingly tosses her magazine... onto a passing car's windshield]''

-->'''Red Puckett:''' ''[voiceover]'' With the Goodie Bandit on the loose, recipes were becoming an endangered species. I decided to call Granny. If anyone would know what to do, she would.
-->''[Cuts to Granny sewing while on the phone]''
-->'''Granny Puckett:''' I don't know what to do. I'm just a tired old lady.

-->'''Twitchy:'''' Uh, "[[DynamiteCandle DEEN-A-MEET-AY]]." [[Film/AChristmasStory Hmmm, must be Italian]].
-->'''Wolf:''' [[ExplainExplainOhCrap Ahh! Lose the candle!]]

* LyricalDissonance: "Top of the Woods", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Nhp_xm6ms a song]] wherein [[spoiler:Boingo]] sings to the captive Red about his plan to cause mass destruction and corner the goody market....to a cheerfully upbeat New Orleans jazz tune ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint although the choreography is terrible]]):
-->''"[[spoiler: When you're hopping on down the bunny trail, the critters all seem to look down\\

And goodies make the woods go round]]"''

-->''"Now I'm not a pig\\

So you won't be a fan of my evil plan, but I'm gonna be top of the woods!"''

-->''"When your only desire is to dominate the land of the wolves and the squirrels\\

Except [[MediumAwareness there won't be a rescue before the credits roll]] cause I'm gonna be top of the woods."''

-->''"Now the kids will be packed with my [=BoingoSnax=]\\

* MeaningfulName: Flippers apparently is called this because of a gig he once did at a disco club. Lampshaded by Red:
-->'''Red Puckett:''' They call me "Red" because of this red hood I wear.
-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' What about when you're not wearing it? ''(beat)''
-->'''Red Puckett:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I usually wear it]].
** Not only is Red's hooded cape red, but in certain shots, her hair appears red because of the angle of the lighting (this is very noticeable in close-ups of her face in the treehouse scene).

-->''When your only desire is to dominate the land of the wolfs and the squirrels''
-->''You've got to think with an open mind, and learn to detest little girls]''
-->''And everyone knows at the end of a show, the villain puts his plan into words''
-->''Except there won't be no rescue before the credits roll, 'cause I'm gonna be top of the woods!''

* MoodWhiplash: As Red is reminiscing about when she was younger in her OOCIsSeriousBusiness moment, she finds a medal in a flashback:
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Huh, what's this?\\

-->'''Tommy:''' [[HypocriticalHumor Yeah, Bruce? You know that guy we got in the tank?]]
-->'''Bruce:''' Uh, the creepy one?
-->'''Tommy:''' Yeah, better let him go.

-->'''Granny:''' Now the rest is up to us.
-->'''Kirk:''' Can I have coffee?

-->'''[[spoiler:Boingo]]:''' Vincent, get the truck! And Keith!... [[YouGetMeCoffee Darnit, change your name]]! Please? That's not scary! And I'm embarrassed to say it. "Boris." Try that. ''(Keith storms off)'' Keith, you know. Oh... "[[SarcasmMode watch out for Keith!]]"

* NoFlowInCGI: The directors went for a StopMotion look and feel in order to justify this inevitability. This is even influenced in the characters' designs: Red only has four fingers and the likeness of a doll, and Kirk has one eye that's slightly larger than the other.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Boingo arguably is this. [[spoiler: [[BeneathSuspicion He seems like a decent rabbit]] who just happens to run into all four of the main characters on their separate journeys. Then it's revealed that this detail makes him the Bandit. When the Wolf is posing as an electrical inspector and talking to him, this dialogue occurs:]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Wolf:''' Let me level with you, you're an evil genius, right?]]
-->'''Boingo:''' Well, I don't know if I'd say "genius," you know. I was asked to join Mensa.

-->'''Kirk:''' ''[disguised as Dolph]'' Uh, Mr. [[spoiler: Rabbit]]?
-->'''Boingo:''' Dolph! Where have you been?! You nimwitted Eurotrash with the-what is that, a ski mask?
-->'''Kirk:''' ''[who, as we can see, is wearing a ski mask that fails to hide his long beard]'' Uh, I, um, yah...
-->'''Boingo:''' I like that! See, ''that's'' scary. Yeah that's good.
-->'''Kirk:''' Um, b-boss...
-->'''Boingo:''' WHAT?! Say it! Spit it out! What's goin' on?!
-->'''Kirk:''' Um... boss, uh, Paul's Bunion Cream has the soothing formula-
-->'''The Wolf:''' ''[interrupts, dressed as a utility worker]'' Hi there! What he means to say is that I'm the building inspector.
-->'''Kirk:''' Yah, yes!
-->'''The Wolf:''' I just need to tap the pipes; see if your wiring's up to par.
-->'''Boingo:''' Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it, you're not... no, you can't touch anything in here.
-->'''The Wolf:''' ''[pauses]'' Let's walk.

-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' And then the Axeman Cometh?
-->'''Red Puckett:''' You got it.
-->''(Inside the flashback, Kirk bursts through the window)''
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Only, he was ''screaming''.
-->'''Kirk:''' ''[weakly]'' Aargh?
-->'''Red Puckett:''' ''[exasperated]'' Like a maniac!

-->'''Chief Grizzly:''' Recipes have been going missing all over the forest, goody shops have been going out of business for months, and the trail. Ends. Here! I've got a case to close.

-->'''Chief Grizzly:''' Quit playing around, Wolf! You're looking at three to five in an old shoe with no windows! So start! Singing!

-->'''Boingo:''' Well chin up, mister! Maybe someday, someone will open up a great big goody shop, [[IResembleThatRemark and we can all work for that. Little. Guy.]]

* RunningGag / BrickJoke: The blue sports car that [[ChronicallyCrashedCar keeps getting crashed]] by the main characters. First, Red wrecks one when she throws a magazine from the treehouse and it lands on the windshield, causing the driver to swerve and crash into a tree. But the main one is the porcupine driven one that has problems around trees - first by Kirk chopping one down, and later when Kirk and the Wolf, driving Kirk's converted truck, run into a tree, which gets uprooted.

-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' Slow down, chief. We've got four suspects and that means four stories. And if you keep people talking long enough, someone'll spill the beans.
-->'''Timmy:''' ''[oink]'' Beans?
* RuleOfFunny: The Wolf catching a taxicab in the woods to chase Red? Yeah, pretty convenient to have a cab just ''happen'' to show up when he hails one. It's surprising why Red never says anything in her story about a cab passing her while she's running away from the Wolf.

* SeriousBusiness: Snack shack owners are very protective of their recipe books. In fact, it's pretty clear that Granny's recipe book is treated by Red in the same that KFC treats the Colonel's Original Recipe (for the record, only two people know the complete recipe, only one knows the combination to the safe that the recipe is stored in, and a number of executives know partial segments; when it had to temporarily leave KFC headquarters in Louisville in September 2008, it had its own motorcade transport it). In the world where the movie is set, they act in a similar way to [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka]]: these owners go out of business after their secrets are stolen (the result of espionage).

* SpecialEffectsFailure: Pay close attention to the scene where Wolf is playing basketball with two of the woodland inhabitants, and you'll notice that at one point the shot is badly lit, and the models of everyone involved in the scene appear to lose some of their textures.

-->'''Boingo:''' Hey, you deliver up this far?
-->'''Red Puckett:''' Not usually. But I was thinking about what you told me earlier - about the Muffin Man? I need to protect Granny's recipes from that bandit's evil plan. They're gonna shut down everyone in the forest if we're not careful. ''(The doors immediately fly open, and a few seconds later, Red falls, grabbing the basket as she goes over)''

-->'''Granny Puckett:''' Honey, don't look at your granny like that.
-->'''Red Puckett:''' I'm sorry, I thought you were Triple G! [[DeadpanSnarker Or are you the Bandit]]?
-->''({{Beat}})''
-->'''Bill Stork:''' [[LampshadeHanging Awkward!]] ''[awkwardly side-steps out of the room]''
-->'''Granny Puckett:''' You're being ridiculous, Red.
-->'''Red Puckett:''' ''I'm'' being ridiculous?! You're off living... ''La Vida Loca'', risking your life for some dumb thrills! And I'm supposed to stay home and be your happy little delivery girl?!
-->'''Tommy:''' I have a...
-->'''Nicky Flippers:''' Coffee break, anyone?
-->'''Chief Grizzly:''' Uh, yeah. ''[Everyone files out except for Red and Granny]''
-->'''Bill Stork:''' Who's got my keys?
-->'''Raccoon Jerry:''' You think Granny would mind if I went through her garbage?
-->'''Chief Grizzly:''' Excuse us.
-->''[Everyone exits, leaving Granny alone with Red]''

-->'''The Wolf:''' Yeah, big surprise party. You know how to get there?
-->'''Boingo:''' Oh, yeah! Yeah! In fact, I know a shortcut.
-->'''The Wolf:''' ''[to Twitchy, incredulous]'' You hear that? He knows a shortcut.
-->'''Boingo:''' You go over the woods and through the river... no, you don't want to go through the river. You'll get all wet.
-->'''The Wolf:''' You see, Twitchy, [[WhenLifeGivesYouLemons you get lemons, you make lemonade]]...
-->''[Cuts to the Wolf and Twitchy walking in ankle-deep water through a pitch-black tunnel; Twitchy turns on his camera light for additional illumination]''
-->'''The Wolf:''' ...and then that lemonade goes bitter, and ferments, and turns to pig-swill. Never trust a bunny with directions, Twitchy.
-->'''Twitchy:''' Sure thing, boss! Never trust a bunny!
-->'''The Wolf:''' Well the bright side is at least I finally dried off. ''[immediately steps in a hole, causing him to trip, soaking his hoodie]'' Why couldn't I write movie reviews? We are in a pickle, and I blame myself. That bunny was worthless, not to mention he wrote the directions on an '''Easter Egg''' ''[holds up a brightly colored Easter egg with something illegible scribbled on the side]'' which is ''very'' hard to read.

** A very organic look was given to contrast the film from what producer Preston Stutzman called the "candy-coated, brightly colored pastel world[s]" of other CGI films. The filmmakers also took cues from ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' about skewing characters' shapes: For example, if you look closely at Kirk, one eye is slightly larger than the other.

And Red only has four fingers on each hand, and her overall appearance resembles that of a doll. It's best seen when [[http://www.awn.com/articles/drtoon/dr-toon-peek-under-hood/page/6%2C1 her hands are extended]].

* [[EvilDetectingDog Evil Detecting Squirrel]]: [[spoiler: Twitchy's funnily enough the only one who appears suspicious of Boingo while everyone else doesn't give a second thought about trusting him. It seems to have more to do with him sending them through a flooded tunnel and writing the directions out on an Easter Egg than with him being a crook.]]

''Hoodwinked'' is a CG animated movie released in 2005 that parodies the Literature/LittleRedRidingHood fairy tale. Possibly inspired by ''{{WesternAnimation/Shrek}}'', the movie is an UrbanFantasy retelling, using a RashomonStyle interrogation set-up to tell the story, while [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation reinterpreting]] all of the tale's characters.

* MissionImpossibleCableDrop: [[spoiler:Granny. With a drop of hairspray instead of sweat]]. Technically not a "cable drop", but an obvious shout-out to the first SpiderMan movie (where it was a drop of blood).
