Hoodwinked: Difference between revisions

[[File:Hoodwinked.jpg|frame| [[Dull Surprise|They look really surprised to be in a movie.]]]]

 

 

 

The movie starts with the police arresting everybody at Granny's House -- the Wolf, the Woodsman, Granny, and even Red Riding Hood -- and interrogating them separately to find out what happened. Each then narrates events as he or she saw them happen.

 

 

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]

* [[Aside Glance]]: Wolf, after Twitchy's declaration that he doesn't drink coffee.

** Also Red, when Jabeth denies having spoken normally at one point.

* [[Avoid the Dreaded G Rating]]: 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: ''[[Moral Guardians|Focus on the Family]]'' said the content rating on a movie was ''too strict''.

* [[Badass Grandma]]: Granny. She fights in ''cage matches'', fer cryin' out loud.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Coffee.

* [[Completely Missing the Point]]:

"I know. The song was catchy, but the choreography was terrible." }}

* [[Concealing Canvas]]

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Japeth the mountain goat, which he even sings about. Also Granny.

* [[Creator Cameo]]: Cory Edwards plays Twitch.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Red and the Wolf.

* [[The Dog Was the Mastermind]]: The mastermind turns out to be {{spoiler|the bunny rabbit.}}

* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]:

'''Red:''' [[Deadpan Snarker|Yeah, I got it.]] }}

* [[Easter Egg]]: [[Visual Pun|Literally]].

* [[Embarrassing Tattoo]]: Sort of. On {{spoiler|Granny}} of all people. Of course.

* [[Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels]]: Twitchy, natch.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: {{spoiler|Boingo}}.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: If you look carefully during the scene where Red is in the minecart with Japeth and they go down the drop, you can see them pass by Wolf and Twitchy in their own minecart. And when the Wolf tells his story, you can see Red and Japeth dropping in the background. There are tons of these in the movie that would be overlooked until another character's point of view is told.

** Also, the expression on Boingo's face after Red falls off the cable car. You think he's horrified at Red falling, or angry at himself. You'd be wrong.

* [[Furry Confusion]]: Subverted: Flippers seems to walk a non-anthropomorphic dog into the crime scene, but he turns out just to be the notary.

* [[Furry Fandom]]: There's a minor human character who wears a fursuit. The wolf even refers to him as "my furry friend."

** Furries aren't widely known outside the internet or [[CSI: Miami]], so crowbarring in a joke about them would be a bit redundant.

* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: "What the schnitzel?"

* [[Heli Critter]]: Japeth the goat. This is how he survives the mine car crash.

* [[How We Got Here]]

* [[Gilligan Cut]]: In the ending, when Japeth is shown delivering goodies.

* [[Ice Cream Koan]]: Flippers.

* [[Intrepid Reporter]]: The Wolf.

* [[Jive Turkey]]: {{spoiler|''Granny'', hilariously enough, during the whole skiing competition.}}

* [[Kinda Busy Here]]: When Red called, Granny was... rather busy.

* [[Little Red Fighting Hood]]: Hey there, Red.

* [[MacGuffin]]: The book of recipes.

* [[Minecart Madness]]: Japeth's system of mine carts. Later harnessed for speedy pastry delivery.

* [[Misplaced Names Poster]]: [http://www.firetheimagination.ca/images/productImages/orig/Hoodwinked.jpg The DVD cover.]

* [[Mood Swinger]]: {{spoiler|Boingo the rabbit.}}

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: As Red is reminiscing about when she was younger.

'''Granny:''' Now, dear, if there are two things I don't do, it's lie, and play extreme sports. }}

* [[Motor Mouth]]: Twitchy.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Parodied:

** What makes it funnier is that particular moment wasn't supposed to have a joke at all. It was ad-libbed by Andy Dick, who ''did'' think "Keith" was a stupid name for an evil [[Mook]].

* [[Name Face Mismatch Poster]]: In the Widescreen DVD cover, at least.

* [[Never Heard That One Before]]: Woolworth the sheep to Wolf when he jokes about pulling the wool over his eyes.

* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: To [[Trailers Always Spoil|preserve the twist in the story]], the trailers constantly portrayed the wolf as a moronic, incompetent villain, rather than being an actually intelligent character whose only antagonism was [[Mistaken Identity]].

** The trailer also mentions by name Anthony Anderson, who has maybe a dozen lines in the whole movie, but doesn't name Patrick Warburton, who has the second biggest part.

* [[Odd Name Out]]: See "names to run away from" above. The four mooks are named Dolf, Lisa, and Vincent... and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LliGvt3SMsw Keith].

* [[Oktoberfest]]: The Woodsman.

* [[Perspective Flip]]: The entire premise of the movie.

* [[Profiling]]: When Chief Grizzly insists on pinning the crime on Wolf, he sardonically mocks Grizzly as using racial profiling.

* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]

* [[Rashomon Style]]: Variation: The four accounts are all totally accurate (using literally the exact same animation from different angles when they overlap), but we still get a different impression from their limited perspectives and, in the case of Red's encounter with the Wolf, different lighting.

* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Boingo is well aware of his cuteness ''{{spoiler|and uses it to his advantage!}}''

* [[Serious Business]]: Goodies. The book of recipes is treated like the formula for Coca-Cola.

** Moreso. As several characters mention, "[[Catch Phrase|Goodies make the woods go 'round.]]"

** ''[[Fletch]]''. Wolf dresses like Irwin Fletcher, speaks like Irwin Fletcher, uses the ''same exact disguises'' as Irwin Fletcher, and even has the same [[Theme Song]] as Irwin Fletcher.

** The "Use the Hood" moment when Granny appears to Red has got to be a ''[[Star Wars]]'' reference.

** Wolf knocking on Granny's door identifies himself in the same way the Land Shark did in the [[Saturday Night Live]] skit.

** Twitch's babbling leads the police to treat him like Lassie. "Timmy's stuck in the well!"

* [[Species Surname]]: The Wolf's full name is apparently Wolf W. Wolf. Hmm, [[Sarcasm Mode|wonder what the W stands for]].

* [[Storybook Opening]]: literal one.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: "Now, dear, if there are two things I don't do, it's lie, and play extreme sports."

* [[Supervillain Lair]]

* [[Talks Like a Simile]]: Nicky. Lampshaded by Officer Grizzly: "You're just fulla those, aren't ya?"

* [[Title Drop]]: [[Villain Song|'You've been Hoodwinked, Baby!']]

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The woodsman doesn't know which end of the ax to chop with.

* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: Everyone sees the events differently, a la ''Rashomon''.

* [[Urban Fantasy]]

** Also, during the credit, you see a drawing of the Woodsman playing air guitar on his [[Stealth Pun|axe]].

* [[Waif Fu]]: Red is a proficient martial artist.

* [[White Bunny]]: Boingo

* [[You Can't Miss It]]: When The Wolf asked the Bunny for directions.
