History WesternAnimation / Hoodwinked

* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: Has its own Japanese [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4OenjgOycg theme song]].

** In the Widescreen DVD cover, at least, to some extent. While a few of the nametags for important characters are held by the correct person, the nametag for Xzibit as Chief Grizzly is held up by Dolph, one of the skiers.

* DoubleEntendre: Granny literally wins the ski race by a landslide.

''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.

* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: And handled '''much''' less clunkily than the way it was handled in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' franchise; the prize for the most impressive and spectacular martial artists in the film goes to [[spoiler:Boingo, who utilizes his ''ears'' as the primary weapon of his highly effective personal style of martial arts]]. Red's method is also quite awesome, at least in the Wolf's story where she beats him up.

* ShoutOut:
** Lots of references are made to other classic fairy tale characters, their stories, and nursery rhymes.
*** Literature/{{Rumpelstiltskin}}: Flippers says upon seeing the Wolf, "I remember you! Three years ago on the Stiltskin case: you were snooping around for a lead on his real name." The Wolf matter-of-factly says, "I was close too. I was gonna go with Greg. Greg Stiltskin."
*** The Muffin Man: Never seen on-screen, but when Red runs into Boingo during her bike ride, he sadly states that his employer - the Muffin Man - was shut down last night by the Goodie Bandit. Also, when the Wolf's story begins, there's a quick shot of Boingo in the store holding a muffin tray out to a disguised Wolf during his investigation montage.
*** Little Bo Peep: When the Wolf interviews his informant Woolworth, Woolworth describes Red as a "sweet gal, not like that Bo Peep. That brat put up an invisible fence, I tasted metal fillings for a week!"
*** "Over the River and Through the Wood": When the Wolf and Twitchy have their encounter with Boingo, Boingo says he knows a shortcut to Granny's house. He quotes the song title, only he transposes the nouns - he says, "You go over the woods and through the river....No, you don't want to go through the river. You'll get all wet." Cut to the Wolf and Twitchy in a flooded tunnel.
** ''Film/{{Fletch}}''. Wolf dresses like, speaks like, uses the ''same exact disguises'' as, and even has the same ThemeSong, as Irwin Fletcher.
** ''Film/{{XXX}}''. Granny has 3 G's tattooed on the back of her neck, which Flippers says is appropriate because [[Creator/VinDiesel she has three strikes against her]].
** The scene where the Wolf questions Woolworth is an homage to ''Film/TheNakedGun''. It even directly lifts some of its dialogue.
** The "USE THE HOOD!!" moment when Granny appears to Red while her mine cart is flying through the sky.
*** Also in ''Franchise/StarWars'' references: the scene where Twitchy and the Wolf fall into a hole while in the cave, and all you can see of Twitchy is his camera light, is similar to Luke and [=R2D2=]'s arrival on Dagobah in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
** The Wolf knocking on Granny's door and identifies himself with "candygram" in the same way the Land Shark did in the ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' skit. Also a possible reference to the "Candygram for Mongo" scene in ''Film/BlazingSaddles''.
** Twitchy's babbling leads the police to treat him like Lassie. "[[TimmyInAWell The well! Timmy's stuck in the well!]]"
** Twitchy reads the print on the side of a stick of dynamite: [[Film/AChristmasStory "DEE-NA-MEE-TAY. Hmm, must be Italian]]".
** The sign over Japeth's shack (visible when Red is walking up the hill to the front porch) reads '''Pecos Mining Co.''', a clear reference to the mythical American cowboy Pecos Bill.
** ''Film/SongOfTheSouth'' is referenced in the hummingbirds who appear in "Great Big World".
** Many of the scenes in the cable car (Red's aborted ride up and also the life-and-death finale) nod to the German war film ''Film/WhereEaglesDare''.
** Boingo says, "But I'm top of the woods now, baby!" which is a take on James Cagney's line "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!" in ''Film/WhiteHeat''.
** Red's fight with Boingo in the cable car loading dock is reminiscent of the training sequence between Neo and Morpheus in ''Film/TheMatrix''. Especially with green monitors in the background.
** There is reference to ''Film/SaturdayNightFever'' during "Tree Critter" prior to the ski race.
** The song "Critters Have Feelings" is either that...or bordering at copyright infringement to [[Music/TheCars The Cars]].

* ExcitedShowTitle: Often shown on-screen and mainly used by WordOfGod and Website/TheOtherWiki. Well, not on this website.

*** When he realizes that the candle Twitchy's just lit in the cart [[DynamiteCandle isn't actually a candle]]. "Lose the candle!"
