Hoodwinked
Main Cast
SynopsisSpoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.The story begins in media res, with Red, the Wolf, Granny, and the Woodsman in their confrontation at Granny's house. Mid-scene, the story jumps ahead to the police cordoning off Granny’s house following the opening events. The lead investigator, frog-form Nicky Flippers, interrogates each of the four participants, with each character giving their own version of how and why they arrived at the house. Because the film uses a police interrogation as a framing sequence, it is evocative of the 1995 crime thriller The Usual Suspects, and because the four participants’ stories converge at points prior to the meeting at Granny’s, and are at times self-serving, the format is evocative of Akira Kurosawa’s 1950 film Rashomon. Red, the first interview subject, tells Flippers that she is merely a delivery person for her Granny’s “goodies”, and that when she came across the ransacked home of another goody-maker, the latest in a recent string of such attacks by a thief known only as the Goody Bandit, whose crimes have resulted in the closure of many goody makers in the forest, Red decided to take the hidden recipe book in the house for safekeeping. This admission appears damning, as it casts Red in a suspicious light, but Red asserts her innocence, adding that on her way to Granny’s house, she fell from an air trolley she was riding with the rabbit Boingo, and when she landed in the forest, she ran into the Wolf, who, after questioning her, appeared to become hostile. After using her martial arts skills and a “Wolf Away” spray to repel the lupine attacker, Red fled, using a mountain railway system manned by a singing goat with detachable horns with different uses. As the railway cart they were riding emerged from the mountain, Red saw that the tracks far ahead of them were apparently destroyed, and an image of her Granny appeared in the sky above her instructing her to use her hood as a parachute, which Red successfully did (the goat used a pair of helicopter-horns to land safely also). When she gets to Granny’s she sees through the Wolf’s transparently obvious Granny disguise, and just as he reveals himself and the two confront one another again, a bound and gagged Granny jumps out of her closet, and then a crazed-looking axe-wielding Woodsman jumps into the living room through the window screaming, to the horror of the other three. Flippers then interrogates the Wolf, who it appears certain is the culprit. But the Wolf reveals that he is an investigative reporter whose prior stories Flippers is familiar with, and tells him that he and his hyperactive photographer, a squirrel named Twitchy, were investigating the recent thefts of various recipes by the Goody Bandit, and became suspicious of Red when he saw her traipsing through the forest with goodies in a basket. He explains that he was merely questioning Red because it was his job, and that when his tail got caught in the film chamber of Twitchy’s camera, he roared in pain, which Red took as an attack. After using a shortcut provided by Boingo the rabbit, the Wolf and Twitchy used the mountain railway system, which was destroyed when Twitchy lit a candle in the cart that turned out to be a stick of dynamite. The duo arrive at Granny’s house, and the Wolf throws Twitchy in the closet to hide, but Granny is already there, and already tied up, which complicates the authorities’ view of the Wolf as the culprit. The Wolf puts on a Granny disguise, and the confrontation is again seen. The Woodsman is then interrogated. He reveals that he is an aspiring actor, and that for money, he drives a goody truck, selling schnitzel on a stick to children. He tells Flippers that after a disastrous audition for a bunion cream commercial, where his thick Austrian accent hurt his chances, he got a callback. He then discovers that his goody truck has been robbed, apparently in another attack by the Goody Bandit, as Boingo opines on the scene. The Woodsman is distraught, but decides to prepare for the role of a woodsman by chopping down trees. But an avalanche approaches, and a log he finds himself atop rolls down the hill to Granny’s house, and he is thrown through the living room window, hollering the entire way. Granny is the last to be interviewed. She reveals that she is an extreme athlete who prefers activities like snowboarding to being the stereotypical goody-making grandmother. She explains that she enjoys such activities, and that at a snowboarding tournament between her teammates and an opposing team, Boingo the rabbit even asked for her autograph. She tells Flippers that during the race down the mountain, the opposing team physically attacked her and her team, and she narrowly escaped a mountain avalanche via a parachute. As she approached her home, she saw Red below her in the railway cart, and advised her to use her hood as her own parachute. Shortly after, Granny arrived in her bedroom. Her parachute became caught in the ceiling fan, and she ended up wrapped up in it and thrown into her own closet. The familiar confrontation with Red, the Wolf and the Woodsman then ensued. The revelation of Granny’s other life is a shock to Red, who is hurt that Granny lied to her. The police are back to square one, as none of the four appears to be culprits, but then the basket of Granny’s goodies and the recipe book is found to be missing, as is Red. We then see Red following the real thief, the one who was present during all four accounts: Boingo. Red follows him on the air tram up to the mountain, where he and his henchmen, the aforementioned opposing snowboarding team, plan to corner the market on goodies, and make them highly addictive to kids. Red is discovered, and placed in the air tram filled with dynamite. The Wolf, Granny and the Woodsman follow, and foil Boingo’s plans. Red is freed from the air tram before it explodes, and Boingo and his henchmen are captured by the police. The next day, Flippers tells the four that he has decided to open up his own private business, and offers to enlist the three for their special skills. The three accept. ReactionTest audiences for the film, which featured parents and children, were generally positive, with some concerns by parents over the violence in the film (there are some physical altercations involving martial arts, and two scenes involving lethal explosions), and of the sinister nature of the character of Boingo. The film exceeded analyst expectations [citation needed] by nearly doubling what had been predicted for its box office debut, winning the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend according to initial estimates, though it would lose the crown to Glory Road a day later when the actual receipts were calculated. The quality of the film's animation has been criticized, specifically by animators within the animation industry, some of whom believe that the success of the movie shows a disregard for quality and will eventually hurt the industry. This has been disputed by many fans of the film, who believe that the film has a strong story, whose importance supercedes that of the animation. [citation needed] Trivia

[citation needed]. Outside of these groups however, the pronunciation porsh (IPA /pɔɹʃ/) is standard. This has been disputed by many fans of the film, who believe that the film has a strong story, whose importance supercedes that of the animation. There is a habit in American English towards over-compensating the e, which then results into pronouncing it as Pors-scha (IPA /ˈpɔɹʃa/). The quality of the film's animation has been criticized, specifically by animators within the animation industry, some of whom believe that the success of the movie shows a disregard for quality and will eventually hurt the industry. In English, the German form is often heard from official Porsche sources and from some Porsche owners and enthusiasts. Day weekend according to initial estimates, though it would lose the crown to Glory Road a day later when the actual receipts were calculated. In German "Porsche" is pronounced porsh-uh (IPA /ˈpɔɹʃə/). The film exceeded analyst expectations [citation needed] by nearly doubling what had been predicted for its box office debut, winning the Martin Luther King, Jr. See: Category:Porsche vehicles. Test audiences for the film, which featured parents and children, were generally positive, with some concerns by parents over the violence in the film (there are some physical altercations involving martial arts, and two scenes involving lethal explosions), and of the sinister nature of the character of Boingo. Major Victories and Championships. The three accept. Based on LMP2 homologaton regulations, the RS Spyder made its debut at Laguna Seca during the final race of the 2005 ALMS season and immediately garnering a class win in the LMP2 class and finishing 5th overall. The next day, Flippers tells the four that he has decided to open up his own private business, and offers to enlist the three for their special skills. Porsche dropped its factory motorsports programs during the turn of the century (preferring to support privateers) for financial reasons and has only recently made a comeback with the new RS Spyder prototype. Red is freed from the air tram before it explodes, and Boingo and his henchmen are captured by the police. Stock and lightly-modified Porsches are raced in many competitions around the world; some of these are primarily amateur classes for enthusiasts, but the Porsche Michelin Supercup is a wholly professional category raced as a support category for European Formula One rounds. The Wolf, Granny and the Woodsman follow, and foil Boingo’s plans. Porsche returned to F1 again in 1991 as an engine supplier, however this time with disastrous results: Porsche-powered Footwork cars failed to score a single point, and failed to even qualify for over half the races that year; Porsche has not participated in Formula One since. Red is discovered, and placed in the air tram filled with dynamite. Porsche-powered cars took two constructor championships in 1984 and 1985 and three driver crowns in 1984, 1985 and 1986. Red follows him on the air tram up to the mountain, where he and his henchmen, the aforementioned opposing snowboarding team, plan to corner the market on goodies, and make them highly addictive to kids. Porsche returned in 1983 after nearly two decades away, supplying engines badged as TAG units for the McLaren Team. We then see Red following the real thief, the one who was present during all four accounts: Boingo. Privateers continued to enter out-dated Porsche 718 in F1 until 1964. The police are back to square one, as none of the four appears to be culprits, but then the basket of Granny’s goodies and the recipe book is found to be missing, as is Red. At the end of the season, Porsche retired from F1 due to the high costs. The revelation of Granny’s other life is a shock to Red, who is hurt that Granny lied to her. One week later, he repeated the success in front of Porsche's home crowd on Stuttgart's Solitude in a non-championship race. The familiar confrontation with Red, the Wolf and the Woodsman then ensued. Porsche has also participated in Formula One racing, with mixed results; its first foray (as a constructor) from 1961 to 1962 produced just one win in a championship race, claimed by Dan Gurney at the 1962 French Grand Prix. Her parachute became caught in the ceiling fan, and she ended up wrapped up in it and thrown into her own closet. The Paris Dakar Rally was won twice, too using the 911 derived Porsche 959 Group B supercar. Shortly after, Granny arrived in her bedroom. Jean-Pierre Nicolas even managed to win the 1978 Monte Carlo Rally with a private 911 SC. As she approached her home, she saw Red below her in the railway cart, and advised her to use her hood as her own parachute. Porsche official team was only present in seldom occasion in Rally, but the best private 911s were often close to other brand works car. She tells Flippers that during the race down the mountain, the opposing team physically attacked her and her team, and she narrowly escaped a mountain avalanche via a parachute. The various version versions of the 911 also proved to be serious competitor in Rally as long as the regulations allowed them to compete. She explains that she enjoys such activities, and that at a snowboarding tournament between her teammates and an opposing team, Boingo the rabbit even asked for her autograph. Recently, 996-generation 911 GT3s have dominated their class at Le Mans and similar endurance and GT races. She reveals that she is an extreme athlete who prefers activities like snowboarding to being the stereotypical goody-making grandmother. Many Porsche race cars are run successfully by customer teams, financed and run without any factory support - often they have beaten the factory itself. Granny is the last to be interviewed. The Porsche 917 is considered one of the most iconic sports racing cars of all time and gave Porsche their first Le Mans win while the Group C Porsche 956/962C is one of the most successful sports prototype racers ever produced. But an avalanche approaches, and a log he finds himself atop rolls down the hill to Granny’s house, and he is thrown through the living room window, hollering the entire way. Also, they did well in the Mille Miglia and especially 24 hours of Le Mans where they have won 16 times overall (more than any other company), plus many class wins. The Woodsman is distraught, but decides to prepare for the role of a woodsman by chopping down trees. Particular success has been in sports car racing, notably the Carrera Panamericana and Targa Florio, races which were later used in the naming of street cars. He then discovers that his goody truck has been robbed, apparently in another attack by the Goody Bandit, as Boingo opines on the scene. As Porsche offered only small capacity cars in the 1950s and 1960s, they scored many wins in their classes, and occasionally also overall victories against bigger cars. He tells Flippers that after a disastrous audition for a bunion cream commercial, where his thick Austrian accent hurt his chances, he got a callback. Porsche has been successful in many branches of motor-racing, scoring a total of more than 23,000 victories. He reveals that he is an aspiring actor, and that for money, he drives a goody truck, selling schnitzel on a stick to children. In early October 2005 the company announced acquisition of an 18.53% stake in Volkswagen AG and disclosed intentions to acquire additional VW shares in the future. The Woodsman is then interrogated. As of 2005, the extended Porsche and Piech families controlled all of Porsche AG's voting shares. The Wolf puts on a Granny disguise, and the confrontation is again seen. In 2004, production of the Porsche Carrera GT commenced in Leipzig, and at EUR 450,000.00 it is the most expensive production model Porsche ever built. The duo arrive at Granny’s house, and the Wolf throws Twitchy in the closet to hide, but Granny is already there, and already tied up, which complicates the authorities’ view of the Wolf as the culprit. Porsche's 2002 introduction of the Cayenne also marked the unveiling of a new production facility in Leipzig, Saxony, which today accounts for nearly half of Porsche's annual output. After using a shortcut provided by Boingo the rabbit, the Wolf and Twitchy used the mountain railway system, which was destroyed when Twitchy lit a candle in the cart that turned out to be a stick of dynamite. With half of all voting shares, he also remains the largest individual shareholder of Porsche AG. He explains that he was merely questioning Red because it was his job, and that when his tail got caught in the film chamber of Twitchy’s camera, he roared in pain, which Red took as an attack. Ferdinand Porsche's grandson, Ferdinand Piëch, was chairman and CEO of the Volkswagen Group from 1993 to 2002. But the Wolf reveals that he is an investigative reporter whose prior stories Flippers is familiar with, and tells him that he and his hyperactive photographer, a squirrel named Twitchy, were investigating the recent thefts of various recipes by the Goody Bandit, and became suspicious of Red when he saw her traipsing through the forest with goodies in a basket. Porsche hired Toyota to assist in Japanese production methods, Toyota are also assisting Porshce with Hybrid technology. Flippers then interrogates the Wolf, who it appears certain is the culprit. Both Audi and Škoda are wholly-owned subsidiaries of VW. When she gets to Granny’s she sees through the Wolf’s transparently obvious Granny disguise, and just as he reveals himself and the two confront one another again, a bound and gagged Granny jumps out of her closet, and then a crazed-looking axe-wielding Woodsman jumps into the living room through the window screaming, to the horror of the other three. The Porsche Cayenne, introduced in 2002, shares the entire body with VW Touareg, which are built at the Škoda factory in Bratislava. As the railway cart they were riding emerged from the mountain, Red saw that the tracks far ahead of them were apparently destroyed, and an image of her Granny appeared in the sky above her instructing her to use her hood as a parachute, which Red successfully did (the goat used a pair of helicopter-horns to land safely also). Most 944 were also done there even though they used many fewer VW components. After using her martial arts skills and a “Wolf Away” spray to repel the lupine attacker, Red fled, using a mountain railway system manned by a singing goat with detachable horns with different uses. The two companies collaborated in 1969 to make the VW-Porsche 914 and 914-6, in 1976 with the Porsche 924, which used many Audi components and was built at an Audi Neckarsulm factory. This admission appears damning, as it casts Red in a suspicious light, but Red asserts her innocence, adding that on her way to Granny’s house, she fell from an air trolley she was riding with the rabbit Boingo, and when she landed in the forest, she ran into the Wolf, who, after questioning her, appeared to become hostile. The company has always had a close relationship with Volkswagen, and as already mentioned, the first Porsche cars used many Volkswagen components. Red, the first interview subject, tells Flippers that she is merely a delivery person for her Granny’s “goodies”, and that when she came across the ransacked home of another goody-maker, the latest in a recent string of such attacks by a thief known only as the Goody Bandit, whose crimes have resulted in the closure of many goody makers in the forest, Red decided to take the hidden recipe book in the house for safekeeping. A cost-reduced model with the same body but 356-derived running gear (including its four-cylinder engine) was sold as the 912. Because the film uses a police interrogation as a framing sequence, it is evocative of the 1995 crime thriller The Usual Suspects, and because the four participants’ stories converge at points prior to the meeting at Granny’s, and are at times self-serving, the format is evocative of Akira Kurosawa’s 1950 film Rashomon. It remains in production; however, after several generations of revision, current-model 911s share only the basic mechanical concept of a rear-engined, six=cylinder coupe, and basic styling cues with the original car. The lead investigator, frog-form Nicky Flippers, interrogates each of the four participants, with each character giving their own version of how and why they arrived at the house. Far more than any other model, the Porsche brand is defined by the 911. Mid-scene, the story jumps ahead to the police cordoning off Granny’s house following the opening events. The car has become their most well-known model, successful on the race-track, in rallies, and in terms of sales. The story begins in media res, with Red, the Wolf, Granny, and the Woodsman in their confrontation at Granny's house. In 1963, after some success in motor-racing (namely with the Porsche 550 Spyder), the company launched the Porsche 911, another air-cooled, rear-engined sports car, this time with a 6-cylinder "boxer" engine. . The sleek bodywork was designed by Erwin Komenda who had also designed the body of the Beetle. It is 80 minutes long and is rated PG for mild action and thematic elements. The last 356s were powered by 100% Porsche designed engines. Although it is based on the Little Red Riding Hood folktale, structurally, it borrows from the films Rashomon and The Usual Suspects, and its setting uses the same type of anachronistic and satirical mixing of modern and fantasy culture as the Shrek films. However, the 356 had several evolutions while in production and many VW parts were replaced by Porsche-made parts. It was written and directed by Cory Edwards, Todd Edwards, and Tony Leech, and stars the voices of Anne Hathaway, Glenn Close, James Belushi, Patrick Warburton, Andy Dick, David Ogden Stiers, Xzibit, Anthony Anderson and Chazz Palminteri. Again, the car used components from the Beetle including its engine, gearbox and suspension. It was released by The Weinstein Company in selected markets on December 16, 2005, before expanding nationwide on January 13, 2006. Ferdinand Porsche worked with his son Ferry Porsche in designing the 356 but died soon after the first prototype was built. An alternate title of the film was Hoodwinked! The True Story of Red Riding Hood. . The actor who voiced the Woodsman also did so with a far heavier Austrian accent. Andy Dick –Boingo. Studebaker, SEAT, Daewoo, Subaru and Yugo have consulted Porsche on engineering for their cars or engines. Anthony Anderson –Detective Bill Stork. Porsche has for many years offered consultancy services to various other car manufacturers. Xzibit –Chief Grizzly. Some Boxster and Cayman production is outsourced to Valmet Automotive in Finland. David Ogden Stiers –Nicky Flippers. The headquarters and main factory are still at Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, but for the Cayenne and Carrera GT there is a new plant at Leipzig, in the east of Germany. Cory Edwards –Twitchy. As a company, Porsche is known for weathering changing market conditions with great financial stability, while retaining most production in Germany during an age when most other German car manufacturers have moved at least partly to Eastern Europe or overseas. Patrick Warburton –The Wolf. Future plans include a high performance luxury sedan. James Belushi –The Woodsman. The current Porsche lineup includes everything from an entry-level roadster (Boxster) to a Supercar (Carrera GT). Glenn Close –Granny Puckett. Porsche has a reputation for producing high-end sports vehicles that, despite their high performance, are reliable and tractable enough to be used for daily driving, and of high manufacturing quality and durability. Anne Hathaway –Red Puckett. The company is located in Zuffenhausen, a city district of Stuttgart.
