No release date yet…but it looks like “Hoodwinked 2: Hood vs. Evil” will be out in 2008. It’s a sequel to “Hoodwinked”, the 2006 animated comedy from the Weinstein Company about the Little Red Riding Hood story that was one of my favorite films of year. Red (Anne Hathaway) and all the other great characters are returning. This is great news for anyone who saw the original, and if you didn’t, put “Hoodwinked” on your “must rent” list and see it before the new one hits theaters.
