Little red riding hood goes through the forest. She comes to her grandma house. Paul Bunyan charges in through the window. Then Rashomon happens.
Compared to Ice age 2, this cartoon kicks ass. It`s funny, the humour is PG13 and the dialogues are entertaining. It`s basically a classic red riding hood story with a twist or an add-on.
It`s basically a “let`s take a well-known story and turn it around so many times the people won`t know which way is up and which way is down”. Throw in a couple of movie spoofs (m:i-2, XXX, star wars, the matrix) and you got yourself a bulletproof feature which does not go stale and ice cold. Wanna bet if this comes into our theaters?
Indeed, very entertaining movie. And some of the spoofs are a bit harder to spot. The whole Nick Flippers character was, I believe, a wonderful homage to the detective Nick Charles of the “Thin Man” movie series from 30ties and 40ties.
