This week in the Deep Hurting Project: Hoodwinked Too: Hood vs. Evil. I've seen the original, and it's one of those movies that you can never tell is just mediocre or So Bad It's Good. I suppose it's interesting to have the wolf be an undercover reporter, but once you find that out, the true villain's identity becomes obvious. The graphics look like dogshit, but at least it has some insane shit like this:
And, amazingly, this actually comes back into play later in the film. Kind of.
It's still the better sequel And eventually, they made a sequel. And since it's in the Deep Hurting Project, you can probably guess what it's going to be like.

- I swear I've seen the font on the book cover somewhere before. Probably some blaxploitation poster.
- Did Hansel and Gretel even need the Happily Ever After Agency to help them? If I recall, didn't Gretel trick the witch into cooking herself so she could save Hansel?
- Chicken tastes just like children? Are you sure you're not thinking about veal?
- Did they consider replacing Patrick Warburton with Henry Winkler and renege at the last minute? That's the only way all those random Happy Days references make sense.
- Huh. Japeth can tell the future.
- Beavers sound like pigs and cats?
- The troll is a black drag queen. I would have never guessed.
- You'd think Red would have put the basket closer to the middle of the bridge so it doesn't fall into the abyss.
- Why would anyone want to kidnap your Granny? Red, did you even remember the plot of the last movie? Or did changing the voice actress make Red lose her memory?
- Of course the secret recipe guarded under a dozen levels of security somehow got stolen under everyone's nose. Of course it did.
- Seriously, Joan Cusack? That's the performance you're going to use here? The one that makes your turn in Mr. Wrong seem positively Oscar-worthy?
- The Giant is "a smuggler, a juggler, a robber, a cobbler, a picker, a grinner, a restauranteur, and blogs about animated films?" Replace "Restauranteur" with "Pedophile", and you'd get an easy John K joke.
- Actually, now that we see the Giant, it's probably more a propos to compare him to Harvey Weinstein. Seriously, this is the third Weinstein Company animated film I've watched for the project, and they've all reminded me that Harvey was a monster. And, surprisingly, this is the only one he actually had a hand in.
- She used a spatula to unlock the door? I swear, this makes the time Totally Spies used a can opener to unlock a door seem positively plausible.
- Wait? Hansel and Gretel are the criminal masterminds now? I know that they telegraphed the secret villain in the first one, but there has to be some way to balance the legitimately surprising and too obvious.
- So, the recipe was missing for 60 years? Nobody fucking checked in all that time?
- The Three Little Pigs being voiced by Cheech and Chong reminds me that their animated film is also eligible for the Project, and the only reason I haven't watched it yet is because it's not on streaming.
- Huh. I did not expect to hear Schlager in an American movie.
- Hansel and Gretel are giant Time Lords now. Why the fuck not?
- And we close on a funky love song dedicated to a squirrel. Did anyone in the Zoosadism leaks talk about fucking squirrels?
