🍿 Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil: Detailed Plot Synopsis

The Happily Ever After Agency’s Mission

Red Riding Hood is away, training with the Sister Hoods, a mysterious martial arts group. Meanwhile, the Happily Ever After Agency (HEA), led by Nicky Flippers, is tasked with rescuing Hansel and Gretel from an evil witch. The team, consisting of Granny, the Wolf, and Twitchy the Squirrel, attempts a rescue, but things go awry, leading to Granny’s kidnapping.

Red’s Training and Granny’s Capture

Red’s training at the Sister Hoods is interrupted when Nicky Flippers informs her about Granny’s abduction. It’s revealed that a powerful truffle recipe, guarded by the Sister Hoods, has been stolen. This recipe, known as the Norwegian Black Forest Feather Cake Truffle Divine, grants immense power to whoever consumes it, and Granny is the only one who knows the secret ingredient. Red, Wolf, and Twitchy team up to find the recipe and rescue Granny, but their conflicting personalities cause friction.

Unlikely Alliances and a City-Wide Rampage

Red and Wolf investigate the Giant, who is ordering the truffle ingredients. They discover that Boingo the Bunny is involved and trace the orders back to Verushka, the witch. Meanwhile, Granny escapes and discovers that Hansel and Gretel are the true masterminds seeking the truffle recipe for their own nefarious purposes. Red learns that Verushka is an old rival of Granny’s from their Sister Hood training. As Hansel and Gretel consume the truffles and transform into giants, they unleash a city-wide rampage.

• Toronto Globe & Mail: “It’s a feat to create jokes that can be simultaneously stale to adults and inexplicable to children.
• Los Angeles Times: “Hansel and Gretel are this movie’s breakout stars, but it’s not enough to make Hoodwinked Too feel like anything but a storybook hurled straight at your head.
• St. Petersburg Times: “The animation resemblesthe clunky Canadian stuff on Saturday morning TV, and ‘jokes’ strain the definition of that word . For the love of movies, stay away.

The Cheech and Chong cameo gets some praise for those who are fans.: Some viewers thought the Cheech and Chong characters were the only funny parts in the movie
