Hoodwinked is a riotous retelling of the story of Little Red Riding Hood and her wolf-threatened journey to Grandma’s house. Turning the familiar tale on its head, the film presents a worldly-wise Red, a terribly misunderstood Wolf, a granny with a secret life and a rather insecure but brawny woodsman. Featuring the vocal talents of Anne Hathaway, Glenn Close, Patrick Warburton and Jim Belushi, this smart and fun-loving tale offers great appeal to moviegoers of all ages.
Hoodwinked is the first film from the brand new Kanbar Animation Studio, a joint effort between Maurice Kanbar and animation veteran Sue Bea Montgomery. The company was launched specifically to provide highly creative, story-focused, computer-generated films for family audiences.
Inventor, entrepreneur, chemist and philanthropist Maurice Kanbar lives the life of an innovator. Often driven by his own personal experiences, his ideas have included New York’s first multiplex cinema, over 30 patents for medical and consumer inventions and America’s most popular super-premium vodka—SKYY Vodka. His generous contributions to the Bay Area film community are unparalleled, and, as a committed member of the Film Society board of directors, he has helped to establish a framework for filmmakers the world over to tell their stories.
