Inside grandma there are two wolves ...

That's a lot of red rocket.

Not NSFW..... But otherwise in this context, the animated movie Hoodwinked was such a fun movie. Don't know why it has such average reviews.

Don’t know why it has such average reviews.

I've never seen anybody say that movie is bad. No idea how that aggregates into the reviews either.

A bit off topic but I find it more and more difficult figuring out if I will like a movie basted on reviews alone, as when I'll check the metrics it will be a thousand 1s and four hundred 10s.

One complaint. Not happy they chose Andy Dick to be in it, but at least they made him the bad guy so little kids who watched could dislike him! Watched it more than once and would again.

Still my favorite 'jacked up'/caffeinated squirrel scene, with Over the Hedge being a close 2nd.

I've heard childrens' movies don't get good scores because they don't cater to reviewers.

Times have changed. I first watched Speed Racer AFTER, both Animated Spiderverse movies and Kpop demon hunters.

Speed Racer is amazing (am willing to put it ABOVE Into the Spiderverse.) But since it came out in 2008. The same year as The Dark Knight, and just before the rise of the MCU, audiences went ready for the over the top animation style of over-the-top action comedy.

Release Hoodwinked now, and I'm 98% sure it would be in reviewers top 10 of the year

Ohhh, hoodwink, not hoodtwink.

Hoodwink (1981)
89 minutes | Crime, Drama, Romance
Hoodwink is based on the true story of an Australian con artist who briefly won the hearts of the media (if not the authorities). John Hargreaves stars as a criminal serving time in a New South Wales prison. He's not partial to the physical labor required of the convicts, so he hits upon a labor-saving plan. Hargreaves pretends to be totally blind, thus lightening his work load....and carries off the hoax for years.

"My, what a big, red knot you have Grandma!"

[–] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

I threw up in my mouth.

Best comment I've seen today.

Grandma is a freak and I am happy for her.

Maybe of you visited Grandma a little bit more she would not turn to local fauna for company, Red.

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Another reminder to rewatch Hoodwinked...

I'm built different. You throw me to the wolves, I come back with a mate and puppies.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Her grandma is a furry. XD
