Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil—fun
take on Hansel and Gretel—gives us a little espionage/Mission Impossible feel with a bit of karate mixed in. The animated
film uses 3D technology to appeal visually. It’s definitely a ‘worth watching’
comedy feature that attends to the child and is smart enough for the adult.

Yes.
It’s a well-done elevation of an old story theme that provides excellent
child/adult share entertainment.
