Hoodwinked!, also titled Hoodwinked on its theatrical poster and in many reference sources, is a 2005 American computer-animated family action comedy film produced by Blue Yonder Films with Kanbar Entertainment. It was released by The Weinstein Company in selected markets on December 16, 2005, before expanding nationwide in the USA on January 13, 2006. It was written and directed by Cory Edwards, Todd Edwards, and Tony Leech, and stars the voices of Anne Hathaway, Glenn Close, Jim Belushi, Patrick Warburton, Andy Dick, David Ogden Stiers, Xzibit, Anthony Anderson, and Chazz Palminteri.

Based on the Little Red Riding Hood folktale, structurally, it borrows from the films Rashomon and The Usual Suspects, as well as frequently intertwining various plots. It is 80 minutes long and is rated PG in the US for mild action and thematic elements. A twenty-two minute behind the scenes video podcast is available for free in iTunes.

A sequel, Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil, was released on April 29, 2011.

The movie opens in medias res, as Little Red Riding Hood (Anne Hathaway) discovers that the Wolf (Patrick Warburton) has disguised himself as Red's Granny (Glenn Close), just as the ax-wielding Woodsman (Jim Belushi) bursts through the window. The police quickly arrive, and led by detective Nicky Flippers (David Ogden Stiers), the four are questioned about the events leading up to the incident.

Red (Hoodwinked) has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
