Review

This soundtrack to the animated Hollywood re-imagining of the popular Little Red Riding Hood children's story is a winning combination of classic movie orchestration and early-21st-century flourishes. --Muze

5.0 out of 5 stars Pardon the pun, but this album is a real treat!, December 22, 2005

Todd Edwards, John Mark Painter and a few others have delivered a marvelous soundtrack to the movie "Hoodwinked". Edwards, one of the movie's co-directors and co-writers, also wrote most of the songs in the movie. The material ranges over many genres, and he is convincing with each one.

There are several score cues peppered throughout the album that show John Mark Painter's excellent abilities as a film composer. Painter's background includes the popular mod rock band "Fleming and John". He has also extensive experience engineering, mixing and playing for BEN FOLDS, among others.

ANNE HATHAWAY, the voice talent for "Red" in the movie, sings the upbeat song entitled "Great Big World", while BEN FOLDS appears on the track "Red is Blue", and both give a terrific performance. The song "Red is Blue" is a definite highlight. Cory Edwards, the director of "Hoodwinked", pitches in with a couple of impressive rap songs - one voiced by Cory himself.

Another one of the great features this soundtrack album offers is the liner notes. There is a full-color 12-page booklet included, featuring the lyrics and Todd Edwards' written commentary per track. There is a shortage of good liner notes in the world these days, but this one delivers above expectations. The artwork throughout is also excellent.

This is one great package of an album. It could stand alone as a project unto itself in my opinion. The good news is, that the soon-to-be released movie is as strong as the album, and when the movie's available, I'll proudly place it into my home collection as well. For now, the soundtrack will do just fine.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you're looking for this cd..., December 8, 2006

If you're a fan of the movie, this is a great cd. But it's hard to find, since it isn't in production any more. Just a tip--you can pay $50 or more for the cd on e-bay or from one of these sellers, or you can download it for $10 from Napster.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soundtrack Like the Movie Appeals to Adults, March 4, 2006

Listening to the songs on this CD allows one who has seen the movie, not only to recall its most touching scenes, but to give them deeper diminsions. In "Red is Blue" (sung by Ben Folds) Todd Edwards verbalizes a youthful identity crisis which most have experienced + you'll hear of the shooting star you saw in Red's night scene. In "Critters Have Feelings" -- guys, Todd wrote & sings this song about your first love that turned your heart to splinters & of course you'll recall the Wolf accidentally eavesdropping on the catepillars. The upbeat "Great Big World" displays Anne Hathaway's here-to-for unknown crystal clear singing voice & gives a clue that the sequel will probably take Red beyond the forest. On "Be Prepared" you'll relive the mountain goat's Swiss Army horns and you'll re-experience the avalanche imperiled ore car, roller coster ride as Benji Gaither reveals a Gaither style you've never heard before. Buy this CD for yourself and send several for gifts.
