Went and saw this movie last night with the kids and it is a horrible movie. If it was not for my kids I would have walked out.
Stay away... stay far away from this one.

Not really surprised. The previews looked pretty weak.
They've only been around a couple of years and I'm already getting tired of these generic CG cartoons.

Trust me; this one is bad. It really is not about Little Red Riding Hood based on what most of us know.
They took a bunch of caracters from different stories and threw them altoghter and tried to come up with an interesting plot line, and it fails miserably.
If anyone wants to know what is about I can add it to this thread.

Wasn't expecting much, but it wasn't the harbinger of all things evil as some of you are making it out to be. It was a helluva lot better than Chicken Little and Shrek 2.

Since I perceived ST to be nothing than a "Ooooo lookit all the big names we got to do voice work! Let's make a movie around them!", I avoided it. That's not to say other movies don't do that too, but I remember being particularly annoyed by the marketing for this movie.

I'd rather have someone pay a real voice actor than some celebrity.

yeah this movie was pretty good. i rather enjoyed it. had a lot of funny jokes and the squirrel said funny stuff so fast you might have missed. i was very pleased with this one. on another note, they've green lighted part 2. it will have the gang searching for a missing hansel and gretel.

I took my 7 year daughter to it last week. I was not expecting much, but found myself laughing more-and-more as the film went by. I'd give this one at least a 3 out of 4 rating.
Oh, and yes...head-and-shoulders above Shark Tale.
