A satirical take on "Little Red Riding Hood," the computer-animated "Hoodwinked" occupies some considerably shaky turf situated uncomfortably between "Shrek" and dreck. Despite attracting a name voice cast including Glenn Close, Jim Belushi and Anne Hathaway, this first effort from Kanbar Animation, a venture formed by Skyy Vodka inventor Maurice Kanbar and animation veteran Sue Bea Montgomery, gets hopelessly lost in the woods. Hampered by a comedic tone that's too one-note to sustain a feature-length format and less than fluid digital animation, this Weinstein Co. release, which opens today in Los Angeles and goes wide Jan. 13, will unlikely have a fairy-tale ending at the boxoffice.
