Grizzly and Stork are a pair of critter cops who have been called to the homey bungalow of Granny to investigate a disturbance of the peace. It seems there was an altercation involving Granny, her granddaughter Little Red Riding Hood, a Big Bad Wolf, and a Woodsman. However, as the detectives interview the participants and get each individual's perspective, they learn that Granny isn't so helpless, Red may have been doing more than just visiting relatives, the Wolf isn't the predator he's been cracked up to be, and the Woodman doesn't have much of an intellectual advantage over the trees he chops down.
Definitely a kids movie. Don't get me wrong, the story was told in a very creative way - each character told their version of events and they all fit together and answered more and more questions as it went along. There were some funny play on words and the animation was clean and easy to watch. However, the plot wasn't exactly captivating and the choices for voices could have been better (Xzibit as a cop & Andy Dick as anything?!?). Kids would probably like the bold colors, quirky characters and easy to follow storyline, but there's not a whole lot to keep adults entertained - good thing it was only about 75 minutes.

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
