Times have changed. I first watched Speed Racer AFTER, both Animated Spiderverse movies and Kpop demon hunters.
Speed Racer is amazing (am willing to put it ABOVE Into the Spiderverse.) But since it came out in 2008. The same year as The Dark Knight, and just before the rise of the MCU, audiences went ready for the over the top animation style of over-the-top action comedy.
Release Hoodwinked now, and I’m 98% sure it would be in reviewers top 10 of the year
One complaint. Not happy they chose Andy Dick to be in it, but at least they made him the bad guy so little kids who watched could dislike him! Watched it more than once and would again.
Still my favorite ‘jacked up’/caffeinated squirrel scene, with Over the Hedge being a close 2nd.
A bit off topic but I find it more and more difficult figuring out if I will like a movie basted on reviews alone, as when I’ll check the metrics it will be a thousand 1s and four hundred 10s.
I’ve never seen anybody say that movie is bad. No idea how that aggregates into the reviews either.

I’ve heard childrens’ movies don’t get good scores because they don’t cater to reviewers.
