The Festival showcases features, shorts and experimental films in all styles of funny.

Blu-Ray Review: Horrible ‘Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil’
Submitted by BrianTT on August 22, 2011 - 2:14pmCHICAGO – Rarely has a theatrical kids movie been more of a complete disaster than “Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil,” recently released on Blu-ray and DVD. The film was such a train wreck that it sat on the shelf for years and was unceremoniously dumped in theaters in early 2011 with nearly no marketing and no promotion. The film barely crested $10 million at the domestic box office (only 20% of the original’s take) and I feel sorry for those paying customers. This is a truly soulless, horrendous piece of animated filmmaking, one of the worst films of 2011.
