QUICK TAKE:
Animated Adventure: Red Riding Hood and Wolf return as bickering mission specialists for the Happily Ever After Agency and are tasked with saving the kidnapped Hansel and Gretel.
PLOT:
Red (voice of HAYDEN PANETTIERE) decides to leave her training at the Sister Hood, a secret academy where specially gifted young women learn to bake and fight, after her Granny (voice of GLENN CLOSE) is kidnapped by the evil Verushka the Witch (voice of JOAN CUSACK). She and Wolf (voice of PATRICK WARBURTON) are now operatives for the Happily Ever After Agency, an organization run by Nicky Flippers (voice of DAVID OGDEN STIERS) that's dedicated to preserving positive outcomes to fairy tale stories.

The two reteam to find Granny, who is being forced by Verushka to disclose the secret ingredient to a special brand of muffin that bestows omnipotence on those who eat it. The witch uses the kidnapped Hansel and Gretel (voices of BILL HADER and AMY POEHLER, respectively) as leverage, threatening to cook them alive if Granny does not comply.

It soon becomes clear, though, that Hansel and Gretel may be in on the nefarious plot. At the same time, Red and Wolf have to learn to work as a team to save Granny and complete their mission. This will require extracting information from the mobbed-up Giant (voice of BRAD GARRETT) and their old nemesis, Boingo the Bunny (voice of MARTIN SHORT).

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
Yes. Although the first film was not a major box office success, the sequel is targeted at the under-10 set and takes its inspiration from "Shrek," "Kung Fu Panda," and numerous other animated adventures.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG
For some mild rude humor, language, and action.
