![]() The Wolf insists that he can explain things, but gets muzzled for his troubles, and Red gets snippy when Grizzly asks her if she should be in school ("Shouldn't I have a lawyer?"). Stork explains to Grizzly that their woodsman was swinging an axe and the Wolf was trying to eat Red. It is clear that none of them are happy about the situation. Inside the house, the four suspects we have met (from left to right - the Wolf, the woodsman, Granny, and Red) are sitting in chairs, handcuffed, around a smashed table. When Grizzly asks about a possible connection to the Goodie Bandit's recipe robberies, Stork says that there is a real possible chance this might be the big break they've been looking for: the house belongs to Granny Puckett, a big time cookbook lady. Stork reports that they've got a basic domestic disturbance, and there are a number of charges that can be filed against the detainees: breaking and entering, disturbing the peace, intent to eat, and wielding an axe without a license. Another cop, Jerry, holds the crowd back as Grizzly steps under the tape and talks to the first responding detective, Bill Stork ( Anthony Anderson). He refuses to comment to the reporters if the suspects inside are tied to a criminal called the "Goodie Bandit". Chief Ted Grizzly ( Xzibit) arrives in a marked squad car, and upon getting out of the car, he is swarmed by reporters gathered outside. The authorities have cordoned off Granny's house with crime scene tape, and officers can be seen milling around outside, talking as they stand guard. When the scene is restored, it is nightfall. Suddenly the image cuts to black and the exclaimed title is shown on screen. Seconds later, as Red and the Wolf are reacting to this discovery, a crazed-looking, axe-wielding lumberjack ( Jim Belushi) bursts through the window, screaming, to the horror of the other three. On cue, Granny jumps out of the closet door, bound and gagged. Red corners him and angrily demands to know what he's done with Granny, and the Wolf says he's taken her down and Red is next. She starts to move back into the living room as the Wolf grabs a fireplace poker for potential self defense and tells her to settle down. Red's reaction is one of shock and pure anger, and she demands to know if she needs to get a restraining order. When Red comments on the Wolf's bad breath, he finally gives up any attempt at continuing to impersonate Granny and tears off the mask. Much to the Wolf's irritation, she starts calling out his big facial features, including his pointy ears (which the mask fails to hide), his big eyes, and his undisguised hands. As she approaches, Red is very suspicious of the figure, given his mouth doesn't move when he talks. We, however, can see that it's clearly the Wolf ( Patrick Warburton), speaking in a falsetto voice, and wearing a plastic face mask and apron. A voice answers, and she turns to see "Granny" sitting up in her bed. Hearing silence, she steps further into the house and asks if everything is okay. Red ( Anne Hathaway) opens the door and enters the cottage, carrying a basket and looking for her Granny ( Glenn Close). Eventually, the image dissolves into an actual forest, exit into a clearing, and close on the door of a woodland cottage. The camera zooms in, flying through the cardboard cutouts of a forest. If you want to know the truth, you've gotta flip through the pages." The book flips open to a pop-up map. It's just like they always say, you can't judge a book by its cover. But there's more to every tale than meets the eye. An unseen narrator tells us, "Red Riding Hood. ![]() ![]() The image fades to show the cover of a copy of Red Riding Hood showing Little Red screaming as she is attacked by a menacing Wolf.
