| “ | Guess the cat's OUT OF THE BAG, EH?!!! | „ |
| ~ Red revealing his true nature to Charlie after tricking him in making a deal. |
Red is the main antagonist of the 1996 animated film All Dogs Go to Heaven 2. He is a demonic feline from Hell who desires to obtain Gabriel's horn to bring all angel dogs in Heaven to Hell.
He was voiced by George Hearn, who also played Captain Ahab in 20th Century Fox's The Pagemaster.
Appearance[]
Full appearance
Red is a large demon cat with red fur (hence his name), yellow eyes and long maroon fingernails. He always seen wearing a navy blue robe with a blue satin lining.
In his dog disguise, he looks like a St. Bernard with glowing light green eyes, and wears a crimson red robe, accompanied by a scarf, a fez and a pair of slippers of the same colors. On his true form, he is gigantic, muscular, and has glowing red eyes.
Personality[]
Compared to Carface (who is money-hungry), Red is manipulative, power-hungry, sadistic, prideful, merciless and psychopathic. He seems to be motivated by little else than his own desires to be as wicked as possible. Like all demonic entities, he prides himself on being sinister and doesn't approve of any "entry-level wickedness". In addition to being a malevolent and hellish feline, he also has the many characteristics of a cat, he eats rodents, he hates water (proven near the end of the film during the battle between him and Charlie), he thinks very low of dogs in general (especially his sidekick Carface), and he wants full control over them which plays a keen role in his goal to obtain the Horn.
He is also very deceptive and persuasive, which is shown by repeatedly disguising himself as an old St. Bernard to manipulate his victims, and he is also very hot-headed, passionate, melodramatic, and sensational, acting unfriendly in a big way whenever his patience is tried such as when Red snapped at Carface over wanting to make money with the horn, but power seems to excite Red as well proven when Red gets Gabriel's horn, he takes no notice of anything going on around him and when Carface says Charlie and his friends are getting away, Red tells him to let them go as he still got the Horn to himself.
Biography[]
Red is a powerful feline demon from Hell who recruited Carface in his plan to use the magical Horn Of Gabriel to pull all the dogs from Heaven into Hell. As such, Carface steals the Horn and escapes from Heaven, but loses it in the heart of San Francisco. Charlie is tasked, along with Itchy, to head over to San Francisco and retrieve the Horn. However, Charlie is upset to learn that he and Itchy aren't unable to make contact with the physical world, as they are currently ghosts. Of course, Carface meets up and introduces Red, who produces magical collars to make them corporeal as he has already done with Carface. With that in mind, Charlie was able to befriend an Irish Setter named Sasha LeFleur and a human boy name David, having them to help him and Itchy out in finding the Horn (which is located inside the local police department). In the meantime, Carface manages to locate a retired military prison on Alcatraz Island and present it over to Red, who happily decides to use the prison as a means of capturing the dogs. Charlie and his friends manage to obtain the Horn, but Charlie decides to stay for a little while as he needs to take care of David first (as the latter ran away from his family). However, the collars expire at sundown, and Charlie is upset at this as he promised to get David home.
Because of this, Charlie runs back to Red, asking for a new collar. Red states that he has to either pay or make a trade for it. Unwilling to break David's heart, Charlie reluctantly offers to trade the Horn for the collar, but that he needs the collar to get the Horn. To ensure of this, Red tricks Charlie into making a handshake deal, producing another collar. Red then reveals his true form, and using the collar to take control of Charlie, he forces Charlie to fetch the Horn; he even gets Carface to kidnap David so that Charlie can deliver the Horn to Alcatraz in one hour, otherwise Red himself will kill David.
Having no choice, Charlie is forced to oblige and delivers the Horn to Red at Alcatraz as ordered, and Red delightfully uses the Horn to transport all of the deceased dogs from Heaven into the locked cells of Alcatraz Island. Having succeeded in rounding up the dogs, Red grew himself into a giant monster before creating a whirlpool in order to transport Alcatraz Island slowly to Hell. However, Charlie, holding himself responsible for what happened, decides to fight back (with the help from his friends), but Red proves to be too strong for them. Eventually, Itchy is able to retrieve the Horn and gives it to Charlie, who plays the Horn to undo Red's powers, freeing all the deceased dogs from their cells, ending the whirlpool, rising Alcatraz Island back to the surface and sending a screaming Red to be transported down to Hell in failure.
Before vanishing, however, Red returns and drags Carface down, as this was part of their deal because he unknowingly sold his soul to him for the red collar after Charlie mentions to Carface about what he trades for Red. It's unknown what happened to Red after his defeat, but it's likely that he was brutally punished for his failure.

Trivia[]
- Red's pupils disappear occasionally during the film, especially whenever his eyes will glow.
- In his disguise, Red is one of only two animal characters in the All Dogs Go to Heaven franchise to wear shoes. All of the other animals are barefoot, with Chief in the TV series' episode "Charlie's Angle" as an exception.
- His red demon-like form is loosely based on Jafar's red genie form from Disney's Aladdin.
- Red isn't exactly Satan himself, as "his boss" is loosely referenced after his defeat, implying he maybe a pet or otherwise a servant.
- Furthermore, some has theorized that his "boss" is the Hellhound from the first film.
- He is the only All Dogs Go to Heaven main antagonist to have a stereotypical villain personality. The other main antagonists, Carface and Belladonna act either for revenge or their own personal gain. This makes Red the franchise's most dangerous villain as well.
- Red's design appears to be similar to the Hellhound's design from the first All Dogs Go to Heaven film.
- At one point in the film, Red teases Carface with a straight razor, possibly a reference to Sweeney Todd, who George Hearn played on stage and television.
- Red bares a strong resemblance to Scar from Disney's The Lion King franchise.
- Coincidentally perhaps, Jordi Doncos, Scar's singing voice in the Spanish dub also voiced Red.
- The trait of Red being a cat in disguise is similar to that of Warren T. Cat from An American Tail, which like the original All Dogs Go To Heaven movie, is directed by Don Bluth.
- Though Red never appeared in All Dogs Go To Heaven: The Series and An All Dogs Christmas Carol, his influence is still shown. Charlie develops hatred towards cats throughout the series due to his battle with Red, and that Carface and Killer still stay at Red's place. Additionally, Alcatraz Island is partly destroyed because of Red.
- It is unknown if Belladonna and Red knew each other, but they do have similar traits. They are both demonic beings from hell and they both serve as bosses to Carface.
- His face is similar to the Nightmare King from Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland.
