Red is the main antagonist of All Dogs Go to Heaven 2. He is Charlie's arch-nemesis and Carface's former leader and boss.
Appearance[]
Red is a tall, demonic red cat, with Scarlet red fur (hence his name), yellow eyes, and long maroon fingernails. He wears a blue robe-like cloak.
In his dog disguise, he looks like a St. Bernard, and wears a red robe, scarf, fez, and a pair of slippers.
As a monster, he is gigantic, muscular, and has glowing red eyes and his blue robe-like cloak was burned into shreds when he transformed into that state after blowing Gabriel's Horn.
Personality[]
Compared to Carface (who is money-hungry), Red is tricky, power-hungry, snooty, 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 pure evil, being evil and does not 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 dishonest, wily, comical, funny, mischievous, rowdy, diligent, reverent, emotionless, shifty, scheming, power-hungry, self-centered, murderous, ruthless, reckless and persuasive, which is shown by repeatedly disguising himself as an elderly dog to manipulate his victims, and he is also very hotheaded, passionate, melodramatic, and sensational, acting hostile 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 that Charlie and his friends are getting away Red merely says "Let them".
He's filled with hatred for the Angeles cat family, who keep the magical Gabriel's Horn from prevent to taking over the world and defeated him from New Orleans, Louisiana. He's main archenemy of Gabriel and Beverly, Edward and Elisabeth, and Charlie and Itchy for standing in his way.
Biography[]
All Dogs Go to Heaven 2[]
Red is a powerful 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. To this end, he tricked Carface's old nemesis Charlie into aiding him via creating magical collars and forcing him into a deal, under the disguise of an aged dog.
This climaxed in the demon managing to actually get the horn and he began to imprison the inhabitants of Heaven (including Annabelle) and growing into a dangerous monster of seemingly apocalyptic proportions, causing the sea itself to start to rise around the island in a massive whirlpool.
However, Charlie and his friends decide to fight back, resulting in a battle that ended with Charlie blowing the horn, reversing the evil spell. Red (who had already been weakened by the battle) was ultimately sucked back into Netherworld. Before vanishing, however, Red drags Carface down, as this was part of their deal.
Abilities[]
Telepathic Constriction: Red has the ability to control the collars put onto dogs who are enslaved to him. By bringing his index and thumb claws close to each other with emit a red spark, causing the collar to constrict on a dog who does something Red prevents.
Shapeshifting: Red can take the form of three forms, his dog form being that of a St. Bernard, his normal demon form with a blue robe, and his monster form at around 60ft tall with red eyes.

Trivia[]
- Red's pupils disappear occasionally during the film.
- In his disguise, Red is one of only two animal characters in the All Dogs Go to Heaven franchise to wear shoes. All the other animals are barefoot, with Chief in the TV series' episode "Charlie's Angle" as an exception.
- His red demon-like form is similar to Jafar's red genie form from Disney's Aladdin. They also share the same Finnish and German voice actors, Jarkko Rantanen and Joachim Kemmer, respectively.
- Though standing in as the All Dogs' satanic equivalent, Red isn't exactly Satan himself, as "his boss" is loosely referenced after his defeat, implying he may be a pet or otherwise a servant.
- He is the only All Dogs Go to Heaven villain to have a stereotypical villain personality. The other villains, 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, in the sense that both are green-eyed cat-based villains who have devilish powers and selfish needs. They also share the same Japanese and Spanish voice actor, Jō Haruhiko/壤晴彦 and Jordi Doncos, respectively.
