When Little Red Riding Hood and the pigs reach the house, the wolf tries to eat them, but fortunately she finds refuge in a closet long enough for the other pigs to fetch their brother Practical Pig who rescues her.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Red made a cameo around the end of the film with other toons.

House of Mouse
Red was seen in the episode "Big Bad Wolf Daddy". When the wolf is introduced to perform, she quickly demands her check in fear.

Once Upon a Time
Red Riding Hood, better known as Red, is a recurring character on Once Upon a Time. She is played by Meghan Ory, and is the fairytale counterpart of Ruby.

Red Riding Hood is the sole living relative of Widow Lucas. If she fails to wear her red cloak every full moon, she will turn into a terrible, bloodthirsty wolf. Red Riding Hood had once lived in a poor village that was terrorized every wolfstime, or full moon, by a large and malevolent wolf. She often dreamed of running away with her true love, a blacksmith's son by the name of Peter.

During the third night of wolfstime, she is visited at her window by Peter. After a short conversation and a kiss, she is called by her grandmother, Widow Lucas, and leaves. Mayor Tomkins, the leader of the village, is in the front of the house, asking for help for a hunting party meant to kill the wolf. Widow Lucas, called Granny by Red, refuses and calls them fools. Red helps her lock down the house. On her way to her room, Granny reminds her to wear her cloak.

The next morning, Granny tells her to check on the chickens to make sure the wolf didn't hurt any of them. As Red collects the eggs and prepares to leave, she notices one nest empty. Suddenly, a girl runs out and confesses to stealing a few eggs for herself. When asked, she introduces herself as Frosty, then Margaret, then finally settles on Mary. However, the girl is actually Snow White after the Huntsman spared her life.

Red invites her to stay with them until she can find a place to settle down, and they go to the well to fetch some water. As Red is hauling it up, she marvels at the red color of the water. When she asks for Mary's opinion, Mary is unresponsive. As a result, Red turns around and stares, horrified, at the mangled corpses of the hunting party.

When they return, they discover that Mayor Tomkins has called a town meeting. Tomkins expresses regret at the village's loss and demands for an even larger hunting party so that they could forever end the massacre of people and livestock. However, Granny protests, and tells the villagers about her own experience with a former wolf that had once preyed upon the village.

That night, in Red's bedroom, Snow mentions how the wolf was keeping her from leaving the town with Peter. Red realizes that she's right, and presents the idea of killing the wolf. Snow thinks it is crazy, but Red persuades her to help her look for the wolf.

The next day, they set out to hunt the wolf down and kill it in its sleep. They eventually find the wolf's tracks, only to have them lead back to Red's house. They come to the conclusion that Peter is the wolf. Red presents her theory to him, and Peter agrees that they should tie him up in chains.

However, that night as the full moon shows itself, it is Red, not Peter, who shifts into a wolf, with no sense of her human self. Peter tries to calm her, to make her recognize him, all to no use. The wolf growls and lunges at him. While it is eating Peter's remains, Granny and Snow arrives, and Granny shoots the wolf with a silver-tipped crossbolt.

Snow lays the magical red cloak over her - for it was the cloak that kept Red from being affected by the genetically-inherited lycanthropy at wolfstime - and the wolf turns back into Red. Red is disoriented at first, but then she realizes that she was the wolf, and responsible for Peter's death. Suddenly, the torches of a mob appear on the other side of the clearing, and Granny tells them to leave. Snow leads a devastated Red away, with Granny left to fend for herself.

Many weeks after, Red brings Snow White food once a month while she is hiding in the Enchanted Forest from the Evil Queen's forces. She keeps Snow White up-to-date in all of the fairytale world's current events, including Prince James' wedding to Abigail.

Snow White is very upset at this and asks for some magical cure to heal her broken heart. Red is quiet, which alerts Snow to the fact that she knows something. After some prodding, Red tells Snow White about Rumpelstiltskin, a man who has great powers who might be able to help her take away the pain of yearning for Prince James.

The next day, after Snow leaves to go after her love, Red comes across Prince James as he was searching for her. She told him that Snow had gone to the castle because she loved him. Upon meeting James's confusion, she says to him that Snow really does love him and has been intending to tell him so, unless something has changed her mind. Just then, King George's men come in an attempt to kill James. She and the prince escape together.

Later they are seen making camp when the king's men catch up to them. She tells James to run and when he asks how she can hold them off she looks up at the full moon. James leaves and Red takes off her cloak. Her eyes turn gold and she runs towards the approaching soldiers. She changes into her wolf form and when the scene changes you hear a distant howling.

Later on Red was reunited with her grandmother and was with Snow White and the seven dwarves trying to find a way to get into King George's castle and defeat the Evil Queen and save Prince Charming. After they take over the castle, Red begs Snow to not meet with the queen because she doesn't trust her, however Snow goes anyway. When she leaves, Red she doesn't trust that queen one bit. Later she and the rest of the group find a fallen Snow White. She takes a dagger and puts it to Snow's face. Shes sees that she has no breath.

Many months later, Red was present with her grandmother when Prince James sought advice on how to defeat the Evil Queen's Dark Curse.

Ruby is a recurring character on Once Upon a Time. She is played by guest star Meghan Ory, and is the Storybrooke counterpart of Red Riding Hood.

Ruby is a rebellious young woman who lives in the town of Storybrooke, Maine. Her grandmother owns Granny's Bed and Breakfast, a bed and breakfast nook, and Granny's Diner, where she works. Prior to meeting Emma Swan, Ruby was a rebellious young woman who had plans to get out of Storybrooke and move to Boston. However, these plans were halted by her grandmother's sudden heart attack, and Ruby had been working at Granny's Diner to make ends meet ever since. Ruby is first introduced in the Pilot episode, when she and her grandmother are arguing over something. They see Emma and fall silent. After Mr. Gold collects the rent and Emma inquires about him, Ruby says that he owns Storybrooke.

The next day, at her shift at Granny's Diner, she brings Emma a cup of hot chocolate and tells her that someone bought it for her and Emma turns around, sees Sheriff Graham, and instantly assumes it's him. Ruby is often seen working around in the diner scenes, particularly in The Price of Gold, when Emma confronts her in hopes of discovering the location of the missing Ashley Boyd.

Ruby, however, is fiercely protective of her friend, and distracts Emma by directing her to Ashley's ex-boyfriend Sean Herman's house, claiming that he would know where she is. This was actually a ploy to get buy more time for Ashley, as Ruby let her use her car to escape to Boston.

Later, when Henry Mills and Archie Hopper are trapped in an abandoned old mine, Ruby is one of the townspeople who helps out with the rescue effort.Throughout the rescue scenes, Ruby is seen flirting with Billy in front of his tow truck.

Ruby proves to be very helpful when David Nolan starts acting strange and goes missing, but Ruby is able to locate him. In this way, Ruby proves her talent of finding lost things.

Later, Ruby gets into a fight her grandmother and storms off. She can't find a job anywhere, but after Emma sees her helping a townsfolk over the phone in the sherriff's office, Emma enlists Ruby to work as her assistant. One on the tasks she asks of Ruby is to go to the Toll Bridge, since that was where David was found after he woke up from his coma and escaped the hosptial, to see if she can find anything. She ends up finding a box which contains a human heart. Ruby then quits working for Emma and goes back to the diner. She and Granny reconcile, and Granny explains that she merely wants Ruby to take over the business when she retires.

At the near end of Stable Boy, Emma and August hear a scream in town. They find a shaken up and frightened Ruby, who can only muster to tell them, "She's in the alley." As Emma goes to investigate, she discovers what Ruby saw--a very much alive and breathing Kathryn--lying in the alley wearing the same outfit she was last seen in; but now very dirty.

Ruby was walking with her grandmother when Emma broke the curse with true love's kiss, presumably returning her memories of her true identity.
