Little Red Riding Hood, also called Lil' Red, is a local girl who is sometimes spotted at different moments. She is seen throughout the Shrek franchise with altering appearances.

Appearances[]

Shrek 2[]

Little Red Riding Hood is shown at the beginning of Shrek 2, coming to the gingerbread house (from "Hansel and Gretel") and running away screaming- and as a result, leaving her basket behind after seeing Shrek and Fiona.

Shrek the Third[]

In Shrek the Third, Little Red Riding Hood was seen drinking milk in the Poison Apple, and later being seen pick pocketing a dwarf's pockets while cloaked in a red hood. She had initially teamed up with Charming's forces, but is largely incognito through the rest of the film.

Swamp Talk[]

While not making a physical appearance, she was mentioned in several episodes. Most notably in "Big Bad Wolf Retires" and "Celebrity Fairytale Couples". The former has a code red being named after her; it is used to inform little girls to stay at their homes when wolves are on the loose. The latter reveals that Robin Hood had been spotted giving her some money he stole from the rich.

Video Game Appearances[]

Shrek Extra Large[]

Little Red's candy is stolen by the Merrymen and asks Shrek to get her basket back. Unlike her other appearances, she has a much older look, more reminiscent of a young wench.

Shrek 2 (video game)[]

Little Red (now renamed Lil' Red) appears in Shrek 2 as a playable character. She's voiced by Tara Strong, and is portrayed as a sassy, altruistic, jolly, and intelligent softball pitcher. She is playable in Spooky Forest, Far Far Away, Ogre Killer, Fairy Godmother's and Prison Break, as well as the bonus game, Ring Coliseum. Her special ability has her throw a rotten apple, which then explodes.

Lil' Red first appears in Shrek's Swamp, where she asks Shrek, Donkey, Fiona and Gingerbread Man to throw chickens into the pot of soup she's making at Shrek's House. After the group helps her make the soup, she meets them at her Grandma's house. After Fiona gathers the blackbirds for Grandma's blackbird pie, Lil' Red decides to tag along with Shrek, Fiona and Donkey on their trip to Far Far Away- citing a softball game she has to attend there. During the travel, she helps Shrek, Fiona and Donkey guide The Three Blind Mice through the Spooky Forest, using her apples to ring bells and protect the mice from nearby rats.

Once the group arrives in Far Far Away, Lil' Red works with Shrek, Donkey and Fiona to complete various odd jobs for King Harold. She is largely uninvolved with the three afterwards, but eventually reunites with Shrek and Donkey when they head to the forest. The three, along with Gingy, encounter Puss in Boots for the first time. In an act of defense, the four defeat the cat before he decides to join them. The group then set off to the Potion Factory, where Lil' Red departs once they arrive because she has an appointment with the Fairy Godmother.

Lil' Red eventually returns to the party, having obtained her potion. After Shrek bitterly admits that "Ogres don't live happily ever after" and Donkey gives him the idea to go in and take a potion, Lil' Red points out that she knows where the potions are and instructs the group to follow her. While in the Factory, the group runs into the Fairy Godmother, at which point Lil' Red gets into a battle with her in order to allow the rest of the group to escape- leading into her Hero Time of the game. After the Godmother is incapacitated, Lil' Red meets up with Shrek, Donkey and Puss once again and helps them steal the Happily Ever After Potion.

Once the trio finish their heist, Lil' Red once again disappears. However, she spreads the word about their arrest in Far Far Away to the Fairy Tale Creatures back at the swamp. She then teams up with Gingy, Big Bad Wolf and Fairy in order to free Shrek, Donkey and Puss from the Far Far Away Prison. She vanishes from the story afterwards and doesn't appear in the ending.

Shrek Super Slam[]

Lil' Red appears as one of the 10 starting characters in Shrek Super Slam. She is referred to as "Red Riding Hood" in the game, and has a different appearance from her Shrek 2 video game counterpart. Her Super Slam has her summon a cyclone from her picnic basket, which slams any opponent that gets sucked in.

Shrek Smash and Crash Racing[]

Lil' Red also appears as a playable racer in Shrek Smash and Crash Racing. She is still called "Red Riding Hood" like Super Slam, but her appearance is the same as in Shrek 2. Her kart is the Big Bad Wolf, and her personal item is a picnic basket.

Shrek Forever After[]

Lil' Red makes a minor appearance in the Shrek Forever After video game. In the alternate timeline created by Rumplestiltskin, she has become a timid and fearful girl who is too afraid to leave her house. She asks Shrek, Donkey, Fiona and Puss to scare away the frogs surrounding her home.
