The wolf is either being interrogated or is on trial. He is portraying himself as the victim & pleading for release. The key line is his pleading "I'll go straight." When released he again says "I'll go straight.......straight to grandma's house." It's probably from the 50's or early 60's.

Could be Red Hot Riding Hood, where the character Red was the prototype for Jessica Rabbit! Even if it’s not the one you want, check it out. You can find a listing for it on Toonopedia, and probably also for the one you had in mind, of it’s different. Enjoy

Hello everyone,
I am also looking for this cartoon desperately and I will try to provide as many details as I can:

First and foremost, IT IS NOT "The Trial of Mr. Wolf" as suggested by some. Now I'll try to give some background.
When I was a kid in the beginning of the eighties we had a VHS tape which, I believe, was recorded by my mother from the only TV channel at the time. Back then, I did not understand a word of English and all the cartoons were not dubbed or subtitled in my language so please forgive me if I'll make a few errors in my description.
I must have watched that tape hundreds of times... There was an episode of "The Mighty Heroes", IIRC it was "The Toy Man" and at least two episodes of "Fraidy Cat" ("Feline Fortune" and "Lollipop Burglar"), so judging by these I assume the Red Riding Hood cartoon is from around 1960-1980 but it might be older, as the OP suggests (I believe it was in color).
Here is how I remember it (again, probably with many inaccuracies and missing parts):

It starts with a shot of a city and in the background you can hear police sirens and something to the extant of "calling all cars, calling all cars, reporting a disturbance in grandma's house". Then you see a brick building which I assume is the police station, and then inside the building you see the wolf being interrogated by two policemen which are actually tall pigs in police uniforms. At the beginning the wolf acts tough but when one of the cops brings something that looks like a glass medicine bottle, pours a gooey substance from it to a spoon and threatens to feed it to the wolf, he surrenders and cooperates (I vividly remember him saying the words "I'll talk! I'll talk!").
As he begins to tell his side of the story, you see him walking, skipping and singing merrily in the forest, happy, innocent and care free (I remember the words "a tra la la la la, I'm happy as can be" from his song). Some time later he stumbles upon little red riding hood carrying a picnic basket on her way to visit her grandmother. Riding hood is a teenager, promiscuous and provocative, and after a little chat with the wolf she strips naked (much to the embarrassment of the wolf who covers his eyes, but peeks through the fingers), and goes skinny dipping in the lake, abandoning the picnic basket (I remember the words "so long Wolfie-Wolfie").
The wolf dresses in her clothes, takes the basket and heads to grandma's house. Once there, he sees grandma lying (sick?) in bed and pretending to be LRRH, the wolf talks to her ("Oh grandma, what big eyes you have" etc...) but at some point, either grandma discovers he is not LRRH, or he does something to enrage her, because she then starts to attack him... With the precision of a ninja, she rains blow after blow on the dazed wolf as well as hitting him with a rolling pin, throwing knives and other objects at him and bashing him against the wall, we then return to the interrogation room with wolf telling the cops, while sobbing uncontrollably, how grandma mercilessly tortured him. Hearing this, the cops cannot contain their own tears. They ask the wolf: "if we set you free, you promise to go straight?" To which the wolf replies: "oh I'll go straight... I'll go straight... straight to grandma's house!" And with that he runs from the room (possibly creating a wolf shaped hole in the wall) and as the shot goes to the city with police sirens sounds in the background, the cartoon ends.

As I said, I am desperately looking for this cartoon and will appreciate any suggestion as to how to identify it.

Thanks in advance,
Ze'ev

I, too, want to find this one in the worst way. I remember the last line the wolf tells the police, "I'll go straight. Straight back to grandmas house!"

I wonder if it is "The Trial of Mr Wolf".

However, it comes from 1941 (Warner brothers)

Sounds like something Warner Brothers did, one of the Looney Tunes cartoons. Sorry, don't know the name.
