A sequel to 1933's "The Three Little Pigs."
The Three Little Pigs
team up with Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother in defeating the Big Bad
Wolf. In spite of the Practical Pig's warning about the wolf, Fiddler Pig
and Fifer Pig convince Red Riding Hood to take the shortcut to Grandma's
house. They barely escape the Big Bad Wolf. The wolf runs ahed to Grandma's
house, but is unable to capture Grandma, who hides in a wardrobe closet.
The Practical Pig is able to defeat the wolf by shoving coals and popcorn
down the wolf's pants. Although it doesn't have the appeal or success of
the original Three Little Pigs cartoon, I liked including the pigs in the
Red Riding Hood story. I noticed a couple of interesting animation goofs.
Fiddler and Fifer Pig and Red Riding Hood disappear while they are skipping
down the shortcut path. Also the appearance of the wardrobe closet door changes
from not having a latch to later having a latch.
I find this to be the weakest
of the Three Little Pigs cartoons. The Red Riding Hood story is alright,
but it's been done. Practical's method of dispatching with the wolf (putting
hot coals and popcorn in his pants) is worth a few laughs but I don't think
it has the imagination of the Wolf Pacifier in the next cartoon,
"Three Little Wolves."
One of the best Disney shorts.
Although I wasn't born then, but I have Disney treasures, and it's really
neat. It is a great way, to put the classic tale of the three little pigs
and the big bad wolf, into a funny, Disney short.
The pigs make me laugh, and the wolf is so sneaky, he is just waiting to
get hit by them apples!
One of the Disney classics, which no body, should miss out on. I'm saying!
This is the second cartoon in
the series of "Three Little Pigs" shorts. It's a fairy tale crossover, inserting
Little Red Riding Hood into the story. While not one of my favorite cartoons,
I do enjoy the animation and the background art.
Disney's first sequel. Undoubtly
made to satisfy the masses who, after the huge succes of
"Three Little Pigs",
demanded for 'more pigs'. As one can expect It's not as great as
"Three Little Pigs", but it's fun to watch. The title card shows the main characters as
if they were playing their parts. The cartoon, however, is named after the
wolf, and deservedly so, because he's clearly the greatest actor. He not
only impersonates grandma, but also "Goldilocks the fairyqueen" in a ridiculous
and aimless costume, and even Jimmy Durante! Furthermore, he alone shows
to be aware of the audience: he often looks into the camera, and even addresses
the audience with a "how am I doing?".
"The Big Bad Wolf" might be the first "fairy -tales mixed up" cartoon. It
may very well have inspired Tex Avery to make similar, yet more hilarious
cartoons like 'The Bear's Tale' (1940) and 'Swing Shift Cinderella' (1945),
both starring Little Red Riding Hood.
It's easy to see why they named this short after
the Wolf- he totally steals the show! We also get him cross-dressing, which is hilarious and somewhat
disturbing when you consider that he does it a lot in later cartoons. Good short all around.
This is a great cartoon, the music was superb
and I enjoyed the scene where the wolf immatates Jimmy Durante. I Wonder who did the voices for Red
and her Grandma? I also noticed that one of the pigs was was dressed like Donald Duck and the other was
dressed like a sailor!
