"The Big Bad Wolf" is Disney's sequel to the Academy Award winning short film "Three Little Pigs" from one years earlier. Feel free to check out my review for that one as well. Anyway, this one here did not manage to repeat that honor and this does not come as a surprise to me. I felt that "The Big Bad Wolf" does not have exactly much wit, creativity or great humour like the previous one. The 2 careless pigs are in the forest and this time they do not only get themselves in danger, but also little Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother. Third pig to the rescue in the end. They made this a good watch for children by not including graphic violence really. For example, the Granny does not get eaten in this one by the wolf, but hides in the closet. All in all, these 9 minutes were only an acceptable movie for 1934. It hasn't aged as well as many other cartoons from around that era. Not recommended. The story was just too weak. Quite a pity with the voice cast being almost exclusively names we consider legends today in terms of voice acting from 80 years ago. Funny snippet to end the review: The two useless pigs were both voiced by females.

The Big Bad Wolf (1934) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Sequel to THREE LITTLE PIGS isn't quite as good but this is certainly still a charmer. The hard working pig is building a bigger brick house while the two lazier ones just play around. Little Red Riding Hood stops by to ask for directions and she decides to take the short cut through the woods even though she was warned. We all know what happens next. This is certainly a charming little gem from Disney who certainly knew how to handle these subjects without any problem. I thought the way the two stories were combined were quite clever and this was especially true during the introduction scene where we see that the two lazy pigs didn't learn their lesson. The animation is certainly some of the best that you're going to see from this period and I will also add that popcorn has never had a better impact in any film than it does right here.

(Possible spoiler) This is the sequel to the Walt Disney Silly Symphony "The Three Little Pigs" and is pretty good,well drawn,good story line.and amusing.When the wolf is in the bed and red riding hood says "oh grandma,what a big nose you have" the Wolfs nose resembles Jimmy Durante and he says "the better to ha-cha cha cha cha" Classic.

This is a Disney retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood story. It is a sequel to the famous Three Little Pigs short they made a year earlier (Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?). In it, Little Red Riding Hood is trying to get to her grandmother's house, and the two irresponsible little pigs offer to walk her through the woods, although their older brother, the practical pig, warns them to go the long route to avoid the wolf. The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf would appear in two more sequels, The Three Little Wolves and The Practical Pig, which are quite better than this one. 7/10.
