Three Little Pigs Trailers

The two pigs building houses of hay and sticks scoff at their brother, building the brick house. But when the wolf comes around and blows their houses down (after trickery like dressing as a foundling sheep fails), they run to their brother's house. And throughout, they sing the classic song, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?".

This should be the lesson to the two foolish pigs who were constantly singing and joking around instead of working like their brother. His dedication saved everybody in the end in this Academy Award winning 8-minute cartoon from over 80 years ago. Of course, it's done by Walt Disney and Pinto Colvig and Billy Bletcher are voice acting legends from the first half of the 20th century. This is a fairly famous short film from the old days, maybe also because the wolf is so wonderfully scary. Admittedly, I did not find his costume fake tactics too interesting, but when he started to huff and puff, my eyes were glued to the screen. And back on the pigs, their family photos at the smart pig's wall were really epic. Oh by the way, there are a handful sequels to this short film out there. Check them out if you enjoyed this original. "Three Little Pigs" is a decent watch. Not among Disney's very best, but still recommended.

Three Little Pigs (1933)**** (out of 4)Disney's adaptation of the Grimm fairly tale is certainly one of the highlights of their early animated films. The story is pretty simple as three pigs are building a house. The two who builds it out of straw and sticks are free to play around more but the one building with brick has to work even harder. The two lazy pigs think it's quite funny until a wolf shows up and their lack of work comes back to haunt them.THREE LITTLE PIGS is certainly one of the best animated shorts from this era of Disney and it's amazing when you think of the fact that when people think of the story, their ideas come from this short and not the Grimm tale. That says quite a bit because the story itself was quite popular before this short but ever since it was released people think of this short when the idea of three little pigs come along. The animation is as great as you'd expect and there's no question that there's a certain flow in the story that just makes it irresistible. Fans of Disney and animation will certainly love and remember this one.

Well I sure-as-sugar thought it was!!! Three ugly annoying pigs constantly showing off their gross pink little pig fannies,(butts) are menaced by a wolf who at least had the decency to wear pants! I just thought this whole rotten excuse for a silly symphony was stupid and babyish, especially when the pigs prance around like little idiots and sing "who's afraid..." I know in a way all the Disney shorts are for children, but I really found myself hating this one. I found the pigs to be so irritating that I was rooting for the freaking wolf! I thought he was a good baddie. Those great big teeth he has and that bogeyman outfit he wears mark him as "evil". It would have been a pleasure to see him catch the little blighters and "wolf"(ha-ha) them down in great bloody chunks! And the bit where the wolf disguises himself as a negative Jewish stereotype-whoa, that is just TERRIBLE that's REALLY gonna bring about the fall of mankind that is(!) If, like me, anyone's watched this rubbish cartoon and not enjoyed it whatsoever, I would suggest you go and watch the final episode of Tales from the Crypt:The Third Pig. It will ease the pain. Ridiculously overrated, I must say. For me it ties with Terrible Toreador as the worst silly symphony that I've seen, it sure sent me squealing all the way home...

I remember as a kid reading and flipping thru the pages of the classic storybook "Three Little Pigs". I highly enjoyed it as it taught good moral lessons of hard work, courage, and to be prepared and ready when danger strikes always be alert! I as a kid was even afraid of the big bad wolf! So it was a real treat when I just recently watched the 8 minute Disney short. It's one of Disney's best animated classics. It moves along beautifully by the sounds and singing of the three pigs saying "Who's Afraid of the big bad wolf"? And remember I'll huff and puff and blow down your house! Anyway the wicked wolf begins his journey thru the wooded landscape towards the pigs dwellings. And the first two pigs who are both laid back and take things as a joke clearly are not concerned with the wolf and both put up their new homes. One made of straw the other of sticks, yet after the wolf huffs and puffs and blows down their houses, the two seek shelter and protection with their brother the third pig and this serious and hard working swine very wisely made his home of bricks! So no matter how much huffing and puffing this house will not be blown down.Overall this is one great memorable classic a Disney favorite it teaches the morals that can be applied in life like being clever, and smart plus with a little hard work one will be protected as you will not fall prey to the evil traps and destruction of your shelter! "Three Little Pigs" is an entertaining classic and educational for the lessons it teaches.
