This is the second sequel to the Silly Symphony short, The Three Little Pigs, bringing back the three animals and the notorious Big Bad Wolf for even more forest fun and thrills. This time, the wolf, joined by his three children, the Three Little Wolves, are out to get the two carefree pigs for dinner, who seem to have learned nothing from their past encounters with the predator. There are a good share of thrills and excitement in this one, especially in the part where the wolves capture the two devil-may-care pigs and places them on a dinner dish. And, the pigs' brother, the Practical Pig, using his wolf-proof invention on the Big Bad Wolf yielded some hilarious, laugh-out-loud results. It's also very nice to hear a reprise of the song, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf."Lots of laughs and fun. Great, entertaining one for the family.Grade A

. . . more of an inspiration to Hitler's depraved Fascist Third Reich Quack "Medical Experimentation" Fiendish Human-Victim Torture Program than any other animated short, foreign OR domestic. Consider these historical facts: Walt Disney wore a Hitler Mustache his entire adult life; was prone to hysterical Scape-Goating Rants when things did not go his way; this latter propensity resulted in "Adolf" being one of the most frequent epithets muttered in the Disney Studios when Der Boss seemed out of earshot. Though it has not yet been definitely proved whether or not Walt hung any tardy office boys with piano wire, what IS known is that paying-through-the-nose "guests" were required to buy and munch bacon strips to gain entrance during the first decade "Disneyland" was open in order to keep "the wrong element" from offending Walt's eyes. During THREE LITTLE WOLVES, the insidious Disney Fifth Columnists depict these lupine miscreants as fake citizens of Der Farterland, emitting pidgin German from their Anti-Semitic caricatured snouts. Adding insult to injury, Disney portrays these "Chosen" Predators as great big hypocrites, Hell-Bent upon eating Pork!! The wolves symbolically circumcise the Fife and Fiddler pigs after luring them into their lair. The "Practical Pig," in turn, "experiments" upon the long-nosed "Big Bad Wolf" in a manner that would do Dr. Josef Mengele proud!

"Three Little Wolves" is a Walt Disney cartoon from almost 80 years ago and the third installment in the original pigs vs wolf franchise. The first one was good and won an Oscar, the second was only pretty mediocre, but this one here is improved again, but that is not exactly thanks to the three little wolves, who could have been more interesting in my opinion. The jokes are simply funnier, smart wig as a tomato vendor with mustache is hilarious, the wolf pacifier is nice as well. And the music is good in this one too. It's also more interesting as Disney already became political in this one with the evil wolf singing in German as a metaphor of the great danger that comes from the Central European country and they were right. And even if the wolf obviously fails in the end, he came really close with 2 of the pigs already having apples in their mouths. Good little cartoon. Thumbs up and I recommend it.

Big "Bad" Wolf, now speaking with a German accent for some reason, takes his kids out to hunt, opting to finally finish off the three little pigs while they still frolic campily. The sensible pig is even building an elaborate torture device to protect them from Wolfie. His brothers have been crying wolf as a joke and doesn't take them seriously when he turns up in actual sheep's clothing.Again, as much as I'd like to see those little pigs get shoved in the oven and Wolfie and kids finally be fed it doesn't happen. The sensible wolf brings his torture device and gives 1930s cartoon-going kids the pleasure of seeing an animal go through excruciating pain just for being what he is.A disturbing metaphor if there ever was one.
