Le grand méchant loup

This film is a follow-up to Disney's enormously successful short "The Three Little Pigs". Since the film won the Oscar and was adored by audiences, it's not at all surprising that the company would bring back these characters.

The plot of "The Big Bad Wolf" is an odd mash-up--mixing the story of "Little Red Riding Hood" with "The Three Little Pigs". When the film begins, Red is on her way to Grandma's house and she stops by to see her friends the Pigs. Unfortunately, the two dumb pigs from the previous film are STILL very stupid and they advise Red to take the shortcut through the dangerous forest. They vow to protect Red in case the Wolf shows--and when he does, they are no help whatsoever. So, it's up to the industrious brother to come to their rescue--with predictable results.

While the film clearly lacks the originality and charm of the first film, it is a worthy follow-up and worth seeing.

Sequel to Disney's Academy Award-winning Three Little Pigs short. The story this time brings Little Red Riding Hood into the mix as two of the three pigs escort her to her grandma's house. They ignore the third pig's warnings about avoiding the woods and run into you-know-who along the way. Of course, things get crazy. The animation is vibrant with gorgeous colors and nicely-drawn characters and backgrounds. The voice work is great. The music is cheerful and upbeat. The famous song from the first cartoon, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?," is also included in this one. It's a good cartoon but not as much fun as the Three Little Pigs. The wolf in drag as Goldilocks the Fairy Queen is certainly a sight to see.

You might want to have a bag of popcorn ready when you watch this animated classic. Red Riding Hood is off to see her sick grandmother then run across the Three Little Pigs. Straw and Wood Pigs walks in the woods with Riding Hood as Bricklayer Pig continues building his brick house. Riding Hood and the two pigs encounters the Big Bad Wolf in the forest which scares the two pigs back home where the 3rd pig is still working. Brick Pig knows something is wrong and goes to find Riding Hood. Riding Hood ends up at grandma's house where the Wolf has already entered. As the story goes the Wolf goes after Red Riding Hood only to have Brick Pig enter, adds popcorn and hot coals to his pants and ultimately saves Riding Hood. The Wolf is not very happy as the popcorn pops in his pants.

Cute short - good for giggles.

7/10.

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.

This is a sequel to the Silly Symphony short, The Three Little Pigs, bringing back the three animals and the notorious Big Bad Wolf for some more forest fun and thrills. This time, the wolf is out to get Little Red Riding Hood, who is out visiting her Granny. Therefore, the Three Little Pigs try to intervene to save the day.

Great merger of the two stories into one cartoon and great music that is nostalgic of the first Three Little Pigs cartoon, especially a nice reprise of "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf," sung to some very serene violin sounds.

Lots of laughs and fun. Great, entertaining one for the family.
