The Big Bad Wolf

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.

Grade A

Grew up with this story as a kid from the reading and being told the storybook as it's one of my favorites even though it's not as good as "The Three Little Pigs" still it entertains and is fun as it's a tale of caution as it means to be safe don't fall prey to strangers or their tricks! Moved along well by animation(very colorful for 1934) and the singing is a silly thing still it involves "The Three Little Pigs" who meet young "Little Red Riding Hood" in the woods and she's off to grandmother's house only after being advised from the serious smart bricklayer pig not to take the shortcut thru the woods she does anyway! Now you guessed it the "Big Bad Wolf" is hot on her trail as he even makes it inside granny's house and appears to be her! Never fear three pigs to the rescue! Overall well done classic tale that's long in memory as it stuck with me for it's message and sentimental feel.

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.

I love Three Little Pigs, it is a childhood favourite with an irresistibly catchy title song. The Big Bad Wolf is a solid if slightly inferior sequel to Three Little Pigs. Compared to Three Little Pigs, it isn't exactly funny and not much happens until the Wolf gets to the grandmother's cottage. Also while Little Red Riding Hood is cute as a button and like a doll in appearance, I did notice her mouth was too stiff and puckered up at times. That said though, the animation was great, and the irresistibly catchy title theme is back and not irritating surprisingly. The Three Pigs are entertaining and The Wolf delights as the "villain of the piece". Also impressive are the vocal talents, the standout being Billy Bletcher as the Wolf. Overall, very good. 8/10 Bethany Cox

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.
