Three Little Pigs (1933)

"I toot my flute and I don't give an hoot" - well that's the attitude of the first piggy who builds his house of hay. The second "plays on his fiddle and doesn't give a diddle" as he builds his rather drafty looking dwelling from sticks. Finally, the third finds "work and play don't mix" as he builds his home of bricks. A musical rendition of "Whose Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" perhaps tempts providence though and when their salivating predator does arrive, he huffs and puffs and.... well you know the story. I did like this animation, the wolf has a degree of (comedic) menace as he pursues the pigs using a range of disguises and his considerable wind-power before he ends up turning a bit blue! It's nicely scored, colourful and quickly paced and even if I did rather want the wolf to save us from their singing...
