"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.

Little Little Wolves (1936)*** (out of 4) The third film in Disney's series follows THREE LITTLE PIGS and THE BIG BAD WOLF. This time out the wolf is teaching his three children the portions of a pig to eat. While this is going on the two lazy pigs are playing pranks by blowing the emergency alarm, which means there's a wolf in the camp. Finally the two pigs venture off and really are captured by the wolf who plans on eating them with his kids. This third film mixes the Three Little Pigs tale with that of The Boy Who Cried Wolf and the end results are another winner for Disney. With that said, I must admit that by this time I was really cheering for the wolf to win because those two darn lazy pigs are just rather annoying considering they still haven't learned their lesson. With that said, as you'd expect the animation is very good and there are plenty of laughs scattered throughout the running time. The highlight comes towards the end when the wolf shows how hard he can blow the horn and what follows is very funny.

Perhaps a little too hectic in pace, but hugely enjoyable nonetheless. It is very funny, from the Wolf disguising himself as Little Bo Beep to trap Fifer and Fiddler as he did when he disguised himself as a mermaid in The Practical Pig, to "The Wolf Pacifier", to the juicy dialogue. The three little wolves are cute as well as ravenous just like their father, but cuter. The animation is excellent, fluid and colourful as I like it, and the music is suitably rousing. Also well done is the voice acting of Billy Bletcher and Pinto Colvig, both do stellar jobs as always.Overall, hugely enjoyable and highly recommended. Perfect to go with Three Little Pigs, The Big Bad Wolf and The Practical Pig, which are all very entertaining. 9/10 Bethany Cox

A Walt Disney SILLY SYMPHONY Cartoon Short.The Big Bad Wolf returns to the forest, this time with his sons, the THREE LITTLE WOLVES. Fortunately for them, Fifer & Fiddler Pigs are as gullible & silly as ever...A follow-up to THE BIG BAD WOLF (1934) and THE THREE LITTLE PIGS' second sequel, this is a very pleasant cartoon with lots of good imagination at work. The 'Wolf Pacifier' is fascinating & must have warmed the heart of Rube Goldberg himself. Followed by the non-Symphony THE PRACTICAL PIG (1939).The SILLY SYMPHONIES, which Walt Disney produced for a ten year period beginning in 1929, are among the most fascinating of all animated series. Unlike the Mickey Mouse cartoons in which action was paramount, with the Symphonies the action was made to fit the music. There was little plot in the early Symphonies, which featured lively inanimate objects and anthropomorphic plants & animals, all moving frantically to the soundtrack. Gradually, however, the Symphonies became the school where Walt's animators learned to work with color and began to experiment with plot, characterization & photographic special effects. The pages of Fable & Fairy Tale, Myth & Mother Goose were all mined to provide story lines and even Hollywood's musicals & celebrities were effectively spoofed. It was from this rich soil that Disney's feature-length animation was to spring. In 1939, with SNOW WHITE successfully behind him and PINOCCHIO & FANTASIA on the near horizon, Walt phased out the SILLY SYMPHONIES; they had run their course & served their purpose.
