i love disney's three little pigs they appear several times
and whenever they're in a cartoon i absolutely adore them and it's quite disheartening with the
practical pig which was great but it's quite disheartening because it wasn't initially
released as a silly symphony cartoon it wasn't meant to be part of the silly symphony series
and apparently the general consensus there is that it's because they were maybe considering doing
an entire series based on the three little pigs in the big bad wolf and we know there
are quite a few of these cartoons but this is apparently the fourth one
and the fourth and last one is the fourth one and that's a shame i wish they'd you know i wish
they'd be able to kickstart that three little pigs series but nevertheless this is really enjoyable
well be it a little bit intense it's definitely the darkest of the four
and that's including the propaganda nazi one that they did so i'm going to try and not spoil it by
telling you the intricacies but hopefully i can wet your appetite enough just by saying
it gets quite intense and quite scary and i didn't know what was going to happen to at least
two of the little pigs so it was released in 1939 directed by dick ricard and we have um our usual
brilliant voice cast including uh pendle kolvig and billy bletcher and of course we have practical
fiverr and fiddler pig are three little pigs and um the big bad wolf and in this one practical pig
is working on this lie detector that he can use um to help capture the wolf his two little brothers
um think that this is absolutely ridiculous they decide to go swimming even though practical pigs
said don't go swimming the big bad wolf is around the two other little pigs fiverr and
fiddler um do you not care they legal swimming needless to say the big bad wolf appears as a
mermaid and captures the pigs will practical pig be able to free them or will the big bad wolf eat
them now since this is the fourth cartoon i'm not going you know it it could have gone either
way um i won't say which way it goes but i will say it when he caught the pigs i kind of held
my breath a bit because it's rare that he gets that close to the pigs so early into a cartoon
excuse me while i pause my phone ringing um he it's rare that he gets that close to the pigs
at least that early on into a cartoon so i was kind of like this is
this is much darker and much scarier than they usually go with including the nazi one
and i kind of really really thoroughly enjoy that aspect it made it a little bit more heightened and
a little bit more interesting and i love practical pig i'd like to think practical k prac practical
pig is a bit of my spirit animal he's brilliant fiddler and fiverr are cute they're fun but i love
practical pig obviously they have various versions of who's afraid of the big bad wolf in this
um as the previous cartoons do it's brilliant the animation quality is fantastic the music for it is
obviously brilliant the way the story develops i love the messages in it listen to your older
brother or you will be eaten by a wolf i'm not saying heeds them but you know you'll be captured
it's absolutely fantastic and i love it and i can't fault it and i just i'm nostalgic for
something that happened when i wasn't even born far from being born i just wish they'd they'd done
more of these and had had a full series but maybe it would have been overkill maybe if they did more
they would have kind of started to drain the story lines and the characters actions and
behaviors would have been very repetitive maybe four is a nice number for three little pig stories
three probably would have made more sense i really enjoy it if you haven't seen it and
you're a fan of three little pigs definitely watch the practical pig i think it's utterly beautiful
