There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

We've all seen this a hundred times. The lazy pigs build houses of straw and sticks and fool around, singing that song. Meanwhile, the practical third one is putting up a brick building. The wolf is lurking and has pork chops on his mind. After accosting the first two pigs, he must make it past the door of the third little pig. The animation is wonderful. This is Disney and it is pristine, far superior to other efforts at that time. There is a great deal of humor, particularly related to the arrogant bragging of the first two pigs. The wolf is a sight to behold. He is obviously born of poverty, but more of a symbol of the threat that faced those who had little in 1933. Disney was just getting his chops in the animation business and the rest is history.

When a hungry wolf starts blowing down some pigs' houses, they take refuge in their sensible brother's brick house.In many ways, this film is the definitive version of the three little pigs story. I suspect (though I may be wrong) that this was the first time "Who's Afraid of the Bid Bad Wolf" was ever sung, or at least sun on film. This had to be influential, because we still sing the song today (2015).I am a bit sad the anti-Semitic part has been cut. I mean, of course I understand why. But it seems that for historical purposes it ought to be kept in. We like to think that the only people who were anti-Semitic in the 1930s were the Germans, but that is not close to the truth. Americans were in many ways just as bad.

The animation on this 1933 Disney cartoon is bright and colorful, but typically choppy of the vintage. There is absolutely nothing here that you wouldn't expect from the title. Three pigs build houses of various architecture (the one who builds his house from wood is dressed like Donald Duck for some reason) while a hungry wolf attempts to blag his way in to eat them.Personally I'd rather see the pigs get gobbled up and the wolf get his dinner, but that's just me. How can kids side with the pigs and yet eat bacon themselves? The wolf even disguises himself as a stereotypical Jewish salesman at one point. I can't imagine anyone getting away with that now in these over sensitive times.Forgettable.

As for the censored version the last poster refers to, I've never heard of that, and the supposedly censored version is the one on the new Silly Symphonies DVD. Anyhow, this is one of the most famous of the Silly Symphonies, going so far as to inspire the title for the Edward Albee play (and subsequent Mike Nichols movie) Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. The music just bops in this short, and kids are likely to bop along to it. It's very funny, and very cute. But note the dark little joke in the corner: there is a picture of the pigs' mom and another of their dad. Mom is a sow with piglets suckling on her. Dad, however, is a line of sausages. You might have missed that one if you were not paying attention. Any you definitely missed it if you saw it as a little kid! 10/10.
