Three Little Pigs (Disney film)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Cute Little Fangs: Li'l Bad Wolf in the self-titled cartoon short, need this troper say more?
  • Ear Worm: Need I say? Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, big bad wolf, big bad wolf...
  • Fridge Brilliance: In an attempt to gain access to Practical Pig's house (at least in the UNCENSORED version), the wolf disguises himself as a Jewish peddler. Since pork is considerably non-Kosher, what better way to trick pigs into thinking you're not going to eat them?
    • Unfortunately, this is only the ORIGINAL cut we're talking about (see Bowdlerize in the Trivia tab).
  • Getting Crap Past the Radar: In Three Little Wolves, the Big Bad Wolf disguises himself as Bo Peep, lures Fifer and Fiddler inside his home, locks the door and swallows the key. The pigs seem to think 'she' has entirely different reasons for doing this.

Fifer and Fiddler: (Blushing wildly) "Why, Bo Peep!"

  • Growing the Beard: Taken to a literal extreme in Real Life: during the shorts heydey, one New York theater allegedly kept the short playing for so many weeks, that they had a sign posted above it saying "You've kept us here so long, we're growing beards!" complete with illustrations of the Three Little Pigs with real beards put on them. And they deliberately made the beards longer as time went by.
  • Sequelitis: None of the sequels did nearly as well as the original did, causing Disney to decide that you just can't top pigs with pigs.
  • Unfortunate Implications: Let's just say that watching the first short's original cut won't exactly dispel the urban legend that Walt Disney was antisemitic; thus the wolf's aforementioned Jewish peddler disguise is one of the few politically-incorrect Disney moments not available on DVD (in the U.S., at least...)
    • The wolf's Jewish peddler disguise DID manage to make its way onto an early official VHS print of the short, however...
