The Big Bad Wolf (1934) Reviews

A sequel of sorts, but more authentically a crossover, to "Three Little Pigs" once more sees Practical Pig save the day after his two no-good brother, Fifer and Fiddler, get Little Red Riding Hood into trouble with the Big Bad Wolf. So we have a continuation of the original storyline with the basics of Little Red Riding Hood, and this being a Disney cartoon sees all of that story's sexual subtext scrubbed clean.

But what we have left is a pretty first-rate sequel. The gags are funny, the immortal jingle of "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" makes a welcome return, the animation is still quite lovely and the colors continue to be lovely and inviting. So while it may not be as great as the original, it still holds up well on its own terms.
