Released in 1952.<\/p>\n<p>School is out for the day and a young wolf (Blanc doing his Sylvester Jr. voice,) heads home angrily. Once there, he calls his uncle out for blowing down the houses of pigs. Seems they learned all about him in school today. (His uncle also clearly has a picture of a topless woman pinned to his wall. I don&#8217;t like it when wolves are attracted to humans. It makes my brain throw up.) Uncle Big Bad claims he is innocent and the story is all backwards. He sets his nephew down to listen to his side of the tale. (Speaking of tails, why doesn&#8217;t his poke out of his pants? Isn&#8217;t that uncomfortable?)<\/p>\n<p>When the wolf was a younger wolf (and now his tails clearly pokes out? Suspicious!) he loved to commune with nature. But he always had to pass the homes of three rude pigs. Look familiar? Those are the same guys who sold Bugs their houses to avoid wolf <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wackyland2.com\/blog-1\/2014\/03\/05\/2014-3-4-the-windblown-hare-html\/\">attacks<\/a>. Only now they dress like Huey, Dewey and Louie, whereas the third one wore yellow before. (Which was actually those ducks original color set. I&#8217;m getting off topic. The bottom line is these pigs shall henceforth have the same names. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s obvious who gets which moniker, but I&#8217;ll spell it out for those of you who are uneducated in the tooniverse. Blue pig=Huey, Green pig=Dewey, and Red pig=Louie.)<\/p>\n<p>He has every right to dislike them as the mean little pork chops slingshot him whenever he passes. But today, Louie suggests that they actually let the wolf play with them. (Giving his confused companions a wink.) They even let the wolf use their biggest slingshot and offer to load it for him. He gets a boulder in the face. According to Big Bad, he didn&#8217;t &#8220;moidalize&#8221; them for this joke, but actually cried. For being a good sport, the pigs decide he can play another game of theirs called &#8220;Surprise! Surprise!&#8221; All he had to do was put his hands behind his back where they will put an unknown gift. He can look when they tell him to. He gets a firecracker. (Well, he was surprised.)<\/p>\n<p>As he goes on, he tells his nephew that he continued playing with the pigs. One day while playing a friendly game of &#8220;Swat the Fly&#8221; (Rule 1: All non-pigs get beaten with paddles by pigs. Rule 2: All non-pigs forfeit the game if they play by the rules.) they see a sign advertising a bounty on wolves. Specifically, their tails. He has a right to be nervous as his new pals are staring at his butt with dollar signs in their eyes. (At least they&#8217;re not horny?) They deny that they would have any desire to rip off his tail as he&#8217;s there friend. In fact, they want him to be the king for the day! They have a throne set up and everything! Sitting down, he pulls a bell rope at the pigs suggestion to let his proclamation ring. In actuality, it&#8217;s connected to a guillotine blade and the wolf just barely keeps his tail intact.<\/p>\n<p>With the jig up, the pigs no longer bother hiding their blood lust and chase him back to his house. They blow down <em>his<\/em> house and with him knocked out under the rubble, they advance with a crazy look in their eyes. The nephew, upon hearing all this, doesn&#8217;t buy it. The wolf then shows that he was tailless all along! *Haunting laughter as lightning strikes*<\/p>\n<p>(Before the short ends though, he confides to us that he lost it in a swinging door. Keep that ending away from the campfire, pal)<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHow I dread passing the houses of them three, mean, little pigs.\u201d Directed by Robert McKimson; Story by Tedd Pierce; Animation by Phil DeLara, Charles McKimson, Herman Cohen, and Rod Scribner; Layouts by Peter Alvarado; Backgrounds by Richard H.
