Sequel to Disney's Academy Award-winning Three Little Pigs short. The story this time brings Little Red Riding Hood into the mix as two of the three pigs escort her to her grandma's house. They ignore the third pig's warnings about avoiding the woods and run into you-know-who along the way. Of course, things get crazy. The animation is vibrant with gorgeous colors and nicely-drawn characters and backgrounds. The voice work is great. The music is cheerful and upbeat. The famous song from the first cartoon, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?," is also included in this one. It's a good cartoon but not as much fun as the Three Little Pigs. The wolf in drag as Goldilocks the Fairy Queen is certainly a sight to see.

This is a color cartoon in the Silly Symphonies series done by Disney studio. There will be mild spoilers ahead:This short is a loose sequel of sorts to the extraordinarily popular cartoon, The Three Little Pigs. The song, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" is reprised twice in this short and the pigs and the wolf return as characters.The short also includes Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma as characters, which is interesting, because it's a ready made plot which would be immediately familiar to the audience. The short begins with Red coming up on the brick house the pigs now share. Two pigs are dancing and playing while the other is at work laying bricks. The two playing pigs suggest Red take a shortcut through the woods, which their wiser brother advises against, because the wolf lurks there. Foolishness prevails and Red and the two pigs go off to Grandma's house.The wolf, wearing an obvious disguise, nonetheless fools them because, in truth, the pigs and Red are morons. It's surprising that they haven't been turned into pork byproducts long since. Once it becomes clear that it's the wolf, Red is left to her own devices when the pigs run like the wind in the direction of home.Red gets away and the wolf heads to Grandma's and changes places with her. While the Red storyline plays out as expected, the practical pig, on hearing from his brothers that they left Red on her own, rushes to her aid.Instead of the woodsman, the pig is the hero here and there's a happy ending for everyone but the wolf. Some nice animation and gags in an average short.This short is available on the Disney Treasures Silly Symphonies DVD set. The set is worth having and this short is worth seeing.

Little Red Riding hood arrives at the three little pigs' stone house where they are still frolicking campily (and the house still under construction, strangely). Hood, herself appearing as a cross between Shirley Temple and Betty Boop, asks to be escorted to Grandma's while the wolf, still in search of dinner, lays a trap in order to preserve his spot on the food chain.As much as I'd like to see an animated Disney bloodbath where Hood gets her throat torn out and Wolfie get his pork chops I'm sad to say that it doesn't happen. Even the previous acceptance of swallowing grandma whole has been avoided, but the torture of the poor canine simply for wishing to be fed is okay.Forgettable.

(Possible spoiler) This is the sequel to the Walt Disney Silly Symphony "The Three Little Pigs" and is pretty good,well drawn,good story line.and amusing.When the wolf is in the bed and red riding hood says "oh grandma,what a big nose you have" the Wolfs nose resembles Jimmy Durante and he says "the better to ha-cha cha cha cha" Classic.
