The Pig Who Cried Werewolf

Heimlich is brought home by his piggie friends Dieter and Chef. They're tired of his snooping around which resulted in a broken leg the last time. Wheelchair-bound Heimlich gets suspicious of the Wolf moving in next door but nobody else wants to hear it. In the moonlight, the Wolf turns into a big fat woman out to cook the three little pigs. The Wolf warns them to leave before he turns into her again.

This is a fun Halloween idea but it doesn't really wrap up. It has a bit of fun with the side characters and their relationships. It kinda works but only up to a point. The story needs a solution to Wolf's change.

Such a spooky little mini! It was so cute & beautiful, perfect for watching on Halloween, plus it's only 6 minutes! If you love the Shrek franchise, you should definitely watch it!

Although the Shrek films seems to have finished that does not mean the end of the various spin offs.

The Pig Who Cried Werewolf is a 6 minute 3D short made for Halloween directed by Gary Trousdale.

It is very much meant to ape the Disney shorts. It features the Three Little Pigs who find themselves in trouble when they ignore the warnings of the paranoid one Heimlich. He has concerns about their new neighbour, the wolf who takes on a sinister human form during a full moon.

The film is rather fun and subverts the werewolf films and yet invokes those Gothic European fairy tales.
