O Super Lobo Mau

I love Three Little Pigs, it is a childhood favourite with an irresistibly catchy title song. The Big Bad Wolf is a solid if slightly inferior sequel to Three Little Pigs. Compared to Three Little Pigs, it isn't exactly funny and not much happens until the Wolf gets to the grandmother's cottage. Also while Little Red Riding Hood is cute as a button and like a doll in appearance, I did notice her mouth was too stiff and puckered up at times. That said though, the animation was great, and the irresistibly catchy title theme is back and not irritating surprisingly. The Three Pigs are entertaining and The Wolf delights as the "villain of the piece". Also impressive are the vocal talents, the standout being Billy Bletcher as the Wolf. Overall, very good. 8/10 Bethany Cox

You might want to have a bag of popcorn ready when you watch this animated classic. Red Riding Hood is off to see her sick grandmother then run across the Three Little Pigs. Straw and Wood Pigs walks in the woods with Riding Hood as Bricklayer Pig continues building his brick house. Riding Hood and the two pigs encounters the Big Bad Wolf in the forest which scares the two pigs back home where the 3rd pig is still working. Brick Pig knows something is wrong and goes to find Riding Hood. Riding Hood ends up at grandma's house where the Wolf has already entered. As the story goes the Wolf goes after Red Riding Hood only to have Brick Pig enter, adds popcorn and hot coals to his pants and ultimately saves Riding Hood. The Wolf is not very happy as the popcorn pops in his pants.

Cute short - good for giggles.

7/10.

This is a sequel to the Silly Symphony short, The Three Little Pigs, bringing back the three animals and the notorious Big Bad Wolf for some more forest fun and thrills. This time, the wolf is out to get Little Red Riding Hood, who is out visiting her Granny. Therefore, the Three Little Pigs try to intervene to save the day.

Great merger of the two stories into one cartoon and great music that is nostalgic of the first Three Little Pigs cartoon, especially a nice reprise of "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf," sung to some very serene violin sounds.

Lots of laughs and fun. Great, entertaining one for the family.

Grade A

This is a Disney retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood story. It is a sequel to the famous Three Little Pigs short they made a year earlier (Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?). In it, Little Red Riding Hood is trying to get to her grandmother's house, and the two irresponsible little pigs offer to walk her through the woods, although their older brother, the practical pig, warns them to go the long route to avoid the wolf. The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf would appear in two more sequels, The Three Little Wolves and The Practical Pig, which are quite better than this one. 7/10.

The next short film on Disney Plus is "The Big Bad Wolf" one of the Silly Symphonies from 1934, whilst it's not exactly a laugh riot, it's charming enough to win me over.

Little Red Riding Hood (Sara Berner) is heading to see her grandmother. She's joined on an ill-advised short cut through the woods, by two of the three little pigs. They encounter The Big Bad Wolf (Billy Bletcher) but manage to escape. The Wold beats them to Grandma's house and, having trapped her in a closet, gets in bed disguised as her. The two pigs get back to their third brother, who decides that it falls to him to save Hood.

I understand, from the other reviews, that this is supposed to be a follow up to "The Three Little Pigs" which, given that I'm going through these in alphabetical order, I haven't come to yet. I don't think the context was lost on me though, as it's essentially just an animated version of the classic fairy tale.

Given that It's coming up on being a century old it's obviously understandable that it's pretty basic, both in terms of animation loops and backgrounds. That in and of itself is a pretty charming and it hard not to watch the short with a warm smile on your face. Admittedly, it's not funny, barely converting that smile to a giggle until the final moments of slapstick violence.

Hard not to appreciate, if maybe not quite adore.
