Three Little Wolves is another sequel and the third film to feature the Three Little Pigs (and the Big Bad Wolf). While the original Three Little Pigs was seen by many as a response to the Great Depression, this short can be interpreted as a warning about the coming threat from Germany. On its surface, though, it’s still a fun (if somewhat dark) film with a trio of new characters. With an animation team featuring Ferguson, Moore, Larson and Roberts (ably directed by David Hand) and another great Frank Churchill score, Three Little Wolves is more than just a sequel – it’s a wonderful example of Disney storytelling.
