The last cartoon to star the Three Little Pigs. Although usually listed as a Silly Symphony, the main titles identify it as a Three Little Pigs cartoon, suggesting that a separate series was in the works.
Although the original short, Three Little Pigs (1933), had been a huge success, the subsequent "Three Little Pigs" shorts were not quite as well-received. Their middling box office returns turned Walt Disney against the idea of doing sequels with his animated characters. He turned down the opportunity to make a full-length sequel to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), starring the seven dwarfs. Disney's motto was, "You can't top pigs with pigs."
