. . . would feel the need to conceal a hard-to-find sequel under an Easter egg on the "Captions" menu?! Absolutely no one could argue with a straight mind that such nefarious shenanigans "enhance" the pleasure of consumers' viewing experience. You can bet that Lenny M. Never had to put up with such an outrage (and IF he had, he'd have gone into a new line of work--such as ditch digging--immediately!). After a consumer has spent some of their hard-earned credit on a DVD disc to keep a house full of unruly tykes distracted for a few minutes, the last thing they need to be is at the mercy of a pack of corporate tricksters with warped senses of "humor"!

A very nice, final Three Little Pigs cartoon.
OllieSuave-00729 May 2018
This is the third and last sequel to the Silly Symphony short, The Three Little Pigs, bringing back the three animals and the notorious Big Bad Wolf one final time for some forest thrills. This time, the wolf has captured two of the three little pigs and takes them to his lair to be cooked for dinner, but the wolf wants to capture the remaining pig, The Practical Pig, before cook time. But, the Three Little Wolves have devious plans of their own.
There are a some of thrills and excitement in this one, but the wolf-capturing-pigs plot element ran thin this time around, and the Practical Pig's inventions seem to run a little overboard in this one, but, it yielded some hilarious, laugh-out-loud comedy when tried out on the Big Bad Wolf.
Again, it's nice to hear a reprise of the song, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf."
Overall, a very nice final Three Little Pigs cartoon
Grade B+

One of my favourites as a kid!

The Practical Pig is an amusing and very lively Silly Symphony, following Three Little Pigs, The Big Bad Wolf and Three Little Wolves, all of which are just as entertaining as this. The three little pigs are great Toon characters, and the Big Bad Wolf is as rapacious as ever. His sons also return here, and are very much like their father. The Practical Pig was one of my favourites as a kid, and after revisiting it last night, I can see why I loved it so much. The Technicolour animation is great, the music is excellent, and there are so many funny moments, my favourite being when Practical Pig traps The Big Bad Wolf, and puts him in a sort of lie detector machine. Overall, a childhood favourite and I am still very fond of it. 10/10 Bethany Cox
Toons For Supper?

A Walt Disney Cartoon.
With his younger brothers in danger of becoming a pork pie, THE PRACTICAL PIG must have a final showdown with the Big Bad Wolf.
This amusing & lively little film was the last theatrical cartoon to feature the Three Pigs & the Wolf, following THREE LITTLE PIGS (1933), THE BIG BAD WOLF (1934) & THREE LITTLE WOLVES (1936). The Wolf's sons return for this outing and prove themselves to be every bit as rapacious as their father. The tune which the 'mermaid' is strumming on the harp is 'Frankie and Johnny.'
Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew comic figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.

The best Spanking Machine cartoon this 3 Little Pigs cartoon has to offer.
crosswalkx6 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I have seen this final Silly Symphonies cartoon short which is the third sequel to Three Little Pigs and I enjoyed it.
This cartoon starts off with Fiddler and Fifer Pig running around half naked with their exposed bare bottoms showing as they run up to Practical Pig who's building a Lie Detector Machine, they make fun of his work and decides to go swimming. The working pig warns them about the Bad Wolf who's near. The 2 pigs ignore the warning and they change and put on swimming trunks and goes swimming. The Bad Wolf disguises himself as a cross dresser mermaid and captures them with his fishing net. His 3 wolf kids are excited to eat, the Bad Wolf tells them to wait until he gets the third Pig, the wolf goes over to Practical Pig's house and delivers a telegram. The Practical Pig tricks the Wolf and locks him in the spanking machine chair and demands the 2 Pigs location, The Wolf lies and he gets his mouth washed with soap and then his furry rear end gets spanked. Meanwhile the 2 Pigs are being put in the pie to be baked in the oven, but the pepper causes the 2 Pigs to sneeze their way out and get the 3 wolf kids stuck in the pie dough and the 2 Pigs ran away home. Finally after the wolf gets worn out by the spanking machine, the Wolf confesses and the Pig sends him off on a rocket, the 2 Pigs comes home and Practical Pig is mad at them. The 2 Pigs tell a lie and they get flipped over and locked in the spanking machine and it spanks their bare bottoms, Practical Pig accidentally gets spanked by mistake and the cartoon ends.
I like this third sequel to The 3 Little Pigs, this forth cartoon was the best ever. It's too bad there aren't any other cartoons that features the spanking machine. I liked the 2 pigs who show their bare bottoms with a curly tail, it was really silly, I also liked how the spanking machine spanked the Wolf's bottom and the 3 pigs bare bottoms. I also liked the Wolf being a cross dresser mermaid and a Telegram man and the 3 little wolves getting stuck in pie dough.
Unfortunately this cartoon is hard to find as the Walt Disney treasures silly symphonies DVD is hard to find. You can find this cartoon on youtube, it's worth your time. Also the 3 earlier Three Little Pigs cartoon shorts are worth watching.
