The Best 'Three Little Pigs' Story Ever, 19 June 2007
10/10
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

This is the tale of Snoopy, Loopy and Droopy. In other words, a twist on The Three Little Pigs. Instead of the big, bad wolf we have the city dog catcher as the villain, coming to blow their houses down and take them to city dog pound.

I enjoyed seeing Droopy make a brick dog house; the dog catcher's unique "sneak" system on his truck; When the dog catcher first spoke, I almost fell over: it was Daws Butler, doing the slow drawl voice he made so famous in cartoons a decade and more later, such as "Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound."

Anyway, this character - and his truck - are flat-out hilarious. His "asides" lines to us, the audience, almost had me in tears laughing. The man was unflappable, with a funny remark after each disaster.

This is the best "Three Little Pigs" story I ever saw.
