It's Creator/WarnerBros' comic response to Disney films such as "WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs" and ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}''. It starts up with the standard Three Little Pigs setup, except pig #2 decides to get even more unsafe and build his house out of matchsticks. After the Big Bad Wolf destroys houses 1 and 2, he corners the three pigs in the more industrious pig #3's house of bricks. After the wolf fails to huff and puff and blow the house down, and knocking the door down also fails, it becomes a battle of wits as the wolf attempts to trick his way into the house. All of it set to a selection of Creator/JohannesBrahms' "Hungarian Dances".
