Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Certainly not Walt Disney Productions, because after the 1933 success of the Academy Award®-winning Three Little Pigs, three little sequels followed. First was The Big Bad Wolf (1934), followed by Three Little Wolves (1936) and The Practical Pig (1939). Three Little Wolves, which was released on this day in 1936, first introduced audiences to the sons of the Big Bad Wolf, who join their father in luring two of the pigs to the wolf den. Although equipped with a “wolf alarm” horn, when the Practical Pig hears the signal, he does not rush to their aid, for they have cried wolf too many times before. Nevertheless, the pig’s tails are saved in the end.
