This cartoon was very interesting. This cartoon is similar to the films to The Three Little Pigs by Ronald Dahl (pg.24, Tatar), as well as, The Brothers Grimm, little red cap (pg.18, Tatar) all in one.
In the story of The Three Little Pigs in the book two of the pigs get eaten and little red robin hood saves one of the pigs from the wolf just to eventually kill the pig herself, which is not a happy ending to some. In the cartoon that I watched, the wolf attempts to eat two of the pigs, but they escape. The wolf then tries to go after little red and her grandmother, but they also shield themselves from the wolf. The other pig of the three then saves little red and grandmother by putting popcorn and hot stones in the wolfs belch. The cartoon is unique because usually the story of The Three Little Pigs they do not all live, but in the cartoon all the pigs live. It is also very different because in the usual stories of the three little pigs they are rescued by someone else; in the cartoon the pig is the one who plays the heroic role which is very unique.
The cartoon also connects to The Brothers Grimm version. In the book The Brothers Grimm ends the story with a huntsman comes in and saves the day by cutting both little red and grandmother out of the wolf’s stomach and then fills the stomach of the wolf with stones. This relates to the cartoon because in the cartoon the pig saves the day by filling the wolf’s belch with stones. These two tales both share the common happy ending and the way it ends.
I would describe this cartoon as more social because in the beginning of the story the most mature pigs try to warm the other pigs and little red that there is wolf in the woods who want to hurt people, but they just laughed and did not listen. The wolf then tries to trick the pigs and little red by acting like a fairy and at first, they fall for it until he is exposed for who her truly is. This gives them message to little red and the other pigs as well as viewers not to trust everyone, as well as listen to your elders.
I liked the story because it had a happy ending, which makes viewers happy. I also like the fact that the story is unique in the sense that it made the other pig the hero; it is very different from what I read in the past and I would like to read/watch more stories that have a plot twist such as this.
