Anapoda

Written by Rich Hogan and directed by Tex Avery.

Description: A funny variation on the Three little pigs story told as WW2 anti-german propaganda, as the US had just entered the war. It’s interesting how at times of war a nations culture could turn to influence even those so innocent and un-involved in the conflict such as children. Still, it’s a harmless and funny watch so it will make a great watch for any MGM Carton enthusiast and for children as well.

Description (Reidar Lyng): Most of you probably know this classic cartoon already. Instead of the usual bit, the characters of the fairy-tale absolutely refuse to do the tale in the same old way. Little Red Riding Hood turns herself into the hottest singer in town, the wolf becomes a skirt chaser and grandma turns into a nymphomaniac. Mayhem ensues. Enjoy.

Directed by Walt Disney, drawn by Ub Iwerks.

Description: Another important part of cartoon animation history, Walt Disney’s dancing skeletons put together a wonderful cartoon filled with original humor, music and sound effects. Amazingly, this cartoon was created as early as 1929, and at that time could only be viewed in real cinemas, as opposed to today when cartoons and animations themselves are mainly viewed via TV or Internet, and even there good pieces have become a rarity. This is a happy playful cartoon that the kids will most surely enjoy so be sure to have them around if you’re a parent.

Directed by Burt Gillett and written by Boris V. Morkovin.

Description: This one hardly needs any introduction. It is the original cartoon animation of the fable of the three little pigs and it was the 36th cartoon in Disney’s “Silly Symphony” series coming just a year after “Flowers and Trees” and changing the animation industry forever by introducing the first Technicolor cartoon. Although Disney followed up with three more versions of this cartoon, none were by far as successful, which lead Walt Disney to state that “You can’t top pigs with pigs.”. This is categorically one you’ll want to show the kids and remember the days when you yourself watched it as a kid.
