The pigs end up sharing accomodation. The story begins with
each having their own place. One pig has a house made of
straw, another a house made of wood, and the third has a
house made of brick. A wolf comes along and threatens to
demolish the first pig’s house, which is made of straw, if
he doesn’t let the wolf in. The pig refuses, and the wolf
makes good on his promise. The pig takes refuge in the
house made of wood with the other pig. Same thing
happens. After this, we see three little pigs in a house made
of brick, and the wolf cannot get in, because this house, the
one made of brick, is of better construction than the other
two. And that’s the story.
It is interesting that the 3 pigs live separate and apart from
each other, and are unequal in terms of economic status.
(They are not “conjoined triplets” who have to learn to get along.)
What ultimately unites these 3 pigs is the threat of the “big
bad wolf”. Perhaps the pigs represent 3 socio-economic
classes: low, middle, and high. What unites them is the
external threat: Hence, perhaps the “big bad wolf” represents
‘the threat of an alien invasion’, or ‘an impending enviro-mental
catastrophe’, as in, FDR’s statement: “The only thing we have
to fear, is fear itself”, in other words, “terrorism”. Without
the “big bad wolf” would these pigs learn to get along?
An imaginary enemy, or doubt, can unite a people. Perception
is reality, but reality may not be perception. It is interesting
how two models can be observationally equivalent, but give
different descriptions of reality.
Also, a house made of wood implies a sharp axe was used
during its construction. An axe implies metallurgy. And brick
is made of clay, which comes from the ground, which God
cursed for man’s sake. A brick house also implies the use
of metal tools. And so, of the three kinds of houses, the house
made of straw appears to be the most sacred, the least tainted
with slavery, the least likely to have been constructed with
tears or bloodshed. The straw house reminds me
of Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, made of crystals, with
no trees having been cut. Maybe if the pigs were not so
afraid of the wolf, and had more faith,…But I guess they
trust in earthly riches, which is why they all end up in the
brick house rather than the straw house…I recommend the
book over this DVD. For reading is still better than this energy
intensive audio-visual medium, known as “Disney Animation”,
which requires a monitor (perhaps one difficult to recycle).

What a disappointment.
Instead of some not-seen-before cartoons, this collection consists of recycled material from the Disney Treasures sets. If you already own these, don’t bother buying this (small) collection of shorts.

Okay the dvd may have come out to buy and your suppose to get a free litho with each dvd in the series but the my copy of the three little pigs did not. So the did went to market and the litho stayed in the vault. I did not get mine copy from amazon.
However it is still a good movie to add to any disney collection. Many of the shorts are ones that have not been released before from disney’s vault buit you have to wonder if this means that more previously unreleased shorts and or movies will be coimng in the furture.
While it would have been nice if these shorts would have been digitally remastered they are still enjoyable to watch. If you like disney and classic animation i recomend these dvds. I am looking forward to getting the rest and hope that the will eventually come out on a dvd in remastered form.

Just received my Disney Animation Collection 1 and 2. What a disappointment! Quality of the discs is horrible, even though it got nice packing! Obviously it is not remaster as it’s full of sparkles, scratches, and dirts all over the place! Color is inconsistent and that fake stereo sound is full of noise and hiss! They actually stated on the cover that sound is in Dolby Digital!
I mean, really, Mickey and Beanstalk in my old Fun And Fancy Free (Disney Gold Classic Collection) look must better then this! I immediately cancelled the rest of my order. For you guys out that who have not order yet, DON’T! It will be an EXPENSIVE LESSON, even at 30% discount!

We bought this DVD recently and I have to agree with the other two one star reviewers. This DVD was disappointing in overall audio/visual reproduction.
My biggest disappointment is that the DVD does not go from one story to the next without returning to the main menu. I have to choose to go to the next chapter/story. This is not the fault of my DVD player. No other DVD we own requires this function.
Pass this one by or if you must, rent it.
