Yet another variation on the Three Little Pigs theme, this time told as WW2 anti-German propaganda (the US had just entered the war), with the wolf as a thinly-disguised Hitler.

Dreadfully Boring

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

These W.W.-II Propaganda cartoons are really interesting to me because of the history behind them; a look on the War Years. I have a few Propaganda favorites from Disney, but this short is my favorite from MGM.Well to the the nitty-gritty: "Blitz Wolf" is one of Avery's masterpieces, a wild satire of Adolf Hitler, disguised as the story of "The Three Little Pigs". Fred Quimby allegedly told Avery to be careful when caricaturing Adolf Hitler, saying, "After all, we don't know who's going to win the war!" The short was a great success, and received a nomination for Academy Award (one of Avery's six nominations). It lost to another excellent WWII propaganda cartoon, Walt Disney's "Der Fuehrer's Face" starring Donald Duck.This short is also the first short Tex Avery directed; also a first voice-acting role for Bill Thompson (Adolf Wolf).

In case you haven't seen it, "Blitz Wolf" is a parody of the "The Three Little Pigs" (both the story and Disney cartoon from 8 years earlier), and it's in a World War II theme. Again, there are two younger pigs that are unaware of any incoming danger while there's a smart little piggy that knows Adolf Wolf is coming to invade their land (If he dood it, he get a whippin'!) after giving the other two swines a false peace treaty. After he does invade, he starts a war between him and the three pigs.As this little gem was directed by the legendary Tex Avery, there lots of gags to be seen here as well as a pretty funny Adolf Hitler impersonation. To me, the funniest part was when Der Fewer (Der Better!) held up a sign that said, "Go on and hiss! Who cares?" Genius.As this was also the first MGM toon that Avery developed, it's not surprising that many more masterpieces like this from him were made after that for the next 12 years.Good start for Avery at MGM. 10 stars!

'Blitz Wolf' is a terrific animated short made by Tex Avery. It is an anti-Nazi and anti-Hitler adaptation from 'Three Little Pigs'. The wolf, who walks like the Nazis and talks German, comes to the houses of the three pigs. The first two pigs lose their home but the third has made his house into a bunker with all kind of weapons. Together the three pigs fight the wolf.This is a great little movie with some beautiful gags. The short itself gives some comments on the jokes, which makes it even funnier. Although it is pretty aggressive and therefore not really suitable for children, this Oscar-nominated cartoon is one of the better ones I have seen.

Among the many rarely-seen cartoons buried deep in the film vaults because of their depictions of racial stereotyping, risque content, animal abuse, and WWII propaganda, "Blitz Wolf" stands out as one cartoon that should at least air late at night when the kids are asleep and the adult cartoon fans can watch (or tape) it. With its adult-oriented gags and the Wolf as the most heartless, murderous dictator ever to come out of the 1940's (you know who I'm talking about), is it any wonder that it's rotting away in a film vault instead of being shown for historical content? Oh, well...
