Stars: 4 out of 5
Pros: Captures the pigs happy after victory
Cons: Something different for the inside scene would have
been nice
The Bottom Line:
Celebrating Pigs
Captured in these two great scenes
In one book shaped pin
No Wolf to be Afraid of Here
Disney’s first mega hit song didn’t come from Snow White. Instead, it came from The Three Little Pigs,
one of the shorts in the Silly Symphony series.
“Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?” became a rallying cry in the face of
the Great Depression. However, for the
pin that celebrates this short as part of the Storybook Classics Collection,
the focus is on the title characters of The Three Little Pigs
Like all books, there is a cover which opens to reveal a
second scene inside. The cover is a
recreation of the cover from a book that Disney released years ago. It shows the pigs celebrating the wolf
running away at the end. (If only they
knew sequels were coming.) The cover is
simple, with a pink background and a black outline of the characters with the title
in black.
Inside, we get a full color picture. This time, the pigs are in a circle dancing
around because the wolf has gone away.
This looks close to the actual scene in the short where they celebrate
the wolf running away at the end except that pig who built his house of bricks
is playing a harmonica instead of his piano and all three of them are outside.
I do wish we could have gotten something else for the inside
scene. Essentially, the ornament released
as part of this series and the cover of this pin are the same, and the inside
is very similar. Something with the wolf
would have been fun. Granted, they don’t
have a huge space to work with, but I’m sure they could have done
something. Maybe the part where he landed
in the pot after coming down the chimney.
Because of the two parts to the pin hinged together, this is
a heavier pin than most Disney pins. To
help compensate, this has two sticks on the back to help hold it in place.
While I would have liked to see something different inside,
that’s overall a minor complaint. This
continues to be a fun series, and it’s wonderful to see The Three Little Pigs
recognized with a pin.
