The Three Little Bops	comment	"The Three Little Bops" is a musical 1957 Looney Tunes short directed by Friz Freleng with Shorty Rogers providing the music.Another (very loose!) revision of the classic "The Three Little Pigs", with the pigs playing as a bebop jazz group and the wolf being a "square" trumpeter. In this version, the wolf is not interested in eating the pigs but rather becoming a member of their band. However, as his constant off-key playing is off-putting to both the pigs and the clientele, he gets kicked out of the first two clubs he plays and thus has a motive for blowing the houses down.Famously, this is one of the first Looney Tunes shorts where somebody other than Mel Blanc got a solo screen credit for voices, in this case Stan Freberg.
