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. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: How the Wolf attempts to enter the house of bricks, three times. He actually gets in each time, even though he doesn't bother to try hiding his face. The pigs easily see through each disguise. | |

Foreshadowing: Every time the wolf shows up to play his trumpet, he does it little better than before, Also, two of the disguises attempted by the wolf hinted he really had genuine musical skills on him: with the drum and the ukuleke. | |

Bowdlerization | |
The Three Little Bops / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: The ABC Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show airing of this cartoon cuts the scene after the House of Bricks is introduced where the Wolf looks into the front door and gets punched in the face by the bouncer. This was also cut when shown on The Looney, Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie, though that was a time cut rather than a content cut. | |

The Three Little Bops / int_aa42306e | comment |
Totally Radical: It's minor, but some 1950s or general jazz slang is used throughout, like one of the pigs using the phrase "the most" (meaning the best), the Wolf calling his fellow musicians "cats", and the narrator calling the Wolf's trumpet playing "corny". | |
