The Three Little Pups is a 1953 MGM Pictures Cartoon, directed by Tex Avery and starring Droopy.The film takes place within a small urban yard, where three young pups (Snoopy, Loopy and Droopy) are building their doghouses. Being based off the story of The Three Little Pigs, the pups respectively build houses of straw, sticks and bricks.Of course, The Big Bad Wolf is prowling around, today acting as a dog-catcher. Droopy, the only one who built a practical doghouse, must act to keep the Wolf from capturing Snoopy and Loopy. | |

The Three Little Pups / int_24ac70d6 | comment |
Surprisingly Super-Tough Thing: "The Three Little Pups" has Droopy’s brick doghouse. While it obviously holds against the Wolf trying to blow it down, it also manages to survive against an axe, hammer, having its door rammed by a log, and enough explosives to level a town. Lampshaded by the Wolf in the cartoon. | |

You Do Not Want To Know: After the Wolf sucks up the pups' TV with a giant straw and it ends up in his stomach, it mysteriously reappears inside the house later, with Droopy making the comment: | |

Fooled by the Sound: The Dogcatcher attempts to blow up the brick house with dynamite. Droopy use a paper bag to pop near the Dogcatcher. He thought he blew up so he checked, but the dynamite blew up right in front of him. | |

The Three Little Pups / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: Played with for the Wolf, who starts off with the persona of a sadistic dog-catcher, only to immediately revert to a Mellow Fellow after Droopy's doghouse of bricks proves impenetrable. | |

Pin-Pulling Teeth: The Wolf attempts this with a grenade on a stick, only to end up with both pin and grenade in his teeth. When it explodes in his face, he loses at least seven teeth (which Droopy catches in a bin). | |

The Three Little Pups / int_bea84606 | comment |
Pain to the Ass: The Wolf gets hurt on the butt twice, first when a bulldog bites it, then when he's hit by a missile. In both cases, the cause of the pain stay attached to the Wolf's pants, even after he's taken them off. | |

Animal Jingoism | |
The Three Little Pups / int_e3ebcc2d | comment |
Animal Jingoism: The Wolf attempts to use this by donning a handpuppet of a cat and meowing at the pups from behind a fence. Droopy turns this back on him with a wind-up mousetoy, which the cat-puppet immediately goes after, dragging the Wolf along. A few seconds later, the cat-puppet almost runs into a large bulldog, and in fright climbs to the top of a power line pole. | |

Brick Joke: After being bitten by the bulldog, the Wolf changes pants and leaves his old pants hanging on the changing screen, with the dog still attached. Then the Wolf needs to change pants again and goes back to the changing screen, where the bulldog is still clinging to his pants. | |
