Three Little Pigs – Poor Old Dad

The other day Andrew was watching a DVD that contains the classic Disney animation of The Three Little Pigs. I was playing with Caroline on the ground and only half paying attention to what was happening during the story since I think I’ve seen it a bunch of times when I was a kid.

Near the end of the movie the wolf is trying to blow down the third little pigs house made of bricks and is having a difficult time of it. The two pigs from the house made of straw and the house made of sticks are hiding under the bed scared out of their minds and in the background there is a picture of Mom on the wall. I never really noticed the pictures in the background before. (Now that I’m looking at this picture it looks like mom had 7 little piglets, what happened to the other 4?) Anyway, what caught my attention was the picture of Dad.

After the pigs get out from under the bed they are dancing around celebrating the demise of the wolf and you can see a picture of dear old dad on the wall who has apparently been turned into a bunch of sausage links.

And because being turned into a set of sausage links isn’t bad enough there’s another picture of him as a large piece of ham. Poor Dad.
