Did You Know?
| Trivia | This was Tex Avery's first cartoon for MGM, after his disagreement with Warner Brothers' animation producer Leon Schlesinger, about the closing scene in 1941's The Heckling Hare (1941) because of Avery's newest idea and creation, "air breaks". Schlesinger thought "air breaks" cartoons could cause injuries, and worse, to children who saw it in the cartoon and tried it. See more » |

| Quotes |
Adolf Wolf:
[coming up to the First Pig's house of straw; speaking in faux German]
Open the door! Or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in! First Pig: But Adolf, that would break our treaty. You're a good guy. Why, you hate war. You wouldn't go back on your word. Adolf Wolf: Are you kidding? [the wolf laughs and brings in "Der Mechanized Huffer und Puffer" to blow down the house, but the First Pig manages to escape] See more » |
