Yet another variation on the Three Little Pigs theme, this time told as WW2 anti-German propaganda (the US had just entered the war), with the wolf as a thinly-disguised Hitler.

Tired of always playing the same roles, Little Red Riding Hood, her grandmother and the Wolf demand a new version of the tale. The story then plays out in a more contemperary urban environment, with Little Red Riding Hood working as a pin-up girl in a night club.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

" . . . we'll skin that skunk across the pond," this brief MGM World War Two cartoon, BLITZ WOLF, promises. MGM, of course, is a movie studio that was on the Wrong Side of History throughout the 1900s. Chief among MGM's sins was that mendacious live-action yawner, GONE WITH THE WIND, brazenly referenced here in BLITZ WOLF. The fact that GWTW glorified the American South's Institution of Race-Based Human Slavery, from which ALL of the U.S. Red States' current assets derive, and vilified the 250,000 Blue Staters who died to free the Blacks shows how Evil MGM actually was. Current Historians equate the Genocidal Blacksploitation on the part of Dixie's crass and lazy Whites with the crimes of BLITZ WOLF's villain, Adolf Hitler. The main difference between the outrages of Ted Cruz's Texas Values and Hitler's Anti-Semitism is that the latter barely lasted a decade, while Slavery persisted for many Centuries. Plus a much higher percentage of True Blue Americans were slaughtered putting down Texas and its ilk compared to the Yankee lives lost during WWII. BLITZ WOLF, therefore, is a case of opportunistic hypocrisy, summed up as "too little, too late."

Very well done propaganda piece from the WWII era has the famous story of the three little pigs told with Hitler as the wolf. He's huffing and puffing away the straw and wood houses but then finds himself at war with the third piggies house, a bunker with hundreds of canons in it.Amusing tale is well told, only to be slowed down by some silly gags with little posts here and there throughout the movie. For instance: when the first pig flees from his blown away house, it says 'gone with the wind', only to be followed by another sign: 'Corny gag, isn't it'. Yes, it sure is!But overall this short is loads of fun and way better than comparable ones from that time, so if you have a chance of catching this: please do!7/10.

Among the many rarely-seen cartoons buried deep in the film vaults because of their depictions of racial stereotyping, risque content, animal abuse, and WWII propaganda, "Blitz Wolf" stands out as one cartoon that should at least air late at night when the kids are asleep and the adult cartoon fans can watch (or tape) it. With its adult-oriented gags and the Wolf as the most heartless, murderous dictator ever to come out of the 1940's (you know who I'm talking about), is it any wonder that it's rotting away in a film vault instead of being shown for historical content? Oh, well...

Had it not been for Disney's Der Fuehrer's Face, this probably would have won the Oscar. As Disney does not show the cartoon, probably because of unflinching content (I wish they'd release it on video. Cartoons aren't just for kids!), I've only seen bits and pieces. But, happily, Blitz Wolf is available and it's great! Tex Avery happily rips Adolf up one side and down the other in an exceptionally good cartoon-even for the master! It's The Three Little Pigs meet Fascism. The villain outdoes the most evil villains in melodrama! Some of the jokes are dated and withot some knowledge of the 1940s, some of them will get by you, but this is an exceptional piece of animation as well as a marvelous example of propaganda in wartime. It's aged remarkably well and Tex Avery had every right to be proud. Most highly Recommended!
