In case you haven't seen it, "Blitz Wolf" is a parody of the "The Three Little Pigs" (both the story and Disney cartoon from 8 years earlier), and it's in a World War II theme. Again, there are two younger pigs that are unaware of any incoming danger while there's a smart little piggy that knows Adolf Wolf is coming to invade their land (If he dood it, he get a whippin'!) after giving the other two swines a false peace treaty. After he does invade, he starts a war between him and the three pigs.
As this little gem was directed by the legendary Tex Avery, there lots of gags to be seen here as well as a pretty funny Adolf Hitler impersonation. To me, the funniest part was when Der Fewer (Der Better!) held up a sign that said, "Go on and hiss! Who cares?" Genius.
As this was also the first MGM toon that Avery developed, it's not surprising that many more masterpieces like this from him were made after that for the next 12 years.
Good start for Avery at MGM. 10 stars!
