When the Banker Pig picks up his newspaper, at one point the headline is about a disco at the palace. This foreshadows Part Two, which is about Cinderella.
This installment tells the stories of Snow White, Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs. The second installment tells the stories of Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk. Roald Dahl's book contains a sixth story, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, which is not represented in these shorts.
In Dahl's book, the stories of Snow White and Red Riding Hood stand alone rather than overlap as they do in this film. The bridging device of the wolf telling the stories to the babysitter is also a new invention for the film.
Based primarily on two stories from Roald Dahl's original book--"Snow White" and "Little Red Riding Hood"--but also features characters and dialogue from "The Three Little Pigs."
Part One was nominated for the Academy Award for best animated short.
