Opening Scene:

Big Bad Wolf; describing the coming interpretation, set to the music of Hungry(fitting musical pun for the Big Bad Wolf yes?)

Scene One:

Little Pig #1 reading instructions(preference of type(custom)); builds a house of straw.(because pigs won't eat it) Then lays back in repose made in the shade out in his front yard for all to see(his own personal fan)... not a care in the world depending on which way the wind blows(weather vane)

Scene Two:

Little Pig #2 building his house out of sticks er matches(akin to code/HOA) when finished it collapses(does not fit personal needs)

Scene Three:

Little Pig #3 building his house out of bricks; declares himself "smart"

Scene Four:

Stork(stock/meat market) hungrily waiting sees a solid investment... jumps aboard and builds nest right on the chimney(nest egg or investment alludes to a stable future(bricks)) Stork smacks lips in complete relaxed satisfacton(nest is straw(see: Scene One)

Scene Four:

Little Pig #1 and Little Pig #2 each playing their own tune; both dancing stupidly taking turns playing the fool and looking proud of it(politicans playing games of partisanship) Flute(Pied Piper(ethics)) & Violin(The Wonderful Musician/The Strange Musician(moralism)) Little Pig #3 irritated at the foolish song and dance(knowing it a ruse or drama for the public) continues working(all true investment requires long term planning(strong foundation))

Scene Five:

Big Bad Wolf enters from woods down winding unpaved road, Hopak or Cossack dancing(improv or unplanned left to ones own wit or ingenuity to survive no matter the cost) then lurking and playing falls into lake(decietful nature required to survive he ends up over his head) yet adapts from each adversity and leaves Little Pig #1 and Little Pig #2 are twisted (mesmerized by every move yet frozen out of fear) not knowing where the Big Bad Wolf is going they follow in apprehension. Behind the scenes a fight breaks out; Little Pig #1 and Little Pig #2 jump out showing they can come together and play that game too(true colors/non-partisan) Big Bad Wolf reappears and gives chase from being mocked.

Scene Six:

Little Pigs #1 & #2 run into Little Pig #1's house of straw; Big Bad Wolf Follows and lights it on fire(House built on sand) all three mirror eachother in action to Little Pig #2's house(non-partisainship of changing houses as needed to accomplish goals) house of sticks(dreams repeatedly collapse even with help) wolf drops last stick or "straw" after they rebuild it(dream can burst or bubble pop from it not meeting needs)

Scene Seven:

Little Pigs #1 & #2; No where to run trying old habits and hiding try to evade the Big Bad Wolf still in hot pursuit run inside Little Pig #3s house(door always open to those in brotherhood or fraternity) the Big Bad Wolf thwarted as all three in the same house are uncollapsible. Big Bad Wolf huffs and ouffs and blows Little Pig #3 from planned safety offers him mouthwash(same old rhetoric or propaganda isn't going to work) all three knowing the tactics work together(peace talks) Little Pig #1 open door policy, Little Pig #2 open door policy, and bam! Little Pig #3 slams door in Big Bad Wolf's face(closed door policy on non brotherhood/fraternity)

Scene Eight:

Little Pig #1 & #2 doing the same old song and dance(political rhetoric to public or 4th wall(those watching)) Little Pig #3 annoyed as usual (wanting to get back to business as usual, his clothes blue coveralls and red hat(works as one the masses but wears a specific ideology covering both(purple))

Scene Nine:

Big bad Wolf dressed as elderly immigrant playing a violin in "snow"(protraying hardship) Little Pig #1 and #2 see the display start crying (showing their humanity) both Little Pig #1 & #2 want to help Little Pig #3 bars the door(playing the Big Bad Wolfs game (meddling in it's affairs)got them all in the mess to begin with) ignoring Little Pig #3; Little Pigs #1 & #2 give the Big Bad Wolf a second chance(allowing peace talks to resume)


Scene Ten:

Little Pig #3 apprehensive lifts shawl or disguise(revealing the record then flips the script revealing the same old song and dance as before) all run up stairs and the Three Little Pigs run into one door and the wolf comes into another(meeting on the same level from two points of view) the Three Little Pigs run through a half door and the Big Bad Wolf slams into it(All Three Little Pigs were willing to meet the Big Bad Wolf half way, Big Bad Wolf couldn't agree on the measures)

Scene Eleven:

Much to Little Pig #3's surprise both Little Pigs #1 and 2# are on board without hesitation or question; of 3#'s plan and all Three Little Pigs take elevator to basement. Who knew the plans ran that deep from seeing just the surface?(underground secret society(ies)) the Big Bad Wolf gets in shaft and acting casually; and literally gets the shaft in a never saw it coming fashion. When the doors open the Big Bad Wolf is an unconscious casualty as he falls out; the scene immediately fades to black... who or what was present in that underground? (redacted covered up and declared top secret)

The above synopsis is a fun dance or "polka fun"(pun definitely intended) at well "the dance"... Hope you've enjoyed it.

Happy Monday ATS

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing this interpretation,... it's very clever

a reply to: Sahabi

Deconstructing such things is a fun endeavor... seeing the trope at work underneath all the tripe. As adults easy to see as a child just fun that surfaces as programming as an unconscious trigger later. Kind of a it's a good idea to know your meme to avoid unconsciously living a trope.

Actually, that would be 1944.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

ok he got the date wrong

entertaining OP

S&F

a reply to: Reverbs

But undoing their work "breaking blocks" is not something they really enjoy doing... but if a princess is at stake and if anime is accurate(the more busty the better) perhaps storming all those castles is worth it; of course only to end up in each of them alone with your "mushroom" buddy saying all that work playing with your joystick was fun; but the princess is still not here for you to enjoy.

So perseverance pays off?

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Do you not consider Russia an allied force? That's when they landed boots Stalingrad...

a reply to: BigBrotherDarkness

Stalingrad is not in Germany.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Geography is not my strong suit obviously... leaving me naked; but it was a major hinge pin to turning it all around being the axis Germany was working out of to fuel their assault. A big bite was finally taken out of their ass when it fell and was reclaimed.

Edit to add: I take it you are not a member of The Royal Order Of The Rosy Cross; simply because I've noticed you tend to enjoy *crucifying people.



*The OP not taken into such accounts; facts are facts I humbly thank you for the clarification. Just having a fun poke myself.

ok so...

I wasn't going to watch this cartoon... And then I go to another website see that someone has mentioned watching cartoons, click on it and of all the freaking videos in the freaking world.. It was the exact video you are talking about here?
my synchronicities are getting out of hand..

and whats with the pigs offering the wolf "Lusterine" Mouthwash?

by the way I only read to just before you mentioend scenes before I watched, wasn't going to watch right now but since it came up again all the sudden I have to right?

ok I saw a lot of symbolism..


Basically what I get out of it is Communists (Russia) are hiding behind every tree..
Communism is sneaky even pulling the 2 americans in..
cold russian winters US aid..

the smart one doesn't trust russia.

that's sort of what I got..

And I was king of wondering if "Lusterine" might be CIA culture war type of deal.. Offering it to the communists..
Like CIA using modern art to fight the cold war..


Patton didn't want to stop in Germany..






Found "Lusterine" as a newly discovered mineral? 1905... Greatest cleaning mineral ever.. Used for polishing? But I'm just not finding much on it.. Like what? Wondering if I'm reading fake news from the 1900s... Seems like the company went out of business, based on false accusations? Weird rabbit hole..

Volcanic rock?

Foudn mention of it...



little hard to see but it's an oven cleaning brick called Lusterine..

And the company that went out of business based on fake news... Now I see another company using the same name for the product and saying they are the only producer of it..

a reply to: Reverbs

Luster... a shiny quality. Unless polished even a silver tongued devil fails to decieve...

The only syncronicity that matters to me is with watches. So yes your post applies in regards to "watching"

a reply to: Reverbs


It's probably just a relic of a bygone era, you know.


I imagine it was fairly popular in it's day. And for whatever reason its not lucrative or it's hard to produce and that's why we're not using them anymore.

Before the 2000 election, BLUE was the color of the republican party, and RED was democrat.

look it up: Wikipedia article on red and blue representing US pollitical parties

The media switched it, because of the association between red and communism was a drag on socialism. But points for forcing an old cartoon into your millennialist narrative.

a reply to: redempsh

Points for douching and missing the hole you dug.

Neat... perhaps the name was changed to pumice? It is also volcanic rock used for cleaning
