The Three Little Pigs (1999)
Review and plot summary
It was an OK movie in my opinion, it sure had a unique version of the story about The Three Little Pigs.
Also, I think this should be added on "Plot Summary": "In a house lives three little pigs, George, Marco, and Joe. When their mother tasks them to buy supplies at the market, George and Marco split up in search of the items to buy, leaving Joe to take care of the money. Unknown to them, the Big Bad Wolf and his partner Frank the Weasel, have been watching and listening. The wolf tricks Joe into buying a fake elixir for his mother, leaving the pigs without any money left.
On their way back home, the owner of the land Mr. Grizzlybear enters the house and demands the pigs to pay him the rent they owes him, but their mother has not enough money left and Mr. Grizzlybear takes the elixir Joe bought from the Big Bad Wolf as payment for the rent they owe him, but tells the pigs to pay him the rent for the next mounth tomorrow.
Seeing no choice, the pigs decide to move out and George, Marco, and Joe are tasked by their mother to find a place to build their new home while she is away. While sleeping during their search, the Big Bad Wolf and Frank discovers them and the wolf, disguised as Edward the Fox, tricks the pigs into buying some land, which really belongs to Mr. Grizzlybear. George, Marco, and Joe splits up to gather materials for each of them to build their new house on the land.
Impressed with the house of a goat farmer, Marco decides to build the house of straw and makes a deal with him to deliver some straw to a rabbit in exchange for carrots to the goat. As he gathers straw for his house, Marco befriends two locusts who helps him.
While building the straw house, they are watched by the Big Bad Wolf and Frank, with the wolf stating how easily the house will break down, though Frank is unsure. Wanting to prove his point, the wolf walks towards Marco and the locusts, scaring them into the straw house. The wolf asks to be let into the house, but Marco refuses. The wolf takes a deep breath and exhales as his chest inflates, causing his face to turn blue and eyes red, and blows down the straw house. As the wolf prepares to eat Marco, he escapes.
As Joe is thinking about what to use to build the house, he is convinced by a beaver family to use sticks and gathers berries to them in exchange for some, with the help of a friendly bird and some butterflies. When Joe starts to build the stick house, he is assisted by the beaver children. Behind a bush, the Big Bad Wolf and Frank watches them and Frank asks the wolf if he is going to blow down the stick house, to which the wolf says he will after the house is finished.
Upon finishing the house, Joe is approached by Marco who attempts to warn him, but they are confronted by the wolf and enters the stick house.
Refused to be let in again, the wolf huffs and exhales as his stomach inflates, with his face briefly turnng blue, and blows down the stick house. With the house destroyed, Joe and Marco escapes, much to the wolf's dismay. Frank compliments him for blowing down the house and the wolf states he is hungry due to all the huffing and puffing, and expresses his desire to eat the pigs.
While thinking of what to build the house with, George encounters a mole and some snails and helps them moving the stones from his potato farm. After seeking refuge in the stones during a storm, George decides to build his house of stones and the Mole and the snails helps.
Once the house is finished, George is approched by Marco and Joe who tells him about the Big Bad Wolf. In a tree, the wolf and Frank are watching the stone house, excited about trying to eat the pigs, Frank accidentally caused the branch they are standing on to break, much to the wolf's anger.
After Marco and Joe explains to George what had happened, the wolf chases them as he attempts to eat the pigs and knocks his head on the door as they enter the stone house. Refused to be let in once again, the wolf prepares to blow down the house with Frank standing next to him.
Taking a deep breath, the wolf exhales and inflates himself into a huge size, scaring Frank who hides behind a rock, and blows at the stone house. As the air is clearing, the house is still standing, much to the wolf's surprise. Frank suggests him to try again and the wolf, while still tired from his last attempt, agrees. More determinded than ever to blow down the house, the wolf exhales as his stomach grows and, with encouragement from Frank and after exchanging thumps up, inflates into a giant and starts floating as a balloon while blowing at the stone house. However, the house is still standing, much to the pigs' delight.
Exhausted after failling to blow the house down, the wolf tells Frank to help him climb onto the roof. Once they enter the chimney, the pigs traps them into the pot and hands them over to Mr. Grizzlybear, who is looking for the ones who created the elixir that made him ill, in exchange for the land where the stone house is build.
As punishment for their crimes, the Big Bad Wolf and Frank are forced by Mr. Grizzlybear to build a stone house for him and the pigs happily at their new home together with all of their friends."
