The Three Little Pigs

One in this series of whimsical adaptations of fairy tales hosted by Shelley Duvall. In this version of the story of "The Three Little Pigs," three pigs -- Peter, Paul, and Larry -- are sent out into the world by their mother, who has decided that it is time for them to live on their own. Each pig builds a house: Peter builds his house with straw since he is in a rush to start his new life; Paul builds his house with sticks in order to impress a lady pig named Tina; and Larry builds his house with bricks so that it will last for a long time. Meanwhile, a wolf is sent out into the forest by his wife to get a pig for their dinner, and each of the three pigs is forced to defend his home. Peter and Paul's homes are blown down by the wolf and they escape with Tina to Larry's sturdy brick house, which the wolf is unable to destroy. The three little pigs decide to teach the wolf a lesson so that he will not bother them again.

[@wordplayabstract4692]

I have been thinking about these plays for years and today I decided to go and research the play. Wow, this brings back so many memories. My mom used to borrow these from the library all the time. I just turned 30 on April 24th, 2022. This was great to watch. Thank you for posting it.

[@chucknorris408]

I'm so glad this is on here. I need to show my daughter.

[@shena2393]

Absolutely

[@lss714]

Shelley Duvall passed away today and this was my favorite FTT episode. Thank you, Shelley

[@mikeburnette2190]

May she rest in peace.

[@NS-my5ko]

Mine too! Bought it on VHS when I was a kid.

[@hiya1399]

42:58 One of the funniest lines in entertainment. My sister and I still recite this line 40 years later. Thank you Shelley for making my childhood happy. May you rest in peace 🙏

[@skysamfreeman]

Same! My sister and I grew up watching the VHS tapes and Jeff Goldblum's delivery of "Ow." still makes us laugh. Very sad to hear that Shelley Duvall has passed.

[@keithhickson6675]

So fun knowing other people enjoyed this like me and my siblings did as kids. Pizza and soda and a couple friends sleeping over on a Sat night laughing at Faerie Tale Theatre.

[@kylieschultheis]

Whoever thought of casting Goldblum as the wolf was an absolute genius!

[@sybill123ful]

i just recently learned the wold was him lmao! my mom showed me this episode when i was younger and remember how freaky the wolf was, but the part where he called the flower garbage always cracked me up. the humor of the wold make soooo much sense to me now

[@nickperkins8477]

Absolutely agree with you!! **(kicks flower out of his path) “You ain’t nothin’ but garbage.”

[@unagiikura]

Hhhhawww Goldblum is KING

[@LillyTheLonelySock]

​@@sybill123ful The wolf is funny to me now as an adult, but watching this as a child the wolf really scared me!

[@cylonscotty7418]

I came here to remember Shelly Duvall. I watched this episode constantly as a kid. RIP Shelly ! Thank you for all the memories : )

[@dreamguardian8320]

Out of all the Fairy Tale Theater episodes, this one is truly the funniest.🤣

[@Augustbeauty69]

This was my favorite. Jeff Goldblum is stellar!

[@robertcroxtonjr.7623]

my all time favorite story remake. i loved jeff goldblum as the big bad wolf.🐺🐺🐺🐺right on jeff goldblum. you rock as the big bad wolf

[@Tom-qp6oh]

This made me Terrrified of Jeff Goldblum when I was a kid...I finally saw him as a normal dude once Independence Day came out!

[@JayWilliams0723]

I always say the same thing 🤣🤣🤣

[@JayWilliams0723]

18:26 you outta my way what you ain’t got ears??? Chop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@toonsthatrock]

I worked on these! Shelly was wonderful! RIP Sweet Angel ~

[@lastcrazyhorn]

Was she nice?

[@sweeney60]

Oh my goodness, this was my first introduction to theater! Tell me everything, Shelly was a hero of mine. Last year I was in a children’s theater show and played a gangster tooth fairy. I definitely pulled some inspiration from this.

[@plmitch]

i used to be terrified of the wolf when i was a kid until i got a bit older and realized it was Jeff Goldblum....huba, huba....lol

[@gogreenboys1330]

i was also a bit scared of the wolf😁..but also much more inspired by the witty young pig ..also actually which i applied that attitude these years to the extent when it was profoundly necessary...

RIP Shelley Duvall i remember you from this show.

[@nicoleh3703]

I used to rent this all the time as a kid! Now, as an adult, it cracks me up even more!

[@JayWilliams0723]

We use to rent it from the library as kids lol

[@Garrettk41]

Now this was a great example of Faerie Tale Theatre giving a classic story a slightly updated setting, as well as adding to it so it will fit the length of nearly an hour. You've got to admit, the "Three Little Pigs" is a very short and simple story. While little kids seeing it for the first time may get restless waiting for the action with the wolf to start, they'll soon appreciate the original parts. Plus, you've got to love the musical references and the occasional suggestive dialogue that will totally go over the youngster's heads. Proof that this series is NOT just for kids. A cleverly written episode with not notch performances from the whole cast.

[@Oncearanger88]

And the composer won an Emmy for this episode.

[@rlloyd19]

Rip Shelley Duvall, thanks for all the magic :(

[@colinleat8309]

I just discovered this. I'm simultaneously blown away by how wonderful it is to see actors from my childhood in these wonderful stories, and disturbed by the antiquated adult " subtext". It was the 80's I guess. I still love the show! How fun! Thanks for putting it up for us🤘😁🖖🇨🇦❤️

[@veronmcgeeney-kb2xr]

Blown away that's a good one 😅😅😅😅 lol

[@Olive-oilien]

Wow! This brought back some great memories. Thank you!

[@MM-qj8ys]

I watched this so many times on VHS growing up good memories

[@robertcroxtonjr.7623]

my absolute favorite version of the three little pigs. jeff goldblum was awesome as the big bad wolf. the should do a behind the scenes look at the making of this fairy tale.

[@mikeburnette2190]

Truly a treasure. I saw this one time in 1993, when it aired on Disney. I think what made this version stand out so much is how realistic the characters were... Peter is a get rich quick schemer, never taking the time to really consider the consequences of his actions. Paul...as someone said already is a pig figuratively and literally, with his narcissitic behavior. Larry is the most down to earth of the brothers, and despite being the youngest, he's the one who always stuck to his beliefs despite being depreciated by his older brothers. In some aspects, Larry reminds me of Dottie from Clue Club by Hanna-Barbera. Ma wants what's best for her sons, and it shows in the brief screentime she has. Buck more than likely wouldn't have bothered with the brothers, because he's a real low-key kind of character. Nadine...I really don't have anything, except she's the reason Buck goes looking for the pigs. Tina...areal prima donna, since she comes off like Paul. Mr. Mann...I really like the dynamic he had with the pigs and the wolf. A bit eager to sell his junk, but was taken advantage of by Peter, Paul, and the wolf.

[@GD-eh3mj]

Fred willard!? Wow, these are a treasure.

[@ms.ozywood5618]

Fred was the BEST!! Especially back in 1977 on Fernwood Tonight......hysterical, with Martin Mull, which is where I first discovered them both.

[@eduardomerino8098]

I remembered watching this back in kindergarten. Omg how time flies.

[@brittanyc.4540]

42:58 lol 😂😂😂 🐷: “Who is it?” 🐺: “Open the door, hammock.” 🐷:👋💥 🐺: “Ow!”

[@erinfree5136]

Oh ham I talk to him no problem

[@JYang0602]

It's been forever since I've seen these. This was one of my favorites along with the Goldilocks one and the Hansel & Gretel one. but for this being an 80s classic, the budget on these for costumes and sets weren't bad at all. still amazes me that it was Jeff Goldblum as the wolf tho. Also i find it hilarious that it was normalized that humans and anthropomorphic humanized animals just caually lived side-by-side in this world XD XD XD

[@georgiawallace142]

Istfg this was a fever dream, I could not find this for years. I remember the first pig scene so vividly

[@yugocean2811]

That was childhood days when it was aired, future Jurassic Park hero played Buck wolf, that was wonderful.

[@Shayesbel87]

Yeah! I was like “wow first Ian Malcolm deals with pigs and then Dino’s”

[@oriana7193]

I just wish this series gets a proper Blu-ray or DVD release with every episode with every highlight of every celebrity that's been on there. Including maybe some behind the scenes and bloopers that's got to be awesome. And yes the casting was perfect in this gobloom playing a villain character that's supposed to be despicable in the way he did it classic.

[@Oncearanger88]

You can get the DVDs online.

[@elizabethbarton3047]

I had a few of these VHS videos way back in the 90s for my kids. My all time favorite is the 3 little pigs. Brings back good memories

[@AwesomeAceZ]

I saw this on TikTok with the clips of Jeff Goldblum as the wolf but it was a nice surprise to see Billy Crystal and Fred Willard here too

[@jessicabarker-telles1433]

I love the three little pigs mom how cute! The tall pig was really in character he was a pig in every way.

[@allthingskate1420]

Omg my grandma bought these movies for us and I loved them!!! 🥰🥰

Shelley Duvall was such a sweet lady. One of the few pure hearts in Hollywood.

I absolutely loved her voice....Rest in peace, Shelley. :(

You gotta respect the wolfs ambition to try and blow down a brick house with just his lungs 🫁😁

[@justinhopper5941]

One of my favourite fairy theatres as a kid lol. It’s crazy how many known future actors were in these. In this one there’s Jeff goldblum, Billy crystal and The salesman is the junkyard owner from breaking bad I’m pretty sure

[@gogreenboys1330]

hello oz, u have no idea , i aboarded past myself 30 years back..A time travel indeed.The most happiest times of myself , my brother along with my mom,nany & nana were watching these fairy tales..now i had watched with my kids reimagining all those times again..Thanks for reassuring life & making the 90s kids happy again❤️❤️

[@waynemacfarland1546]

Shelly Duvall put a lot of truth and feeling into her movies as well as her acting. That's what made her a great actress. So sad hearing that the woman died too soon. May she RIP.

[@caesarretamal3152]

I'm surprised that one of the Pigs found a love interest. None of them in the original version ever had a family reunion in the straw house. The Wolf never had a family either, I don't think. And wouldn't it have been better if all three of the Pig brothers were the exact same height?
