	Movies - Pigs in a Polka

Pigs in a Polka is a one-reel animated cartoon short subject in the Merrie Melodies
series, produced in Technicolor and released to theatres on February 2 1943 by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was produced by Leon Schlesinger and directed by Friz Freleng, with musical supervision by Carl W. Stalling.

The film is a parody of two Walt Disney films: 1933's Three Little Pigs
and 1940s's Fantasia. The familiar story of the Three Little Pigs is set in this film to a simplified version of one of Brahms' "Hungarian Rhapsodies", part of a light-hearted, culturally subversive Merrie Melodies running joke.

It was nominated for the 1943 Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons, which it lost to Hanna and Barbera's MGM Tom and Jerry
short Yankee Doodle Mouse.
