Your Father Will Die

While cartoons often have moral messages for children, some want to teach children the realities of life – no sugar-coating.

Don’t know if that’s what Disney was trying to do with The Three Little Pigs, but they did – and it wasn’t very subtle.

Historically, this cartoon was one of the most successful – bringing animation to life.

The response from Disney audiences was huge, thus paving the war for Disney to continue churning out fairytales over the years.

If you watched the animated fairytale from 1932, you might not have noticed the secret message, even though it was right before your very eyes.

For this, too, you must have a sick sense of humor.

The scene in question occurs when the three little pigs are trying to escape the last house – the brick one – as the Big Bad Wolf is after them.

When the wolf is unable to huff and puff and blow their house down, the three pigs are undoubtedly grateful.

They start singing and dancing, while one of the pigs starts playing a brick-layed piano.

It’s safe to say they’re all thrilled that the wolf won’t be able to eat them.

Not all is joy and sunshine in this scene, however.

For some reason, Disney animators decided it was best to bring everyone down with a detail in the framed picture behind the pigs.

Why is it so creepy? Well, the picture is of the pigs’ father – at least that’s what the caption says.

Without that caption, you wouldn’t be able to tell who the photo is, as it’s just a string of three sausage links.

Yeah, that’s right. The three little pigs’ father was led to the slaughter, and Disney animators have memorialized him with this ‘joke.’

Don’t know about you, but if my dad was executed and eaten, I wouldn’t be hanging a framed picture of his remains.

If their secret message was ‘your father will die someday,’ then I have one word for you, Disney; creepy. Just creepy.
