What happens

The Big Bad Wolf is an animated short film released on April 13, 1934, by United Artists & RKO Radio Pictures produced by Walt Disney and directed by Burt Gillett as part of the Silly Symphonies series. Acting partly as a sequel to the wildly successful adaptation of The Three Little Pigs of the previous year (maintaining the previous film's title characters as well as its villain), this film also acts as an adaptation of the fairy-tale Little Red Riding Hood, with the Big Bad Wolf from 1933's Three Little Pigs acting as the adversary to Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother.
