History WesternAnimation / TheThreeLittleBops

Another (very loose!) revision of the classic "Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs", with the pigs playing as a bebop {{jazz}} group and the wolf being a "square" trumpeter. In this version, the wolf is not interested in ''eating'' the pigs but rather becoming a member of their band. However, as his constant off-key playing is off-putting to both the pigs ''and'' the clientele, he gets kicked out of the first two clubs he plays and thus has a motive for blowing the houses down.

* EntitledBastard: The Wolf believes he deserves a place in the pigs' band so much that he destroys their club for not having him, and then ''keeps on'' trying to force himself into their group even after he's deservedly earned their ire.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Every time the wolf shows up to play his trumpet, he does it little better than before, Also, two of the disguises attempted by the wolf hinted he really had genuine musical skills on him: with the drum and the ukuleke.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Wolf brings in a large barrel of dynamite to blow up the brick house, only for the pigs to blow out the fuse, leading him to back up a few feet before lighting it again. Before he can get to the house, the dynamite blows him up.

* PunnyName: Dew Drop Inn (do drop in), the House of Sticks.

** When the Wolf disguises himself as fur-coat wearing ukulele strumming college boy, "Charleston" is heard.

* TotallyRadical: It's minor, but some 1950s or general jazz slang is used throughout, like one of the pigs using the phrase "the most" (meaning the best), the Wolf calling his fellow musicians "cats", and the narrator calling the Wolf's trumpet playing "corny".

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Wolf brings in a large barrel of dynamite to blow up the brick house, only for the pigs to blow out the fuse, leading him to back up a few feet before lighting it again. It goes off prematurely before he can put it back.

* KilledOffForReal: After attempting to blow up the house of bricks with a large dynamite, [[spoiler:the Wolf]] suffers a premature explosion, and as the camera attempts to look for him, the Narrator confirms he was "really gone / [[spoiler:and with him went his corny horn.]]"

-->"The Big Bad Wolf, he learned the rule. You gotta get hot to play real cool!"

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: "Dewdrop Inn did drop down."

* PunnyName: Dewdrop Inn (do drop in), the House of Sticks.

* SpeakInUnison: At the Dewdrop Inn, the audience all says during the Wolf's "solo", "Stop the music! Throw the square out!"

* MusicalEpisode: From the opening credits to TheEnd, the ''entire'' cartoon qualifies as one, with only one non-rhyming line of dialogue, when Piano Pig does an imitation of Liberace. ("I wish my brother, George, was here.")

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar:

* {{Nice Hat}}s: They ''all'' have one. In fact, on the pigs, it's how you tell them apart.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Due to Shorty Rogers providing the music, giving it a more hip feel than the rest of the shorts, which used a traditional orchestra. The short also doesn't use any of the regular Looney Tunes characters, which was less common by this point. In addition, this was the first short to credit someone other than Mel Blanc for the voice characterization, since Stan Freberg did the voices for this.

Famously, this is one of the first ''Looney Tunes'' shorts since '''1936''' in which none of the voices were done by Creator/MelBlanc, with the voices provided here by Creator/StanFreberg. This also makes it the only cartoon in which exactly one actor besides Blanc gets a solo voice credit.

"The Three Little Bops" is a musical 1957 ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short directed by Creator/FrizFreleng with Shorty Rogers providing the music. It is one of ''Literature/The100GreatestLooneyTunes''.

* HollywoodToneDeaf: The Wolf can't tell that [[DreadfulMusician his trumpet playing is lousy]]. He even believes "They don't know talent in this here town!"

* {{Determinator}}: "I'll show those pigs that I'm not stuck! If I can't blow it ''down,'' I'll blow it ''up''!"
