The Three Little Pigs (Dutch: De 3 Biggetjes) is a Flemish-Dutch musical, based on the fairy tale of the same name and serves as a sequel to it. The leading roles are played by the pop group K3. The musical tells the story of the three daughters of the pig with the brick house: Knirri, Knarri, and Knorri, who work as waitresses in their mother's Three Little Pigs Café. Meanwhile, the big bad wolf now has three sons, who are the same age as the three pig sisters. The wolf wants his sons to catch the three pig sisters as part of a personal vendetta, but the pigs and wolves fall in love with each other instead.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">The Three Little Pigs</span> Fairy tale

"The Three Little Pigs" is a fable about three pigs who build their houses of different materials. A Big Bad Wolf blows down the first two pigs' houses which are made of straw and sticks respectively, but is unable to destroy the third pig's house that is made of bricks. The printed versions of this fable date back to the 1840s, but the story is thought to be much older. The earliest version takes place in Dartmoor with three pixies and a fox before its best known version appears in English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs in 1890, with Jacobs crediting James Halliwell-Phillipps as the source. In 1886, Halliwell-Phillipps had published his version of the story, in the fifth edition of his Nursery Rhymes of England, and it included, for the first time in print, the now-standard phrases "not by the hair of my chiny chin chin" and "I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in".
