Little Lambkins is a 1940 Color Classics cartoon. [1]
Mother puts her baby boy, Lambkins, in an outdoor playpen, but he is more mature than she realizes and quickly breaks out. With the help of a raccoon and a squirrel, they are soon raiding the watermelon patch. Mother returns. It turns out that it is moving day, and the family is moving to the city. Lambkins is not happy about leaving his animal friends. When they get to the new house, he sets about, sabotaging the kitchen and turning the icebox into an oven, the hot water tap into an ice dispenser, and the stove and phone into water spouts. Father and Mother flee back to the country house, and Lambkins is reunited with his animal friends.
"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".
