Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Edgar Allan Pooh " . . . we'll skin that skunk across the pond," this brief MGM World War Two cartoon, BLITZ WOLF, promises. MGM, of course, is a movie studio that was on the Wrong Side of History throughout the 1900s. Chief among MGM's sins was that mendacious live-action yawner, GONE WITH THE WIND, brazenly referenced here in BLITZ WOLF. The fact that GWTW glorified the American South's Institution of Race-Based Human Slavery, from which ALL of the U.S. Red States' current assets derive, and vilified the 250,000 Blue Staters who died to free the Blacks shows how Evil MGM actually was. Current Historians equate the Genocidal Blacksploitation on the part of Dixie's crass and lazy Whites with the crimes of BLITZ WOLF's villain, Adolf Hitler. The main difference between the outrages of Ted Cruz's Texas Values and Hitler's Anti-Semitism is that the latter barely lasted a decade, while Slavery persisted for many Centuries. Plus a much higher percentage of True Blue Americans were slaughtered putting down Texas and its ilk compared to the Yankee lives lost during WWII. BLITZ WOLF, therefore, is a case of opportunistic hypocrisy, summed up as "too little, too late."

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) These W.W.-II Propaganda cartoons are really interesting to me because of the history behind them; a look on the War Years. I have a few Propaganda favorites from Disney, but this short is my favorite from MGM.Well to the the nitty-gritty: "Blitz Wolf" is one of Avery's masterpieces, a wild satire of Adolf Hitler, disguised as the story of "The Three Little Pigs". Fred Quimby allegedly told Avery to be careful when caricaturing Adolf Hitler, saying, "After all, we don't know who's going to win the war!" The short was a great success, and received a nomination for Academy Award (one of Avery's six nominations). It lost to another excellent WWII propaganda cartoon, Walt Disney's "Der Fuehrer's Face" starring Donald Duck.This short is also the first short Tex Avery directed; also a first voice-acting role for Bill Thompson (Adolf Wolf).

TheOtherFool Very well done propaganda piece from the WWII era has the famous story of the three little pigs told with Hitler as the wolf. He's huffing and puffing away the straw and wood houses but then finds himself at war with the third piggies house, a bunker with hundreds of canons in it.Amusing tale is well told, only to be slowed down by some silly gags with little posts here and there throughout the movie. For instance: when the first pig flees from his blown away house, it says 'gone with the wind', only to be followed by another sign: 'Corny gag, isn't it'. Yes, it sure is!But overall this short is loads of fun and way better than comparable ones from that time, so if you have a chance of catching this: please do!7/10.

Robert Reynolds Had it not been for Disney's Der Fuehrer's Face, this probably would have won the Oscar. As Disney does not show the cartoon, probably because of unflinching content (I wish they'd release it on video. Cartoons aren't just for kids!), I've only seen bits and pieces. But, happily, Blitz Wolf is available and it's great! Tex Avery happily rips Adolf up one side and down the other in an exceptionally good cartoon-even for the master! It's The Three Little Pigs meet Fascism. The villain outdoes the most evil villains in melodrama! Some of the jokes are dated and withot some knowledge of the 1940s, some of them will get by you, but this is an exceptional piece of animation as well as a marvelous example of propaganda in wartime. It's aged remarkably well and Tex Avery had every right to be proud. Most highly Recommended!
