Blitz Wolf is a 1942 American animated propaganda short film produced and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
A parody of the Three Little Pigs told via a World War II perspective, the short was directed by Tex Avery (in his first cartoon for MGM) and produced by Fred Quimby.
[2] It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons but lost to Der Fuehrer's Face, another anti-Nazi World War II parody featuring Donald Duck.
[3] The plot is a parody of the Three Little Pigs, told from a Second World War anti-German propaganda perspective.
Towards the end of the cartoon, Adolf Wolf is blown out of his bomber plane by the pigs' artillery shells, fired from their multi-barreled "secret weapon" and filled with Defense bonds, and plummets down to Earth followed by a bomb from his own plane, which promptly blows him to Hell upon impact.
Besides targeting Adolf Hitler, the short includes references to Anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States.
The two lazy pigs become fugitives of war and seek asylum in their brother's fortified home.
The city is destroyed with the image of the Rising Sun Flag collapsing in the background, replaced by a sky with red, white and blue stripes.
The cartoon concludes with two printed titles: "The end of Adolf" and "If you'll Buy a Stamp or Bond- We'll Skin that Skunk Across the Pond!
"[3] According to Chuck Jones, Tex Avery was criticized by an MGM producer for being overly rough in his depiction of Hitler.
However, it was shown on Cartoon Network's ToonHeads and TCM's Cartoon Alley with the word "Japs" airbrushed out from the "No Japs Allowed" sign, and the scene involving a missile hitting Tokyo cut (this edited version is also available on the Region 2 Tex Avery 5-disc DVD set).
