Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

OllieSuave-007 I first saw this short when it was part of the compilation movie, Make Mine Music. It's an entertaining program telling the fairy tale of Russian boy Peter and his hunt for a raiding wolf, played to the very catchy and harmonic music of Sergei Prokofiev.Winnie-the-Pooh voice actor Sterling Holloway does a nice job narrating, and the music fits in well with the excitement, intrigue, and adventures of the story. Grade A

Rainey Dawn A wonderful short film adaptation of the children's story. I love the way Sergei Prokofiev (the writer of the original story) added music to the narration of this interesting little tale. Disney's version is quite cute and worth the 15 minutes of watching.The wolf in this cartoon short is scary looking as other reviewers have mentioned. I think it's his eyes because they are evil looking red and yellow - almost hypnotizing. Plus the fact the wolf is hungry, on the prowl, and willing to eat anything. Yet the wolf is also a bit comical along with the rest of the toons.If you like this film, then you might like: "Bambi", "The Jungle Book" or "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".9/10

rogerc210 Because crocodiles are always getting the hots for them!!LOL More seriously, few animals have had a facial expression mold an image of how they look more than wolves. Some say their howl gave them their reputation, I think it's their growl, & teeth baring. Traditionally, paintings of wolves showed them growling enough to easily lead to the impression that the snarl is a permanent facial fixture, & that image is reflected in the way they're drawn in animations like PATW. If cartoons of the time were all one had to go by, one could easily believe wolves look like hairy crocodiles w/ bushy tails & long legs who's dental daggers are on 24/7 display. Of coarse, their noses aren't that long, & they don't snarl much more than most any other canine, although their growl is a little more menacing. This was my favorite version of the musical, & my favorite portrayal of the wolf. I remember a stage-play version where the wolf was played by some hot babe who shook her booty to the wolf music. Not that my hormones weren't kicking in yet, but I liked the good & ferocious wolf of the 1946 Disney version, & didn't cotton to the awesome score being adapted to sexual overtones. I think I've noticed some versions of this try to downplay the wolf's music, probably because it was too dark & menacing for such a cute story.Probably thought it a genre conflict. However, Disney probably said "That's not conflict! That's CONTRAST!" Disney-true to its nature, is legendary at blendingsomething that's kid-friendly & something that's dark sided enough toentertain older watchers. They don't say it's for all ages for nothing!Best 10 minute feature Disney ever had. Would love to see the RichLittle version. Heard that he used the voice of Carol Channing as theDuck, Paul Lynd as the cat, & Richard Nixon as the wolf.Scene where folks are dancing in the street over the wolf's capture wouldn't go over well where wolves are being reintroduced however.

rogerc172 Prior to seeing this as a kid, I had never seen a wolf , but I was read bed-time stories about them, & seen them anthropomorphized in cartoons.(possible spoilers) While this was a cartoon, the wolf was less anthropomorphized than in other cartoons I'd seen them in so at that impressionable age, I figured that it was a version, albeit cartoon-ised, of what wolves were like as animals.The "hairy crocodile with long legs" image this & other cartoons of the time capitalized on left quite an impression. The ominous music accompanying the wolf, along with visual imagery, such as the wolf tracks in the snow & the way it contrasted in an otherwise cute cartoon was enough to persuade me of what put the "Bad "in "Big Bad."Indeed one watching this mini-classic may find it hard to believe that wolves have any semblance of shyness or docility, though wolves in real life can sometimes be so cautious & docile that it becomes hard to believe they have any semblance of aggressiveness. The fact is that wolves have a wide parameter to their disposition that leaves room for both. Just like their domestic counterparts.Again, this was a cute & funny cartoon, & the surprising result was that the things that made the wolf seem menacing were magnified by the contrast.Wouldn't have been too effective in a serious flick. In the scene where the wolf was chasing the duck, he broke through the ice of a frozen lake. In most cartoons, this would have resulted in the character bobbing up & down in a ice cube. Hee-hee! Funny!.. That sort of thing. Not this dude! He was uneffected & stayed focused on his prey. Not unlike reports of wolves in real life in pursuit of much larger prey. In one, a pair of wolves were pursuing an adult elk who knocked one of them down. That wolf rolled & righted himself renewing his attack without missing a beat. In 5 minutes, the elk was dead. It was riveting to read about & no doubt riveting for the witnesses.The wolf, like the other characters, does do his share of buffoonery elsewhere in the feature-let's the bird make a fool of him. Just the same,Disney's effort to prove the wolf a worthy opponent for Peter were sufficient to put the wolf on my list of favorite aggressive animals. As an adult, I liked the political Incorrectness of the era the film was made in. When the bird made joking comments about Peter's pop-gun being "loaded"(after pulling out the cork to look down the bore!) I reminded myself of how stupid some of the anti-gun hysteria is nowadays. A few years ago, a girl got busted in a high school for doing a playful gun gesture with her finger. I'm tempted to say this flick brings back the good old days when guns were safe & wolves were dangerous...LOL. Hunters in it should go through the Eddy Eagle gun safety course though! Also liked the way Sterling Holloway the narrater spelled wolf in English while it was spelled in Russian.(Bonc)Well, I think I've remembered everything I was going to include. If I've forgotten anything, I guess I could cure my amnesia with another "wolf" on my head.LMBO
