This is the 1948 RKO reissue titles to the 1933 Disney cartoon Three Little Pigs, scanned from a 16mm blue-track IB Technicolor print. I’ve also included the peddler scene to show that both the animation and the soundtrack were altered in this first theatrical reissue (I think the Merritt/Kaufmann book says the dialogue was remade later). The opening and closing titles interestingly use the 1937 Silly Symphony logo, while the RKO reissue of Woodland Café (released one month earlier) has a later, rounder version. The title card was recreated using the original version as a guide, but the letters are narrower and look a little less “30s,” and some of the musical notes differ as well.
