Fifer, Fiddler, and Practical Pig (better known as The Three Little Pigs) are the protagonists of the Silly Symphonies short of the same name and its three follow-up shorts, The Big Bad Wolf, Three Little Wolves, and The Practical Pig. They are a trio of anthropomorphic pigs, best known for building houses of straw, sticks, and bricks, respectively. Fifer and Fiddler are named for their musical instruments of choice, while Practical is named for his logical and no-nonsense demeanor. The pigs are constant targets of the Big Bad Wolf, who looks to devour them.
