Then I'll huff... and I'll puff... and I'll blow your house in!
~ The Big Bad Wolf
Frank: You did it again boss.
Big Bad Wolf: Yes, I did... You know what Frank? All this huffing and puffing is making me very hungry.
Frank: Yeah, me too boss.
~ The Big Bad Wolf and Frank

The Big Bad Wolf is the main antagonist of The Three Little Pigs 1999 movie and his sidekick Frank the Weasel.

Appearance[]

The Big Bad Wolf is a skinny and tall anthropomorphic wolf with a large muzzle and grey fur. He wears a yellow and purple vest and blue jeans with a brown belt.

When attempting to blow down the houses of the three little pigs, his body obscures his neck, and he inflates in size and becomes bulkier:

When blowing the straw house, the wolf's chest inflates to the point it tears his west, and he becomes a bit taller. His face also turns blue. When blowing the stick house, the wolf's stomach inflates, making him bulkier. His face also briefly turns blue. When blowing the stone house for the first time, the wolf grows into a large size to the point where he towers over Frank, taking a much rounder shape. His tail also becomes bulkier. When trying to blow down the stone house for the second time. The wolf inflates into a giant, becoming about the same size as the house. At that point, his arms and legs become thicker and stretch out. His body becomes bulkier. His cheeks and muzzle become larger. His eyes turn red and cross-eyed, and his tail and nails are no longer being visible.

Frank the Weasel is an anthropomorphic weasel with brown fur and wears a blue and red jacket.

Personality[]

The Big Bad Wolf is a manipulative and greedy trickster. He manages to take advantage of Joe's insecurities and sells him a fake elixir to his sick mom to get all of his money. He is skilled at disguises, pretending to be "Edward the Fox" and tricking the pigs into buying some land from him, which really belongs to Mr. Grizzlybear. The wolf is obsessed with eating the pigs, desperately chasing and trying to capture them until they enter each of their houses.

He is shown to be arrogant and very proud of himself, believing he can blow down the stone house like he did with the others. It appears that he enjoys blowing down the pigs' houses. His stubbornness and overconfidence are displayed when Frank suggests trying to blow down the stone house again. To which the wolf quickly agrees and proceeds to continuously inhale and inflate to desperately get enough air to blow it down, despite being exhausted, and it clearly isn't worth it.

After ultimately failing to blow down the stone house (despite all that huffing and puffing beyond his limits), the Big Bad Wolf still refuses to give up in his chase for the pigs. So, he decides to climb down the chimney instead, stating that it's "easier than all that huffing and puffing."

Frank-wolf thumbs up

Frank the Weasel is dim-witted, not quickly understanding his boss' plans, and clumsy, such as causing the branch on the tree they are on to break while spying on the three little pigs, making them both fall. He is very loyal to the Big Bad Wolf. Frank often joins him on his scams and even encourages him to try blowing down the stone house again after failing the first time. He is confident in the Big Bad Wolf's abilities. Even believing in his boss in blowing down the stone house if trying again. It also appears that he enjoys watching him blowing down the pigs' houses. However, it ends up being his undoing for his boss. This support on the Big Bad Wolf's abilities ultimately convinces his boss enough to inflate until he extends to his limits. Causing him to become too weak to huff and puff after failing to blow down the stone house again. Despite admiring the wolf's huffing and puffing, it appears that the wolf's ability to grow bigger scares Frank. He hides behind a rock in fear after seeing his boss inflating next to him. And still continues to hide behind the rock afterward.

Overall, the duo appears to be good friends and partners. The wolf briefly stops huffing and puffing to look at Frank for support while attempting to blow down the stone house again. The wolf somewhat cares about his relationship with Frank. He intends to eat the pigs together with him rather than alone. It appears that he appreciates when Frank supports and encourages him. He does not mind Frank standing next to him as he attempts to blow down the stone house, despite scaring him after increasing size. The wolf only decides to blow down the stone house again after seeing that Frank still has faith in him. They are also shown to fear significantly Mr. Grizzlybear, whom the Big Bad Wolf unintentionally poisoned due to the fake elixir he sold to Joe before. This makes them end up being punished for their crimes by the bear.

Powers and Abilities[]

The wolf stone house 1

The Big Bad Wolf inhaling air.

The Big Bad Wolf can inhale air into his mouth and release it to create a mighty wind, referred to as huffing a puffing, strong enough to blow down the straw and stick house with ease, but not the stone house. Like a balloon, he also inflates himself while inhaling air, seen when he attempts to blow down the pigs' houses. As the wolf becomes more desperate and determined, he starts to contain and inhale air to the point he inflates into a much larger size, seen when he attempts to blow down the stone house.

The most intense display of his ability is shown when he attempts to blow down the stone house a second time. The wolf decides to use the last of his strength to inhale so much air that he inflates beyond his limits, despite being tired from his previous attempt. He increases into a gigantic size, causing him to float like a balloon due to the amount of air contained in his body. Then releasing a wind so powerful, it becomes a hurricane that obscures the stone house.

However, inflating into such a size has its side effects. It makes the wolf unable to move. It also causes him to become incredibly exhausted after he de-inflates, to the point he becomes flat and makes him so weak that he needs Frank to help him stand. The wolf also states that he becomes hungrier after huffing and puffing.

Biography[]

In a house lives three little pigs, George, Marco, and Joe. When their mother tasks them to buy supplies at the market, George and Marco split up searching for the items to buy, leaving Joe to take care of the money. Unknown to them, the Big Bad Wolf and his partner Frank the Weasel have been watching and listening. The wolf tricks Joe into buying a fake elixir for his mother, leaving the pigs without any money left.

On their way back home, the landowner, Mr. Grizzlybear, enters the house and demands the pigs to pay him the rent they owe him. Still, their mother has not had enough money left. Then Mr. Grizzlybear proceeds to take the elixir Joe bought from the Big Bad Wolf as payment for the rent they owe him but tells the pigs to pay him the rent for the next month tomorrow.

Seeing no choice, the pigs decide to move out, and George, Marco, and Joe are tasked by their mother to find a place to build their new home while she is away. While sleeping during their search, the Big Bad Wolf and Frank discover them. The wolf, disguised as Edward the Fox, tricks the pigs into buying some land (whose owner is Mr. Grizzlybear). George, Marco, and Joe split up to gather materials for each of them to build their new house on the land.

Marco decides to build the house of straw. While making the straw house, Marco and the two locusts he befriended are watched by the Big Bad Wolf and Frank, with the wolf stating how easily the house will break down, though Frank is unsure. Wanting to prove his point, the wolf walks towards Marco and the locusts, scaring them into the straw house. The wolf asks to be let into the house, but Marco refuses. Annoyed, the wolf proclaims that he will "huff and puff and blow the house in!". He takes a deep breath into his chest, then inhales air as he inflates, causing his face to turn blue and eyes red and tearing his west in the process. While somewhat struggling to hold his breath, the wolf exhales from his chest and blows down the straw house. When the wolf prepares to eat Marco, he escapes.

Later, when Joe starts to build the stick house, assisted by the beaver children, the Big Bad Wolf and Frank watch them in a bush. Frank asks the wolf if he is going to blow down the stick house, to which the wolf says he will after the house is finished. Upon finishing the domicile, Joe is approached by Marco, who attempts to warn him, but they are confronted by the wolf and enter the stick house.

Refused to be let in again, the wolf puffs and inhales deeply, causing his stomach to inflate, with his face briefly turning blue and blowing down the stick house. With the domicile destroyed, Joe and Marco escape, much to the wolf's dismay. Frank compliments him for blowing down the house, and the wolf agrees. The wolf tells Frank that the huffing and puffing make him hungry and expresses his desire to eat the pigs.

Once George is finished building the stone house, George is approached by Marco and Joe, who tells him about the Big Bad Wolf. In a tree, the wolf and Frank are watching the stone house, to which the wolf is unimpressed, unlike Frank. The wolf asks Frank if he is ready to eat the pigs, to which Frank, in excitement, accidentally causes the branch they are standing on to break, much to the wolf's anger.

After Marco and Joe explain to George what happened, the wolf chases them. Attempting to eat the pigs, he knocks his head on the door just as they enter the stone house, causing the wolf to briefly pass out. Angered, the Big Bad Wolf asks to be let in once more, to which George refuses like his brothers had done before. Rejected once again, the wolf complains about the pigs' stubbornness. As he stands before the house with Frank next to him, the wolf proclaims that he will blow it down as he had done previously.

Taking a deep breath, the wolf starts inflating as he continues to inhale more air. As the wolf increases in size and becomes enormous, a surprised Frank watches next to him as the wolf towers over him and runs away in fear. Frank hides behind a rock, then watches as the giant wolf blows a mighty wind at the stone house. After de-inflating to his regular size as the air is clearing up, much to the exhausted wolf's surprise. The house is undamaged. As the Big Bad Wolf stares in shock and confusion at the stone house not being affected by his huffing and puffing, Frank suggests the wolf try blowing down the house again. More desperate to capture the pigs and refuse to admit defeat. While still tired from his previous attempt (displayed by his skinnier physique, weak voice, sturdy hair, and ears facing downward), the Big Bad Wolf agrees to try once more.

The wolf starts inhaling more and more air into his inflating body, then stops and turns around to look at Frank. Frank encourages the wolf to continue and gives him a thumbs-up, then returns to hide behind the rock. More confident, the wolf gives thumps up to Frank and proceeds to continue inhaling air without stopping. Turning his eyes red as he inflates until he reaches a gigantic size. As a giant, the wolf stands in front of the stone house. Starting to float like a balloon and unable to contain all the air, he inhaled. The wolf exhales and blows a powerful hurricane at the stone house, as Frank still hides behind the rock in fear. However, the house is still standing, and the shrunk wolf passes out, much to the pigs' delight.

After examining a de-inflated Big Bad Wolf, Frank helps him to stand up. While exhausted after failing to blow the house down again, the wolf tells Frank that he will go down the chimney since he can't blow down the stone house after his failed attempts. And the wolf orders Frank to help him climb onto the roof. At the chimney, the wolf complains about not having thought of entering the house this way before. Stating that it is easier than all of the huffing and puffing. Once the wolf and Frank enter the chimney, the pigs trap them into a cauldron. When the wolf tries to sniff the pigs through the hole in the pot, Joe smacks him at the nose as retaliation for earlier. The pigs hand them over to Mr. Grizzlybear, who is looking for the ones who created the elixir that made him ill, in exchange for the land where the stone house is built.

As punishment for their crimes, the Big Bad Wolf and Frank are forced by Mr. Grizzlybear to build a stone house for him, and the pigs live happily at their new home together with all of their friends.
