ITALIAN PLASTIC FIGURES OF BIG BAD WOLF WITH BRER BEAR

These plastic figures of characters from the post-war Li'l Bad Wolf comics series Li'l Bad Wolf are interesting because they show the Big Bad Wolf in various victimized positions.

The bully on the upper left and lower right corners is Brer Bear. Originally, he was one of the characters in the Disney feature Song of the South (1946), based on a collection of Afro-American folk tales, but, along with other animated characters from the movie, he eventually began appearing in the Li'l Bad Wolf comics. In Song of the South (which I haven't yet seen), he is reportedly featured as a moronic companion of the antagonist Brer Fox. However, in Li'l Bad Wolf comics, he doesn't seem to be associated with Brer Fox, but featured as a solitary chicken-raising figure who often clashes with Big Bad Wolf in the latter's attempts to "swipe" chicken.

FRENCH BIG BAD WOLF SONGS

One of the scans I had posted on the first day of this blog ( May 27th) was the image of the music sheet of the short cartoon Three Little Pigs (1933). Above scan is of the 1936 French edition of the same sheet, which is notable for crediting Robert Valerie and Jean Valmy for the French-language version of the title song. The below image appears to be the Belgium edition of the same sheet.

And the below image is from the cover of a 1955 French 'disc' (I believe a record single) featuring the Big Bad Wolf:

The figures in silhoutte chasing the Wolf appear to be Goofy and Br'er Bear. I am especially fond of this illustration as it tends to present the Wolf's nemesises in a more disfavorable light and invite more empathy with the wolf than with them.
