Pigs Is Pigs

Based on the story by Ellis Parker Butler

195410 min7.5 / 10

A lighthearted animated comedy about bureaucratic rigidity undone by exponential chaos, built on slapstick humor and whimsical escalation.

Flannery, a railway agent does everything by the book. He gets into a scrape with a customer, McMorehouse, who wants to pay 44 cents freight for two guinea pigs which he considers pets. Flannery, however, considers them pigs (freight 48 cents), a decision he begins to regret when the animals begin to reproduce.
