An Edwardian-style, suited and respectable looking pig is constantly spurned by his love. She (Edith Trublanchet) scorns and shames him before breaking into a lively and quite well synchronised dance which must have been quite difficult for pig - especially as even the set now starts to conspire against it too! Of course it's not a real pig, but there was something creepy about this that I just didn't like. It humanises the animal only to ridicule it and that makes this short feature almost cruel, reminiscent of circus freakery. Great teeth though!
