Three Stupid Wolves is a Sappy Symphonies that was released on December 23, 1944.

Synopsis

The film tells the story of three wolves (Parker, Piper and Padern) and their adventures in a house. It begins with the wolves left out in the snow. They then notice the house nearby and enter it for shelter. They arrive at its kitchen, and begin to play there after the house's African-American housekeeper (Mammy Two Shoes) has finished preparing a meal. After more playing in various areas of the house, the film switches its focus to one particular wolf, Parker, who is chasing a feather and eventually ends up on a piano keyboard. The wolves starts to play with the feather walking down the piano keyboard and the feather lands on the 'on' switch with the wolves presses and the then-revealed pianola begins to play a variation of "Easy Square", a song composed by Roy Webb in 1940. The other two wolves, Parker and Padern, rejoin the first. When the pianola finishes its song, the wolves leave it and are caught by the housekeeper. As she prepares to throw them out, she is stopped by a little girl (Little Anna), who decides to adopt the wolves.
