Pigs or Pets???, 3 March 2007
8/10
Author: didi-5 from United Kingdom

The central plot of 'Pigs is Pigs' concerns whether a guinea pig should be considered to be a pig ... or a pet! The difference to their Scottish purchaser is 4 cents, and so when rule-obsessed jobsworth Flannery (a fine Irishmen if ever there was one!) decrees that 'pigs is pigs', the Scot refuses to cough up and a flurry of telegrams is set in motion.

In the meantime ... Flannery finds himself with something of a multiplication problem! A charming cartoon with excellent animation, especially of the 'pigs', this one will make you laugh out loud. I haven't read the story on which it is based, but I intend to.
