Wat's Pig
In a Medieval castle, a marauder tries to kidnap the twin infant sons of the lord. He makes off with only one, whom he drops about a mile away. A pig rescues this baby, so one brother grows up high on the hog, the other down with the swine; one is lazy, his lost brother is industrious. Years later, when a neighboring prince declares war, the brother in the castle is too soft to fight. Through happenstance, the twins are united just before the final battle. Will the upper-class brother let his humble sibling lead the troops to certain defeat and death? Preserved by the Academy Film Archive.

When a kidnapper breaks into the castle, he hopes to make off with the two heirs to the kingdom. Sadly, though, he is thwarted and only manages to escape with one - whom he drops on the roadside as he flees. Clearly the queen wasn’t so bothered about finding him, so we scoot on a few years and find one now the king and the other, barely a mile from the castle, living the life of a farmer - having been rescued by a kindly pig. Then the nasty king from the neighbouring land declares war, and the plot adopts something of the “Prince and the Pauper” - but can the enemy be defeated and can these twins be reunited? I really quite enjoyed this mediaeval animation with some fine detail and even an hint of menace depicted as it progresses. The style, costumes and colours are reminiscent of genuine drawings of the time that you might see in a monastic tome, and with just about everyone looking as if they were but a bairn with big eyes and skinny legs, it’s a flighty and cheerful romp and well worth ten minutes.
