The Dancing Pig
Comedy
Storyline
This short burlesque film presents an anthropomorphic pig in elegant dress flirting and dancing with a woman, before being humiliated and compelled to perform for her amusement. The film is a screen adaptation of "Le cochon mondain," a successful Paris music-hall act, likely performed by its creator Odéo using the same custom-designed costume.

"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!"
