I have this episode.
It begins at a courtroom, where the TV viewers are introduced to the
defendants: The Three Little Pigs. As they enter the courtroom, they are
cheered by the people sitting at the left side of the room: lots and
lots of pigs.
Then we meet the plaintiff: Large Nasty Wolf. Nasty is booed by the pig
audience, while cheered by the people sitting at the right side of the
room: A single wolf cub. The pig audience looks sternly at the cub, and
he immediately stops cheering. He does nothing else, so I'm not going to
summarize the rest of the cartoon, except mentioning that Nasty (at
least in the Danish version) at one point refers to his brother Big Bad
Wolf.

This scene doesn't appear in the Danish version of "The Porkers Court".

We never learn the cub's name or his relation (if any) to Nasty. I think
it's pretty clear, though, that his personality is different from Li'l
Wolf's. Also, he looks nothing like Li'l and wears totally different
clothes. And the grown-up wolf is Large Nasty, rather than Big Bad.

Why would this be Li'l Wolf, rather than some generic wolf cub invented
for the occasion? I'm genuinely puzzled. Does anybody have a source for
him being Li'l?
