A film featuring a giant anthromorphic pig was based on an act from what theatrical genre of variety entertainment?
Le Cochon Danseur Le Cochon Danseur (English: "The Dancing Pig") is a silent, 4 minute long, black-and-white burlesque film released in 1907 by French company Pathé, apparently based on a Vaudeville act. In the film, a giant anthropomorphic pig, dressed in human fancy clothes, dances with a girl, who later embarrasses him by tearing his clothes off. The two start to dance together, then walk into the curtains behind them. A disturbing scene is then shown where you see the pig moving his tongue and eyes around and then baring his teeth.
The Possum Drop The Possum Drop is any one of several New Year's Day celebrations in which a possum is lowered from height at midnight. In contrast to other events of its kind, which typically involve replicas, a "possum drop" uses a live animal as its prop.
