For future reference, if you go to Wikipedia and find Three Little Pigs, there is a bar on the left that has the Wikipedia page in various languages. One of these is Japanese, where the authors (most assuredly native Japanese speakers) have written about "三匹の子豚."

This is a very good way of making sure you've romanized a Western name correctly or to look up specific cultural references to make sure you've gotten the translation correct—that's what I did here (because I just guessed at the title at first, knowing 3 [counter for smallish animals] = 3匹 and little pig is 子豚.
