'''Pig Tales''' was a mini site within [[Minecraft:Minecraft website|Minecraft.net]] that allowed users to create and share their own conversations that starred two Minecraft [[Minecraft:pig]] sock puppets known as Pig #1 and Pig #2 in front of an obviously fake set. The conversation ended with a dramatic zoom-in on Pig #1. The films were made in retro style and were "produced" by a fake Swedish company called Mackapar Films.

The mini site was set up on August 22, 2011 and on August 26th, the Pig Tales conversation was revealed. These Minecraft socks were made by a Swedish company called Happy Socks and were listed on their website [https://web.archive.org/web/20131205021843/http://www.happysocks.com/us/minecraft/ here].

As of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20160503211940/https://www.mojang.com/2016/05/minecraftnet-20-has-been-deployed/ Minecraft.net 2.0 Redesign], this site is no longer available. An archived version is available [https://web.archive.org/web/20110919061749/http://pigtales.minecraft.net/ here].

==Trivia==
* The video Pig Tales was based on was uploaded by a YouTube user named [http://www.youtube.com/user/BengtAndRon BengtAndRon] but the video itself, titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLXPyJEFzY0 Encounter in the Park]" is unlisted.
{{CollapsedVideo|vLXPyJEFzY0}}
* The man "acting" (holding the socks) was [[Minecraft:Jeb]].
* A [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgMx7E8LF1Q behind the scenes video] was also uploaded to the Minecraft Youtube channel.
* Mackapär is actually a Swedish word for gadget, which is a synonym to the word mojäng.
* The video shown was not an actual YouTube video, but rather a .swf flash animation.
* Mackapar Film was also credited in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcwWN6jcdu8 video] promoting the original [[Minecraft:Lego Minecraft]] set.
* Mackapar Media was the name of a company that produced some of the in-game technology in the cancelled Mojang game ''[[Minecraft:0x10c|0x10<sup>c</sup>]]''.
