Tex Avery Chilly Willy The Legend Of Rockabye Point 1955

"Sing it to me again, will ya' Charlie?". I can't think of any better way for Tex Avery to end his tenure as a theatrical cartoon director than this one. It was nominated for an Academy Award, too!

I haven't seen this classic in such a long time! It had me in tears from laughing so hard.

I love it when he twats him with the clarinet. Brilliant!

That polar bear is a pretty darn good musician!

Michael Maltese and Tex Avery - Uncle Walter (never "Walt"!) turned 'em loose!

Great flick...great friggin' flick..Chilly Willy and Smedley... hot to death. The pit and the polar bear should do Letterman together..they're friggin' awesome. Chilly Willy 0wnz

I remember that polar bear was later named Maxie and became Chilly's friend.

Oh dear lord, that gag at 1:54 to 2:00 mark was so overused. Tex Avery used that gag in some of his cartoons during the 50's. During that time, Hanna/Barbera also used that gag in Tom and Jerry cartoon, "Royal Cat Nap". I kinda feel bad for Tex though. His cartoons from the early 40's through the early 50's were his best. Great Chilly Willy cartoon though.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny. =>

these LANTZ - AVERY jobs are still undoubtedly the work of the TEXAN GAGMASTER, ----but SOMETHING is slightly amiss........SCOTT BRADLEY'S lush score, for one thing, and M-G-M'S overall superior production standards...........still not bad at all, however.

The polar bear's name is Charlie?
