Tex Avery Chilly Willy The Legend Of Rockabye Point 1955

[MDthornton83]

The polar bear's name is Charlie?

[Jardenon]

a polar bear would be able to take a bulldog for real any day.

[fabfinest]

what a classic!!!

[culpit]

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

would u believe this is only time tex avery & michael maltese teamed up on a 'toon?

[Alexltavares]

That polar bear is a pretty darn good musician!

The dog yawning always gets me... I mean, the whole thing's hilarious, but that bit makes me chuckle especially.

[theevildead23]

The dog yawning... I rewatched it about three or four times.

Who did you feel sorry more for:

1. The Old Man - Having to hear "rock-a-bye baby" in the Arctic over and over again for 20 years.

2. The polar bear - Getting hurt in the process trying to get some fish, and getting bitten by the mean old dog.

3. Chilly Willy - The Antagonist

4. The guard dog - Having the addiction to bite a polar bear in the ass, guarding the fish load in the process. However, he chooses not to eat the penguin. I wonder why?

[pylgrym]

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.

[Lasorna]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny. =>

[antenando]

This toon is an icon of my childhood. Thank you so much for this post. BTW, DOES ANYONE KNOW THE LINES OF THE CHORUS?!?!?!

[cashox1]

huge !! :))

[rabsmiff]

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.

Somehow, this is the saddest ending I ever saw in a cartoon. The rest, of course, is hysterically funny.

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

[Monkeymauler20]

Didn't a Bugs Bunny cartoon revisit Chilly Willy?

Either way, this was great. Not nearly his best but great nonetheless.

[xenogear2020]

hhehehehehehehehehe so funy i hope their is more

[wino4ever666]

precious, absolutely precious.

[fromthesidelines]

"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!

[bebofilm]

Tex Avery is pure GENIUS! Even in his Post MGM Studios period he was still making great toons elsewhere like with this Universal toon.

[donamariee]

I love Tex Avery cartoons!!  :-)

[twingrin19]

So many hilarious moments. Insane cartoon.

[bigmacsama]

XD! Poor Guy. But Chilly Willy is just so friggin' hilarious! Great Vid, man, Great Vid!

[KissFreak09]

I used to watch Chilly Willy, and I liked this one. I like the ending when the dog said "Sing it to me, will you Charlie?" lol

[RyougaLolakie]

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.

[PI214]

I love the dog!!!

[bebofilm]

Tex Avery [is] a TRUE GENIUS! I love all of his MGM cartoons! You can definitely see his style in this one! Fast-whitty-outragous-sany gags! Post more!!

[comicb00kguy]

greatness! I just hope the Hitler censors don't pull it.

[soulsizta]

this is my first chilly willy cartoon yay!
