Polar Pests
1958
Comedy Animation Short
Synopsis
Chilly Willy's best cartoons were perfect examples of how a potentially one-joke character and concept could end up actually being a perfect mix of the cute and the funny with a lot of colour and good comic timing to go with it.To see Chilly Willy at his best, as said a few times now, look no further than the two Tex Avery efforts ('The Legend of Rockabye Point' especially is one of his best ever cartoons). 'Polar Pest' is cute and amusing, but, while a good representation of Chilly as a character, as far as his cartoons go it is a long way from being one of his best.It's far from bad, but is not a patch on all his previous cartoons and there are far funnier and more inventive cartoons of his that execute their stories with much more imagination and variation without following too much of a formula (though admittedly a few of them were still predictable).A lot of good things still here. The animation does have a lot of luscious colours and handsome backgrounds, Chilly is also well drawn and the setting has a nice atmosphere that suits the formula well. The music is full of lively bounce and character, with luscious orchestration. It not only adds to the action and visuals but enhances them too.Enough of the gags do amuse and it is always remarkable at what Chilly has up his sleeve and how he does it.Chilly is adorable and is also a lot of fun, with his actions speaking far louder than words. He may be a nuisance to his opponents but he wins the viewer over with his cuteness a
