'''''Chilly Willy''''' is a cartoon character created by the [[Walter Lantz]] Studio. He is a penguin whose original motivation consisted of a desire to find warmth, unable to stand the cold. He had a precursor in Pablo, the Cold-Blooded Penguin, a character with identical motivation. Pablo starred in a segment of ''[[
Chilly debuted in the animated short ''Chilly Willy'' (1953), directed by Paul J. Smith. In said cartoon, Chilly tries to sneak onboard a polar schooner to get access to its stove. The ship's mascot, a Saint Bernard dog, has been specifically instructed to let nobody aboard. Their conflicting interests result in some comedic episodes until Chilly gets the dog drunk. The short ends with the former mascot thrown into the brig and Chilly assigned as his replacement. While adequately funny, the short was not particularly successful.
Line 108:
* [[Beary Funny]]: Maxie the Polar Bear is cute and funny, rather than a large predator.
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Smedley tended to do this a lot. His first appearance has him react to Chilly's theft of a fox fur right in front of him with "I think that was a fur thief" and to Chilly's repeated attempts to steal his tail with "He's got my tail" and "He's got my tail again".
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Freeze Sneeze]]: Happens to Willy in his first appearance, and presumbably several of the subsequent ones.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: In "I'm Cold", chilly lives in a village called "Colder'nell"
