Hot and Cold Penguin is a 1955[1] Chilly Willy cartoon directed by Alex Lovy and produced by Walter Lantz.
[2] It was the third Chilly Willy entry in the series and was the first cartoon Alex Lovy directed at the Walter Lantz Studio since his departure in 1943.
Although Tex Avery had departed the year prior, he left behind several storyboards ultimately utilized by Lovy for Hot and Cold Penguin, Room and Wrath and Hold That Rock.
Chilly Willy drills a hole underneath Smedley's head and pushes him off to the side.
Outside, Smedley unscrews a cork and plays "Taps" on his trumpet while Chilly Willy sinks into the water.
Smedley returns to his cabin to take another rest, but he immediately wakes up after seeing Chilly Willy on the furnace.
Smedley ties himself to a firework launcher, plays "Taps" in a sad pitch, and is launched into orbit.
