comment
Frigid Hare is a 1949 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones, starring Bugs Bunny. It is also the debut of the very obscure character, Playboy Penguin, who would make his second (and last) appearance in 1950's "8 Ball Bunny".Bugs Bunny is given a two-week vacation by Mr. Warner, so he decides to spend it at the Miami Beach. However, he takes yet another wrong turn at Albuquerque and ends up in Antarctica by mistake, where he encounters a pint-sized penguin on the run from an Inuit hunter. Even though he knows that it might hamper his vacation, Bugs doesn't have a choice but to help the little guy get away from the hunter.

Kick the Dog: After the Inuit is taken care of, Bugs walks back, only to find Playboy. He then starts to scold the precious little creature for ruining his vacation, which causes the latter to tear up. Bugs then apologizes for hurting his feelings.

Instant Ice: Just Add Cold!
 Frigid Hare / int_4824548a
comment
Instant Ice: Just Add Cold!: When Bugs first enters Antarctica, assuming it to be the beach, he jumps into the water and the resulting splash freezes solid. Bugs then leaps back out and runs back onto land. This is how Playboy saves Bugs and the Inuit from plummeting to their doom. He gets a bucket of water and splashes it onto the broken precipice with the two of them on it, stopping it once the water freezes. And finally, Playboy has his defining moment; crying out tears that solidify into ice cubes in the cold.

The Voiceless: Playboy never says a single word throughout the entire short, though he does whisper something into Bugs' ear at the end. To a lesser extent, the Inuit hunter. He has a single line when he meets Bugs, which is... some Inuit-sounding gibberish, and that's it.

Ill-Timed Sneeze: Bugs and the Inuit hunter cling onto a precipice for dear life as it is about to break off. Suddenly, the Inuit is about to sneeze, only to be stopped by Bugs. But then Bugs sneezes and the precipice crumbles again, now swinging in the air.

comment
My God, What Have I Done?: Bugs' conscience getting the better of him is shown by him popping back out from his tunnel with a positively guilt-stricken look on his face that he'd just abandoned the cute little penguin to a terrible fate. He then tries to frantically explain himself to the audience before finally just giving up on his vacation and going back to do the right thing.

Bowdlerization
 Frigid Hare / int_a49914aa
comment
Bowdlerization Many TV airings of this short mute out Bugs calling the Inuit hunter "an Eskimo pie-head," since it is considered offensive to the Inuit. When the cartoon aired on television in 1965, Bugs, having learned about the days and nights are six months long in Antarctica, says that he will not need to be back at work until July 1968 (rather than in 1953, as is the case in the original film).

The Last Straw: As Bugs and the Inuit are clinging onto a broken precipice, which is hanging from the cliff that it is on, Playboy waddles into the scene and looks down to where the two are. During this, a small bit of snow slides down onto the precipice and finally causes it to fall.
