How Porky Pig wound up living in an igloo at the North Pole it's not known, but we first find him snoring away in bed, buried under a ton of polar bear skins. It is so cold that his alarm clock has mittens on its hands, a coonskin cap on it's head and it blows on its hands before ringing!
The "skins" wind up being actual Polar Bears and they jump off Porky when the alarm goes off, and head outside, except for a baby bear. Porky goes in to take a "b-b-b-b-b, ah, shower."
Soon, the cartoon turns into a musical under the song "Let's Rub Noses Like the Eskimoses." Well, that's the 1930s for you with corny and funny lyrics and uplifting songs.
Overall, this had a very innocent sweetness to it and a decent share of sight gags about what freezing weather can do and how you can make the best of it.....until a villain shows up: "I Killem, fur trapper." Then it gets violent.
Overall, this is probably appealing more to kids but adults will get more than their share of laughs, too. The violence near the end was shocking in a few spots, and parents might have to explain a few things to their very young kids.
