The Legend of Rockabye Point

1955 · Walter Lantz · 6m 13s

The Legend of Rockabye Point is a 1955 Chilly Willy cartoon directed by Tex Avery. It was produced by Walter Lantz Productions and was released on April 11, 1955. The cartoon was nominated for the 1955 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, but would lose to the Merrie Melodies short Speedy Gonzales. This is also the second (and last) Chilly Willy cartoon directed by Avery. The plot of the cartoon resembles an earlier cartoon Avery directed, that being the 1952 short Rock-a-Bye Bear for MGM.
