Polar Pals is a 1939 Looney Tunes short directed by Robert Clampett.
Plot[]
Porky Pig lives in an igloo in the Arctic, where he sleeps with polar bears, bathes in water that freezes up at once, and dances in the ice and snow with the native fauna. A greedy fur trapper named I. Killem arrives and threatens Porky and his friends. Porky responds with firing a musket with explosives. Killem flees into a whale that he mistakes for a kayak.
