One of the best Chilly Willy cartoons not done by Tex Avery, which is to said that it’s one of the best Chilly Willy cartoons in general and that the standard of Chilly’s cartoons is not really that great anyway.
This is also a strange cartoon in one way, because rather go ahead and try a million ways to get want he wants through determination, enemy stupidity and the fact that cartoon physics generally always work in his favor, Chilly instead tries to get and maintain a job. Most of the gags come from the fact that, being less than a foot tall, Chilly isn’t ideally suited to any of them.
It sort of goes back to formula at the end, but for the most part Half Baked is a certainly enjoyable entry in the Chilly Willy stable and is anything but half-baked.
