Frigid Hare is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies short, released on October 8, 1949. It is directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese, and features Bugs Bunny. The title can be seen as a pun on "frigid air" or the refrigerator brand "Frigidaire".

Plot

While en route to Miami Beach for a much-needed break from Warner Brothers, Bugs Bunny once again misses his turn at Albuquerque and finds himself at the South Pole. After encountering a penguin fleeing from an Eskimo hunter, Bugs gets entangled in their chase. Despite initially trying to ditch the penguin, Bugs eventually takes pity on him and devises a plan to rescue him. In the end, Bugs decides to extend his vacation, realizing that the South Pole's six-month-long days allow him to enjoy an extended break until July 1953.
