Frigid Hare

In the days before GPS, all navigation problems could be corrected by turning left at Albuquerque.  Once again, however, our hero Bugs Bunny fails to heed this advice, and ends up at the South Pole, where he is forced to help out a hapless penguin.  Ignoring the geographical and zoological inaccuracies, this cartoon is classic Chuck Jones fun.  From the Internet Archive here is the 1948 animated short, Frigid Hare.
