Chilly Willy appeared in 50 theatrical short subjects produced by Lantz from to , most of which involve his attempts to stay warm, and always meeting opposition from a dog named Smedley voiced by Daws Butler in his "Huckleberry Hound" voice.
Ironically, Chilly never referred to Smedley by name. Most times that Chilly was in opposition with Smedley, it wound up with the two of them being friends at the end.
Chilly was more of a nuisance to Smedley than an enemy, often showing up where Smedley is working, usually for some mean employer. Maxie has appeared with Chilly more than Gooney has. There has been only two cartoons in which all three characters have appeared together: Gooney's Goofy Landings where Chilly and Maxey try to perfect Gooney's landings and Airlift a la Carte where Chilly, Maxie, and Gooney go to the store owned by Smedley.
In some episodes, Chilly Willy also deals with a hunter named Colonel Pot Shot voiced by Daws Butler whom Smedley has been shown to work for in some episodes. Pot Shot would give orders in a calm controlled voice, and then would explode in rage when he told Smedley what would happen should he fail in his objective.
Paul J. Smith directed the first Chilly Willy cartoon, simply titled Chilly Willy , in The initial version of Chilly Willy resembled Woody Woodpecker, except with flippers and black feathers, but in subsequent cartoons an entirely new design was used. Chilly was mute in most of his s and early s cartoons, although he was voiced by Sara Berner in the initial entry, while later entries featured Daws Butler providing Chilly's voice, in a style similar to his Elroy Jetson characterization.
The character always speaks in the comic book stories based on the character. When the Lantz cartoons were packaged for television in as The Woody Woodpecker Show , Chilly Willy was a featured attraction on the show, and has remained such in all later versions of the Woody Woodpecker Show package.
