This controversial animated short was originally produced for Van Beuren Studios and released by RKO Radio Pictures on July 05, 1932. It was then edited and reproduced by Film Laboratories of Canada, Invincible in 1933. You are watching the original and unedited 1932 version.
The story takes place in the frozen north. Our hero the Eskimo is bedding down for the winter. His pet, a seal that barks like a dog, beds down too. In the spring, everybody gets up. We find that the seal/dog has had pups! All is well and happy. All the cute little animals frolic and play in the snow, building a snowman. Suddenly, the mood changes. The snowman comes to life and starts attacking everybody! He eats a fish in a rather gruesome display, gains a big deep voice, and wrecks a church. It looks like there is no stopping him, but our hero the Eskimo knows what to do. Even the eaten fish has the final laugh.
