Reception
Motion Picture Exhibitor (Nov 15, 1938): "Here's a natural for the kids. The Fleischers put Myron Waldman to work turning out one of the best shorts they have made. Three polar bears (one is naturally the "black sheep") cavort in the snow, are chased by hunters. The "black sheep" fails to run to safety, is kayoed by a falliong icicle. Thinking him dead, an effective mourning chant follows. He comes to life, there's great celebration. Excellent".[2]
