Breezly and Sneezly is a series of animated segments as part of The Peter Potamus Show, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The series aired in syndication until ABC attained the series. In hopes that some of Magilla Gorilla's fans would follow him there, Ricochet's place on The Magilla Gorilla Show was replaced by Breezly and Sneezly, while the Ricochet Rabbit & Droop-a-long shorts replaced Breezly on the Peter Potamus Show. It ran from 1964 and 1966, airing 23 episodes that spanned two seasons.

The shorts bared similarities to that of Yogi Bear. In this case, the shorts centered around a polar bear named Breezly Bruin, followed closely behind by his best friend—and usual sidekick—Sneezly, as they try numerous attempts to break into an Alaskan army camp base named "Camp Frostbite" for various different reasons. Wether it be food or shelter, they are usually thrown out by the camp's leader Colonel Fuzzby. Sneezly also has a habit of sneezing, which sometimes plays part of some of Breezly's schemes.

The entire series has been released on DVD.

Cast

Legacy

Hanna-Barbera would later borrow Colonel Fuzzby's design for a similar-looking character in the Fender Bender 500 short "Space Race 500."

Both Breezly and Sneezly would later reappear for the Hanna-Barbera's Turbo Toons game, and as animatronics for the Dexter's Laboratory episode "Chubby Cheese."

Breezly and Sneezly also appear in the Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law episodes "Juror in Court" and "Peanut Puberty," respectively, and make cameos as captives of the Creepleys in DC Comics' Deathstroke/Yogi Bear Special.
