Released in 1943 "The Infantry Blues" is one of the cartoons in the "Private SNAFU" series directed by Chuck Jones, voiced by Mel Blanc, and produced by Warner Brothers. It was written by Phil Eastman and Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss. The cartoon features Private Snafu grousing about being assigned to the infantry. With help from the magic "Technical Fairy", G.I. Snafu finds himself (poof!) performing difficult duty as a member of a tank crew, (poof!) on a PT boat as a sailor, and finally (poof!) as a flyboy pilot in a USAAF P-38 Lightning. He's more miserable now than as a lowly grunt! SNAFU quickly learns that each branch of service and each type of duty as its own challenges and problems.
Private Snafu is the title character of a series of black-and-white American instructional adult animated shorts, ironic and humorous in tone, that were produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II. The films were designed to instruct service personnel about security, proper sanitation habits, booby traps and other military subjects, and to improve troop morale. Primarily, they demonstrate the negative consequences of doing things wrong. The main character's name is a play on the military slang acronym SNAFU, "Situation Normal: All Fucked Up". (The cleaned-up version of that phrase, usually used on radio and in print, was "Situation Normal: All Fouled Up".)
Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
