[In 1942, Col. Frank Capra was put in charge of the Armed Forces Motion Picture Unit.]

[He was told to come up with an idea for informational entertainment films to be shown to all branches of the Armed Services. ]

[Ted (Dr. Seuss) Geisel, was placed in charge of the animation branch. Capra created the idea of a character]

Snafu's a deep thinker. [called "Private SNAFU" (Situation Normal All F***ed Up) This character was to be used as a character in his "Army-Navy Screen Magazine", a bi-weekly newsreel, made just for the Armed Services. ]

[Background music]

[To have the best quality animation for these films, they took bids from the Hollywood studios. Disney had a first crack at this, but Leon Schlesinger's bid came in at about about one-third of Disney's.]

[Background music]

[Disney also wanted exclusive ownership of the character and exclusive merchandising rights.]

[Background music]

["SNAFU" was based on a character model sheet by Art Heineman and developed by Mr. Chuck Jones.]

[Background music]

[Phil Eastman and Ted Geisel wrote the scripts and stories. The cartoons were directed by the regular Warner Bros. staff of Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Frank Tashlin and Bob Clampett.]

[Background music]

[MGM got into the act by occasionally using "SNAFU" in a series called "A Few Quick Facts".]

[Background music]

[Also, some were made by UPA, the company that later made the Mr. Magoo cartoons.]

[Background music]

[When problems arose with Schlesinger over his paddedbills, Hugh Harmon Productions was enlisted to make a "SNAFU" Cartoon, "Seaman TARFU" (Things Are Really F***ed Up]

[Background music]

[Hanna-Barbara was also making one with Tex Avery's unit over at MGM. The war ended just as the animation was completed. All projects were immediately cancelled, and this one was never filmed.]

[Frank Tashlin - 1944]

(Bull): It was down in the panhandled valley when I was king bull of them all, that my eye fell on sweet Angelina.

(Bull): And I sounded my bull-mating call.

(Bull): She said yes.

(Bull): On our honeymoon, she and I sauntered through the glamorous, grand hotel door.

(Bull): And believe it or not, at that instant, the Nazis and Japs declared war.

(Bull): From here, from there, from everywhere. The beat of drums, the bugles blare, the guns and men were passing through.

(Bull): Look! Holy smoke! There goes Snafu! I saw my duty.

(Bull): I waved her goodbye. If Snafu could make it, by gosh so could I!

(Bull): I made it and boy, was I processed.

(Bull): Whenever we fought, on whatever far shore, I'd follow Snafu and I'd feed him, I swore.

(Bull): Damn the torpedoes, I cried to the crew. Full speed ahead with our food for Snafu!

[Triumphant Music]

(Bull): Snafu must eat. He cannot win unless he has his vitamin.

(Bull): Do I sense snow and sleet?, they grunt. They must get through with Snafu's lunch!

(Camel) "I can't make it... I'm pooped. I'm all through."

(Bull): Food for Snafu!

(Bull): Through rain and mud and jungle heat, one only thought: Let SNAFU eat!

(Bull): SNAFU must eat. He shall not fast. In spite of bomb and shrapnel blast, the precious food arrives at last!

(Cook) "Come and get it!"

(SNAFU): "More, more come on gimme a little more. Attaboy. Be a good guy. Come on gimme a little more. Heck, heck come on load up."

(SNAFU): "That's more like it."

[SNAFU humming and chewing]

(SNAFU): "Nice meal but... (sigh) I guess I ain't as hungry as I thought."

[Dramatic Music] [Bull snorting in anger]

(Bull):Yes, I joined up the first day of war. But now, I'm regretting my haste. I joined up as food for SNAFU, but all I became was just waste.

(SNAFU): "Oh it's okay, we've got a private code."

(Technical Fairy): "Well, if you insist. But I'll hate myself in the morning."

(SNAFU): "Now I can fight in peace!"

(Sally Lou): "Ohhh! A letter from my lover! Our private code. Oh mother guess what? Yes, yes my SNAFU in a big surprise move. Uh huh, Bingo Bango Island."

(HQ): HQ to N.I.X. HQ to N.I.X. Your two-hundred-forty-ninth request for transfer is herewith denied. That is all."

(SNAFU): "Come on get the lead out, sad sack."

(Radio Music): "I'm in the mood for love... Simply because you're near me. Funny... but when you're near me, I'm in the mood for Love." [Duck quacks]

(Snafu): "That's insubordination! I could break you for that! Scram!"

[Ominous Music]

[Duck quacking furiously] (SNAFU): "What's this? Pickled fish eyes with rice? Peee-uuu! Take this thing out and bury it. Ah let's see, where was I?

(SNAFU): "At 14:44, in floats a tin can labeled, 'Fish eyes with Rice'."

(Generals): "Pickled fish eyes with rice?!"

(SNAFU): "That is all."

(HQ): "HQ to N.I.X. HQ to N.I.X. Confirm report on tin can, rush detail description. This is important!"

(Snafu): "Hey featherpuss, maybe you swept it under the rug!" [SNAFU laughs]

[Triumphant music]

(Snafu): "Okay... Get ready for the devestating news... All right, it's just an ordinary tin can labeled pickled fish eyes with rice..."

[Duck makes a can shape with his hands, points to the bottom of the can, and quacks]

(Snafu): "Oh yeah and wrote on the bottom it says: 'Honorable K. Ration, Imperial Japanese Navy."

[Radio signal sounds]

[In the Aleutians-Isles of Enchantment. (Oh Brother!)]

[Alaska]

Narrator: "The Aleutians are a string of island bases extending over a thousand miles westward from the Alaskan peninsula. These islands, the Japs once considered a backdoor to the United States."

Narrator: "But when the door was opened..."

[Dramatic music]

Japanese: "Ohh forget about incident."

Narrator: "And now our back door is a front door to Tokyo."

Narrator: "Bountiful Mother Nature has endowed these islands with all the rich variety of weather from her abundant storehouse."

Walrus: "In fact, THE OLD BAG BLEW HER TOP!"

Narrator: "My gracious, such conditions are almost unbelievable."

Walrus: "Nevertheless, that's the conditions that prevail."

Narrator: "Due to these rapidly changing weather conditions, the GI is constantly faced with the problem of what to wear."

Narrator: "Here, a soldier sets out on an important mission."

Narrator: "The only vegetation on the island is the tall grass covering the marshy tundra. There are no trees.

Dog: "You're telling me."

Narrator: "Another factor that complicates life here is the thick, gummy mud peculiar to this region."

Soldier: "I don't mind the mud, but George hates it."

George: "Claude don't like it neither."

Narrator: "Owing to the volcanic origin of the islands, there are frequent earthquakes. Which are, uh, far-reaching in their effect."

Soldier: "Seven!"

Soldier: "Geronimo!"

Narrator: "It often gets um... quite breezy up here. However these 'Willy-wahs', as they're called, die down as suddenly as they arise."

[Private SNAFU]

[A Few Quick Facts. About FEAR]

[U.P.A. Zack Schwartz - 1945]

Narrator: "If we are to believe the story books, those were the good ol' days when men really were brave."

Narrator: "Then the world was inhabited by a fearless breed of men, men afraid of absolutely nothing."

Snafu: "That's right! Absolutely nothing."

Narrator: "Absolutely nothing?"

Snafu: "Absolute..." [Horse Neighs]

Horse: "Well uhh... practically nothing."

Narrator: "Yes, ever since the world began, men have been scared. The brave knights of old had those same cold beads of perspiration."

Narrator: "Their hair stood on end. Their hands got clammy. Their hearts pounded. Their stomachs flopped and bounced."

Narrator: "Frighten 'em and they got keyed up too, being normal human beings."

Narrator: "Scare a man and automatically his fear machine will start rolling, wakes him up all over and prepares him to recognize the danger."

[Danger]

Narrator: "Nerves go into action and wake up a couple of glands. The glands come through with a shot of adrenaline and all hell breaks loose."

Narrator: "But it all makes sense, nerve cells get hopped up. You see more clearly. You hear more keenly. Muscles tense."

Narrator: "Your body is ready to act and act fast. But to act at top speed calls for extra energy. That's where the liver comes in; this is the fuel tank. The fuel is sugar and here is where it's stored."

Narrator: "Getting scared gets it out. Out through the bloodstream to your muscles that need it."

Narrator: "To get it there quicker, your heart pumps faster and you breathe harder. Bringing in more oxygen to change that sugar into strength."

Narrator: "And here we are, scared? Yes, but ready. Ready to either get away from the danger or stay and fight with extra strength."

Narrator: "That's the best thing about fear, you can make it work for you. Instead of against you.

[Private Snafu]

[It's Murder. She says...]

[Chuck Jones - 1945]

[Off Limits]

Narrator: "This is the story of an outcast, now a hunted wanderer over the face of the globe. She lived life to the full and in her wake, she left a trail of broken men."

Narrator: "Now a fugitive, battered and beaten, she spends her numbered days in a miserable hideout."

Narrator: "You all know her name. Anopheles Annie, the malaria mosquito."

Anopheles Annie: "To look at me now, you wouldn't hardly believe it. But back in the good ol' days I was really some stuff."

Anopheles Annie: "Yeah, it was a cinch for a gal to get along when I was young and good lookin'."

Anopheles Annie: "But times have changed. Why, I used to be the toast of the hotspots. Queen of the swamps. The world was my playground."

Anopheles Annie: "The South Pacific." [Guadalcanal Zombie]

Anopheles Annie: "India." [Bombay Boilermaker]

Anopheles Annie: "North Africa" [Bizerte Bombshell]

Anopheles Annie: "Italy" [Salerno Sling]

Anopheles Annie: "Yep, all over the world. I knocked 'em on their heels. I took my drinks straight. But the boys got theirs mixed with a micky fin."

Anopheles Annie: "My percentages was going up when the big shots turned on the heat."

Anopheles Annie: "It was the same old vice squad that made it hot for me down in Panama."

Anopheles Annie: "Parasitologists, entomologists, malariologists. Every damned -ologist in the country got on my trail."

Anopheles Annie: "And I do mean trail. They started a cleanup."

Anopheles Annie: "First, they wised the boys up."

Anopheles Annie: "And then... Oh brother did they move in on us. They smashed up our hangouts and really poured it on with oil."

Anopheles Annie: "They dusted us off with Paris Green."

Anopheles Annie: "Busted in all the joints from Burma to Brezert."

Anopheles Annie: "The racket's getting tougher. The percentages ain't what it used to be."

Anopheles Annie: "But thanks to Snafu, a smart operator can still sneak in for a one night stand."

Mosquito 1: "Like the torso."

Mosquito 2: "Look at those knees"

Mosquito 3: "He don't care where he goes."

Mosquito 4: "He's wide open."

Anopheles Annie: "Repellent? Ha. He never touches the stuff."

Anopheles Annie: "And that goes for the Atabrine too."

[Mosquitoes laughing]

Anopheles Annie: "Well deary, as long as that guy's around, a little gal can still make an honest living."

[Private SNAFU]

[Hot Spot]

[Friz Freleng - 1945]

Devil: "Helloo. Hmm? Is that so? 180 degrees? I don't believe it. Where? Iran?

Devil: "Now, where's that? Now, just a minute."

Devil: "Hmmm I'll be right over."

Devil: "Heh. So this is Iran, eh? Eh, let's see what the little old guidebook has to say."

Devil: "Iran, first of the Middle East, chamber of commerce stuff. Where the sun bakes all day and the earth cooks all night."

Devil: "Where the temperature sometimes reaches 180 degrees. Ehhh, propaganda. Here, the native beast of burden, the camel, is the only one who doesn't mind the heat."

Camel: "I don't care what you say, I'm hot."

Devil: "So intense are the sun's scorching rays in this horrid region, so utterly devastating in their effect, that all human activity is reduced to a virtual standstill."

Snafu: "Standstill my foot!"

Devil: "Why they work like the very... me! Hehehehaha."

[Salt Tablets]

Devil: "But these mountains of vital war supplies don't stand still. It's off over the winding tortuous route to the Russian depots in the north. The uncommonly steep grades are made even more difficult by occasional landslides that block the road."

Devil: "The merciless rays of the sun make daytime travel almost impossible. The winding, zig-zagging path through the mountainous terrain of Iran presents a sharp contrast to the American driver accustomed to four-lane highways of his homeland."

Snafu: "Uhh, I wonder what I did wrong."

Devil: "No picture of Iran would be complete without mention of that other supply route to Russia."

Devil: "The picturesque Trans-Iranian railroad with its network of 224 tunnels and four thousand bridges."

Devil: "The railroad too has its landslides. Ehh, but this is no problem for an experienced railroad man."

Camel: "I don't care what you say, I'm cool."

[Seaman TARFU]

[In The Navy]

[Conceived. Written. Produced. Costumed. Scored. Designed. and. Swabbed Down. by]

[The Army]

Narrator: "Down through history, native men have worn a variety of colorful uniforms."

[Horman and Ising. George Gordon - 1946]

Narrator: "But today the sailor's uniform, like his ship, has been scientifically streamlined. The blouse, uhh... jumper is tailored of 18 ounce vat-dyed navy blue melton cloth. The cuffs and collar are of the same material."

Sailor: (Howls)

Sailor: "Hubba hubba hubba"

Narrator: "Uhh... the cuffs and collar are...oh well, perhaps we better go aboard ship and have a look around."

Narrator: "Well, here's Seaman Tarfu. He'll help us with our little uh, demonstration. Oh yes, the jumper, the Navy man carries very little on his person.

Narrator: "Therefore, the jumper has only the one small pocket which, however, is adequate for all his personal effects."

Narrator: "The less said about a sailor's pants, the better."

Narrator: "The jumper, although snug-fitting, was designed to be easily removed."

Narrator: "Grasping the lower seam between the thumb and forefinger of each hand and exerting a gentle upward pull, before our sailor boy can say, heave ho the mizzenmast."

Narrator: "Uh heave ho the mizzenmast. Heave ho the mizzenmast!"

Narrator: "There, it's off in a jiffy."

Speakers: "Man your battle stations. Man your battle stations."

Narrator: "Navy craft are always kept immaculately clean."

Narrator: "And whatever natural hazards are encountered will always be handled with true Navy efficiency."

Narrator: "Of all Navy traditions and ceremonies, the most colorful is that of piping the Admiral aboard."

Narrator: "Another Navy tradition is that of growing a beard on long cruises. But it must conform to regulations."

Narrator: "Hmm. The regulation clearly states the hair, beard, and moustache must be worn neatly trimmed."

Dog: "The hair, beard, and moustache must be worn neatly trimmed. Nyah nyah nyah (barks)"

Narrator: "And what is a sailor without a tattoo?"

Narrator: "Today's super dreadnought boasts a completely equipped metero, metero, metah... weather forecasting laboratory."

Narrator: "Hmm, wonder what's the weather going to be tommorow."

Sailor: "Duh, uh, duh, looks like a storm to me!"

Narrator: "Seriously however, Navy equipment is the finest obtainable, and though a sailor must still take his turn standing watch in the crow's nest,"

Narrator: "he has at hand the most powerful binoculars in the world, enabling him to see through solid banks of fog, mist, and rain."

Narrator: "Even beyond the horizon."

Woman: "Fresh?"

Narrator: "In conclusion, of course, no picture about our Navy would be complete without some appraisal of the American sailor as a fighting man."

Narrator: "Let's hear from a recognized authority on this subject."

(Japanese Soldier screaming in Japanese)

[The End]

Narrator: What'd ya expect, sailor? The Army made this picture.
