[Bosko Video Presents]
["The complete, Uncensored Private SNAFU Cartoons From World War II" Volume 1. Copyright 1990 Bosko Video]
[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.]
[Background Music]
[Capra created the idea of a character 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.]
[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. Disney also wanted exclusive ownership of the character and exclusive merchandising rights.]
["SNAFU" was based on a character model sheet by Art Heineman and developed by Mr. Chuck Jones. The cartoons were directed by the regular Warner Bros. staff of Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Frank Tashlin and Bob Clampett. MGM got into the act by occasionally using "SNAFU" in a series called "A Few Quick Facts".]
[When problems arose with Schlesinger over his padded bills, Hugh Harmon Productions was enlisted to make a "SNAFU" Cartoon. Hanna-Barbera 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.]

[Although made in May, this never saw release. It was shelved because of the portrayal of a super-bomb in it. It was thought to be too close a hint at the top secret atom bomb we were developing at the time.]
