Featuring Private Snafu in honor of Pearl Harbor Day




















It is interesting to note that some of the shorts were written by Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel.
Private Snafu, a character created by Frank Capra, starred in a series of cartoon shorts produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II.   Although the Army first offered Disney the task of creating the cartoons, Warner Bros. underbid Disney by two-thirds and won the contract.
