Target Snafu

Another entry in the Private Snafu series made for use by the US Army during World War II. This one's directed by Friz Freleng and focuses on malaria and soldiers taking proper safety precautions against mosquito bites. This is at least the third Snafu short I've seen about the same subject. Malaria was undoubtedly a major concern for the soldiers in the Pacific at the time. This one is mostly just a narrated series of gags about mosquitoes as their own army with enrollment, training, and battle plans. It's all very cute and fun. The black & white animation is quite nice. Snafu doesn't even show up until near the end where we get get another shot of his bare backside, one of the most frequent ways the series took advantage of its not having to worry about the Production Code's censorship.
