This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Apparently the Private Snafu was a regular when it came to films warning soldiers of danger. The goofy Private can't quite get the message that when he lets his emotions and hormones take over, his next act may be his last. He is tempted by hidden land mines, exploding pianos, nubile women, on and on. Of course, he is an absolute idiot because he is warned frequently and can't wait to get himself done in. Some of my Vietnam War friends told of unique types of traps positioned by the enemy, most of which worked on the kindness and compassion of some of the American soldiers. I may check another of these Snafu things out at a later time.

. . . boobs being chief among them, this U.S. taxpayer-funded Pvt. Snafu mind-control animated short indoctrinated millions of men drafted into the American military during the height of World War Two in 1944. Even milk-laden camel teats present deadly danger for America's privates, BOOBY TRAPS documents. But it's inside a desert bordello that Snafu meets his doom, as some if not all of the Professional Ladies (or strumpets) there sport bombs where their boobs should be. BLONDE BOMBSHELL was an actual title for one of buxom Jean Harlow's 1930s flicks, so U.S. citizens already knew enough to beware of Bra Stuffers prior to Hitler's shenanigans. However, a close viewing of ALL Pvt. Snafu episodes reveals a common theme: Hetero Sex in general is a very threatening thing. Perhaps this is because the Looney Tuners behind Snafu recognized that the Advent of the Population Bomb would eclipse the Atomic Bomb and the subsequent Hydrogen- or H-Bomb as a roadblock to Humanity's continued Progress.

"Booby Traps" is another 4-minute cartoon from the days of World War II and it features Snafu again, the world's most incompetent soldier. Like all the other, it is black-and-white once again. In this one, Snafu keeps running into one booby trap after the other while always telling us that he can spot them instantly when he sees them. Not a really funny watch with the exception of one scene: the connection between women's boobs and booby traps. I really cannot believe Clampett went there. pretty hilarious moment. Snafu is voiced again by the legendary Mel Blanc, but even for him, not everyone can be a winner. This was not a particularly good or entertaining watch. I suggest you watch some other better Mel Blanc cartoon. There's enough out there.

Another episode in the saga of Private Snafu-the dimmest bulb in the Army. This Rhodes scholar is more dangerous to his own unit than he is to the enemy! Entertaining series of training films done during World War II. Here Snafu comes agonizingly close repeatedly to well-deserved destruction, only to be saved by the good fortune the universe seems to extend all too often to idiots. Hilarious ending which is quite apropos. The sad thing is there probably were Private Snafus in real life. I know people who make Snafu seem like Einstein! Well worth watching. Most recommended.
