This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Dreadfully Boring

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The message in this "cartoon," another in the series of instructional videos to folks during World War II is "read your manuals." Obviously, this one is geared strictly for the military men. Others were for both military and civilians during the tension-filled years of World War IIThe dumb guy in the story thinks he can be a military superman without doing his homework. For example, the idiot was going to bomb Washington by mistake, thinking it was Berlin. Well, you get the message.This cartoon had a little more humor to it, at least visually, than the other two I saw in this series. Seeing "Snafuperman" doing the backstroke while flying in the air was pretty good, along with a few other sight gags.Note: I was shocked to hear a guy yell, "How the hell do you expect...." The word "hell" doesn't offend me, but hearing that in a 1944 cartoon?? What gives? Was the audio redone on this?

This film, like all Pvt. Snafu films, was designed to be shown to Allied troops to illustrate various points in a humorous and watchable way. Because the audience was made up exclusively of adult men, most of the Snafu cartoons abound with colorful language and sexual innuendo--except for this one (if you exclude what the acronym S.N.A.F.U. stands for). This seems like a "nicer" version of the cartoon series made by Looney Toons and it is still pretty entertaining.In this toon, Snafu's fairy godfather appears and turns him into "Snafuperman" so he can single-handedly battle the Axis. Unfortunately, despite having muscles and the ability to fly, Snafu is just as stupid as ever. Because he never bothered to read his manuals or maps, he nearly blows up the Capitol building instead of Berlin and fails miserably in his attempt to thwart a Nazi bombing raid.The cartoon is very well-made and good fun. And, even though we are not the target audience, it's something I recommend you try.

SNAFUperman is a piece of American history. These short cartoons would be good little spoofs on their own but are now a great way of showing Americas use of propaganda in the second world war.Private Snafu a private in WWII is turned into SNAFUperman(A pun on Superman) by his technical fairy, first class. He refuses to read his manuals and by god it shows. The whole point is that Superman is fictional and it'll take more than Supermen to win the war.These cartoons are little treasures and should be saved for future generations. I used SNAFUperman as a great source in learning about attitudes towards the war not in my home country of England but in those far away from me.Perfect

Here we find that paragon of soldierly virtue, Private Snafu, convinced that all that malarkey about "Enemy Recognition" and reading training manuals is a waste of time. He becomes Snafuperman (a parody of Superman) and discovers it isn't as simple as he thinks. Very good military training film done by the Warner Brothers animation department for the war effort. Well worth watching. Recommended.
