A [[Wartime Cartoon]] series made during the [[The Golden Age of Animation|1940s]], starring the eponymous Private Snafu<ref>An acronym for "'''S'''ituation '''N'''ormal, '''A'''ll '''F'''ucked '''U'''p"</ref> set during the struggle of [[World War II]]. Produced by [[Warner Bros]]. for the Army-Navy Screen Magazine, these cartoons showed Snafu's adventures in the Army. They usually ended with various [[Aesop|Aesops]] concerning proper military behavior, via the comfounding insipid acts of the brash but ignorant Snafu. It could be considered a [[Spin-Off]] of the [[Looney Tunes]] and [[Merrie Melodies]] series of cartoons, supported by a few cameos of [[Bugs Bunny]] and usage of [[Mel Blanc]] as the voice of the bumbling Snafu.
 
''Private Snafu'' was largely sealed away after the end of the war and was not widely seen again until [[Cartoon Network]] offered a peek at several cartoons in the late [[The Nineties|the late 1990s]]. A few shorts appeared as extras in the ''Looney Tunes: Golden Collection'' DVDs. MostOne of themthe shorts has been lost; 25 of the surviving 32 shorts are available for viewing on the Internet Archive; (links are provided in the filmography).
 
A complete chronological DVD release of the whole set of Private SNAFU cartoons newly remastered from the best extant film elements, was released by Thunderbean in December 2010.
