Featured review
"...and now, our back door is a front door to Tokyo."
This is considered part of the Private Snafu series even though he only appears briefly and with no lines. It's an animated short directed by the great Chuck Jones and features Mel Blanc doing the voices of the few characters who speak, including a seal that looks and sounds like Jimmy Durante. The purpose of the short is to inform soldiers about the harsh weather and environment of the Aleutian Islands, which are a chain of islands in the North Pacific between the United States and Russia. During the war, thousands of U.S. soldiers were stationed there. It's not as funny as some of the other Snafu shorts but it has its moments. The black & white animation is very nice and the historical aspects are interesting.
