What is sad is people will take things out of context and omit important details to push an agenda. Thank you for presenting this biography responsibly. Public culture has the right to evolve and not be judged harshly to only stir up resentment. What is sad is, all cultures and nations would use stereotypes and had a kind of bigotry towards their adversaries.
The cartoonists at "Termite Terrace" (Warner Brothers) said that they made their cartoons for themselves (I'm paraphrasing here). I still watch Looney Tunes & find jokes that slipped past me in my younger years.
I have a big book of early Dr Seuss political cartoons from his WWII days. It has work by some other artists as well, but it’s real interesting seeing the same art style as “The Cat in the Hat” being used to show Hitler failing to plug a leaky dam keeping Democracy at bay.
Other Vault, just a heads-up: I've seen several people gripe that their historical videos got demonetized without warning or explanation, but they ultimately figured out that UA-cam's bots recognized a 1940s symbol that's half visible in the thumbnail. The thumb shouldn't be an issue, but you might wanna crop or put a blur filter on a few shots in the video and re-upload this. It's clearly seen at 9:40-something, 10:18, and probably elsewhere.
It's truly amazing at how UA-cam content creators have stepped up to the garbage that Hollywood produces. This is top tier UA-cam quality. Keep up the phenomenal work and thank you for all the time and effort you put into this.
What I find really interesting about the Private SNAFU shorts is, although they're literal propaganda, the depictions of Japanese culture portrayed in them, shows a greater level of accuracy and care than what you see in modern "Japan and China are the same thing, right?" cartoons. Like, they correctly show people bowing with a straight back with arms at their sides, rather than the "both hands held together" bow that's actually from Thailand, which is typically used in American cartoons.
I used to go to my grandparents house often, and my grandfather, who was a WWII vet, used to put on recordings of old cartoons for me. It wasn't until i grew up a bit that i realized most of what i watched were old propaganda cartoons. I don't think it was intentional, they were older, obviously, so they would get these tapes of cartoons that were familiar to them. It just happened to be that much of it was war time cartoons. So i grew up in the 80s knowing a lot of these. Aside a very 1960s style house, 2 tier fiberglass lampshades, rounded doorways, and wooden radios, my memories of them are filled with sitting near a big wooden box TV and classic cartoons. I'm glad i got to experience that.
I always have to laugh a little whenever I see old file footage of large numbers of Japanese soldiers from the era and realize that they are almost all extremely short and MANY of them have the trade mark "buck teeth" and small round glasses that the stereotype portrays them with. Point being, the propaganda posters were far more accurate than people would like to admit.
@@smgdfcmfah That's sort of how they do all cartoon characters, and they do it to everyone, even celebrities, they exaggerate (or don't) the details. I get that sometimes it's meant to be 'unflattering', but it's like these days... people *want* so desperately to be offended. For example, all the brands that had to change packaging, that sort of thing. Worse than children, make a bid deal out of everything, get overly emotional about it. I think a lot of people now miss the entire point too, of propaganda, it's still used around the world in different forms. Some people cannot understand history, they learn nothing.
I watched all these Snafu cartoons, and while humorous they did teach American soldiers what not to do. Remember that there were still soldiers in the army, navy, ECT who could not really read, and these cartoons were used to teach them. My favorite one is about taking care of your weapons. Think that would be very helpful.
Saw a similar book like Godivas in my dad's book shelf, in his personal office. Couldn't read back then, but that's an image you'll never forget. That, and a lot of other items vanished off that shelf, the day my parents realized a 3 and a half year old can stack furniture to reach whatever they want😂
18:08 yooo a 500 Fingers reference?? Had it on VHS as a kid and loved it. So surreal and the music is implemented so well. Never put together that it was an allegory about conscription until now, really hope this means youre gonna dive into it in a future vid
My father was in the Navy (South Pacific) in WW2. A part of what he did in his duties in mine disposal / disarming was to be in training films about such. I'd love to see his films, if they still exist. I HAVE seen some still photos from them.
My two most favorite books and animations were Bartholomew and the 500 hats, and Ooblek. Ooblek fascinated me because I saw it only days after I had seen the origional Blob movie, which gave me nightmares for weeks😅
It was not classified because of whatever style cartoom he made, private snafu for example was made and used by the USA military, thats why it was classified, it was specifically for their exclusive use.
Yep. People keep calling these cartoons banned or classified because of how raunchy they were but no they were made by the request of the government to train the new recruits back in a time when most of them would be illiterate. We also taught airmen to navigate with the stars by putting constellations overplayed on pinup girls.
Well, there was zero chance that these could have been released widely under the Hays Code at that time. Absolutely would have been banned for their raunchy content. But obviously wide release wasn't the intention here.
I watched a WW2 training video here on UA-cam several years ago for operating a side gun on a bomber. Lots of physics about how bullets fired from a moving plane work, what attack angles fighters used, and what effective aiming principles to use. All in an entertaining package. Just the kind of training material you don't want to fall into enemy hands, but 70 years later not a big deal.
What I personally find MOST remarkable about this period in history was just HOW many future legends actually crossed paths with each other; Seuss and Warner Bros., (ostensibly Chuck Jones) Disney and Roald Dahl, the list goes on! At least one nice thig we can look back on from this time was how a single cause (a world-war) rallied the whole nation together, if only for a little while. =)
I remember seeing some Private SNAFU art painted on some WWII military equipment in some of the museums in Europe as a kid. When I got back state side people has not seen them and the films were not out to the public so I buttoned my lips as it were till they did get released in the 60's. However many did not see them till they were rereleased on the 50th anniversary of each being made.
1:30 The 2000's Cat in the Hat movie was absolutely BRILLIANT! 😂 Sure, it had basically nothing to do with the original work, but as a super weird, super raunchy Mike Myers comedy film bizarrely marketed towards children, it's actually pretty great. The dirty hoe joke still slays. 🤣
I have a DVD of war time cartoons with Private Snafu & Mr. Hook. A few of the cartoons have commentaries by animation historians. And then some have completely useless ones by John Kricfalusi with a girl "animation student" and some other guy. They have zero interesting information. John K. just says things like "Chuck Jones's Mr. Hook cartoons are gay because they don't have enough naked ladies in them," while the "animation student" giggles. At the time I listened to the commentary I wondered why the heck that "animation student" was even there. Now we know the disturbing truth. (I don't remember the name of the girl, or if she was one of the ones who went public with their allegations.)
My goodness, my goodness. A friend does return. The Other Vault has come, a lesson we must learn. For he brings two things; entertain and great truth. The truth about the toons of one good ol' Dr. Seuss. Come sit, like, surbscribe and more. For we shall see what TOV has in store!

As someone who has recently moved to Springfield MA I live near the mulberry street down the road from the Suess Museum. wanna know what I saw on mulberry street? Hypodermic needles. Hypodermic needles everywhere. It's kind of crazy it's like a game of finding the hay and the hypodermic needle stack. Me and seuss definitely didn't see the same thing that's for sure
Dr. Suess' films - which made absolutely no sense - were locked away in the studio vault never to be released. as for Dr. Suess himself - who made even less sense - he was locked away in the studio water tower ALSO never to be released.
I have a copy of a book that was compiled by a college professor called Dr. Seuss Goes To War It is full of his wartime material... Also his Seven Sisters Godiva (adult rated material) These books are a recomended read for any Dr. Seuss adult fan
"Our Friend The Atom". Describing that discovering atomic energy was like letting a Genie out of it's bottle, and could be used for constructive purposes, not just atomic bombs.
USA's military force during WW2 exceeded FIFTEEN MILLION (not all at the same time), making it one of the largest (possibly THE largest) military forces in all human history, peaking at 12.2 million at the same time.
Dr. Suess goes to war is a great book. It has alot of great art and is a neat look at the time period. Alot of the army instructional comics were reprinted and are available if you look for them. They also do Dr.Seuss art exhibits with his paintings and sculptures that i totally recomend seeing if you can. The art is amazing.
I didn't know that Seuss wrote for Snafu. I knew about Snafu being made by the Looney Tunes crew... But, yeah, didn't know. Shouldn't be too surprising, since they made a Looney Tunes adaptation of Horton Hatches the Egg.
Aw Private SNAFU The F needed to be censored even then SNAFU Stands for Situation Normal All Fouled Up. Oh I'm early on this one. Private SNAFU was meant for the War effort, WWII. Yeah The less said about Mike Myers as The Cat in The Hat, The better. The first SNAFU episode I saw was the one where he had a secret followed by a little to much to drink, And Hitler was Satan. Hey he knew Stan Lee, Stan was also on an episode of Tell The Truth. 16:26 "He who attacks America shall die!" Does this include The 45th President and First King of America?
SNAFU was a common "word"(being an anacronym) in the WWII military, as was FUBAR. The "F" might have stood, in both, for "fouled" in POLITE society, but that wasn't the word the GRUNTS used! BTW, as far as I know, those same anacronyms are still part of the military lexicon today, for the same reasons, and with the same "F" words
@@mikegrossberg8624 Yeah I know that the "F" is an F Bomb, and FUBAR was used in the Film Tango & Cash (1989) Starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell, So yeah still used today.
@@LittleJoeTheMoonlightCat And for some reason, "fubar" is used as a variable name in computer programming tutorials. EIther that or two variables named "foo" and "bar".
Hi do you know that Dr. Seuss is now on carnivals now on each one of them and they are doing remembering all of the army all the cruise people who do the sea and every single one from the army of everything. Did you know that and everything that they’re doing for the carnival is for Saint Judes

The other reason Disney never produced Pvt. SNAFU cartoons was the fact Walt wanted license ownership of the character.

Shouldn't be too surprising, since they made a Looney Tunes adaptation of Horton Hatches the Egg.
Good job with the narration.
Hi, I am Blam. Blam I am. He will blam his enemies here or there, he will blam most anywhere. (I really need to animated this spoof😂)
How could you cut off the Grinch before his ears were done uncurling?! You monster 👿
Check out the Dr. Suess, or Theodore Geisel museum in New Orleans.
Love that Rocketeer helmet
First swear juuuust after the 1:00-mark: very well done! 1:02
Very well made documentary!
Thanks so much!
Dr Suess was definitely a man of culture.
I forgot about snafu lol thanks for reminding me
6:59 Too bad there weren't more people like Seuss before November 5th 2024. :(
Did not know he was involved in 5000 Fingers... :)
What's that jazz tune playing during your Factor advertisement?
Aw Private SNAFU The F needed to be censored even then SNAFU Stands for Situation Normal All Fouled Up. Oh I'm early on this one. Private SNAFU was meant for the War effort, WWII. Yeah The less said about Mike Myers as The Cat in The Hat, The better. The first SNAFU episode I saw was the one where he had a secret followed by a little to much to drink, And Hitler was Satan. Hey he knew Stan Lee, Stan was also on an episode of Tell The Truth. 16:26 "He who attacks America shall die!" Does this include The 45th President and First King of America?
Remember the USS Liberty.
SNAFU was a common "word"(being an anacronym) in the WWII military, as was FUBAR.
The "F" might have stood, in both, for "fouled" in POLITE society, but that wasn't the word the GRUNTS used!
BTW, as far as I know, those same anacronyms are still part of the military lexicon today, for the same reasons, and with the same "F" words
@@mikegrossberg8624 Yeah I know that the "F" is an F Bomb, and FUBAR was used in the Film Tango & Cash (1989) Starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell, So yeah still used today.
@@LittleJoeTheMoonlightCat And for some reason, "fubar" is used as a variable name in computer programming tutorials. EIther that or two variables named "foo" and "bar".
The Dr pronounced his name to rhyme with voice.
Ever hear of, "The Seven Lady Godivas"?
EDIT: 6:16 Nevermind, there it is.😅
These are great. I love SNAFU. Btw, you look a lot like David Lister. Last man alive. Can you do a Scouser accent? Do you like curries?
Love the helmet in the background
THE THUMBNAIL IS CRAZY! the cat has more rizz than me :(
I love dr Suess dark art b4 his well known art
Oh baby Oh yeah that's what she said.
1:09 Is that Robin Williams? 13:00 He sounds just like Bugs Bunny.
Yep - totally is Robin Williams! Was wondering if anyone would spot him.
Well, they can release them nowadays
Anyone eating FACTOR for dinner is a FOOL.
At 11:40 ...I was in the military for 27 years...there is a reason he delayed saying "fouled"...I think you know...The original word is "F*cked"
Isn't that actually a picture of Stan Lee at ~1:55?
Hi do you know that Dr. Seuss is now on carnivals now on each one of them and they are doing remembering all of the army all the cruise people who do the sea and every single one from the army of everything. Did you know that and everything that they’re doing for the carnival is for Saint Judes
