Multiple Snafus

Ben Washam treats us to more stretch in-betweens in No Buddy Atoll, a 1945 Snafu cartoon for the Army/Navy Screen Magazine.

Snafu and a Japanese naval officer inspect each other’s dog tags then both realise who the other guy is—the enemy!



The soundtrack plays “Tea For Two” in the background of this scene. Later in the cartoon, one of the chase tunes is the Paramount-owned “I’ve Got Spurs That Jingle, Jangle, Jingle” which showed up in all kinds of Paramount-owned cartoons.

Since this is the Chuck Jones unit of Warners at work, Ken Harris and Bobe Cannon likely animated portions of this cartoon as well.

    The soundtrack to this short is quite rich, with a lot of recognizable tunes used very well. Along with the quasi-silent "Pay Day," some of Stalling's best work in the Snafu series.
