Frank Tashlin’s a real master of direction in this. There are lighting effects and perspective animation. Oh, and a leggy woman in lingerie. However, back to Snafu. He realises he’s caught and tries to escape.
Snafu is stopped in every direction by a wall of bars which create a cage, taking him back to the censor who tears up his letter.
I haven’t any idea who is responsible for these scenes, but Art Davis, Izzy Ellis and Cal Dalton were in the Tashlin unit, along with George Cannata for a brief time.
The cage scene is definitely Cal Dalton - Snafu is pudgy all around. The other scenes, I'm not so sure - Tashlin's animators conform pretty well to this angular drawing and movement. If I were to guess, I'd say Art Davis or Izzy Ellis.
