The very first appearance of Private Snafu, the unwitting best weapon-for the enemy.

The Private Snafu series was composed of training films made by various animators, directors and writers working for the Warner Brothers animation department (I think MGM did a couple, but mostly it was the boys from Termite Terrace) and they revolved around the worst soldier in the Army. The name Snafu is derived from an acronym of the phrase, "Situation Normal-All Fouled Up" (this is the more socially acceptable variant) and quite aptly describes our "hero". This short serves as an introduction to the series, which was shown solely to the troops and is thus more risqué and the content quite often coarser and more colorful, like the standard version of the above-mentioned acronym. Excellent series well worth watching. Most recommended.

Enjoyable but way too short

The Private Snafu films were clearly made to be seen by soldiers and not by the general public. The dirty jokes, sexual innuendos and language is relatively tame today but never would have been allowed in the regular theaters due to the Production Code. But, such off-color remarks went over very well with the enlisted men and helped to illustrate important information in a humorous and memorable fashion.

This is the very first Snafu cartoon and it is very short--almost like a teaser film. It introduces the character, gives the audience a few jokes AND explains what S.N.A.F.U. stands for--though the word "fouled" is substituted for the actual F-word! As I said above, this is definitely an adult cartoon compared to the standard films made by Warner Brothers. If there was any problem with COMING!! SNAFU is that it's just too short, though it definitely gets the viewer interested in seeing more.

Introduction of the clumsy idiot soldier

"Coming!! Snafu" is not really a film on its own. It is more of an introduction to the other films starring this character. He is a good guy, but a horribly untalented soldier unfortunately. It's a black-and-white cartoon directed by Chuck Jones starring Mel Blanc and Frank Graham. I guess they thought now that it was war, it's time to entertain the forces with one of them as a character. I hope they weren't offended. This short film here was not particularly entertaining in my opinion and I do not recommend seeing it. Jones and Blanc have done way superior works during that time already. Thumbs down for this Snafu introduction. only good thing, we find out what the name stands for.
