MartinHafer During WWII, the US military commissioned some wonderful cartoons that were meant to be shown to the troops--not the folks at home. The Private Snafu films were a wonderfully funny series--done in black & white and filled with rather adult humor--and they can be downloaded for from from archive.org--a site often linked to by IMDb."A Hitch in Time" is a reworking of the Snafu films--and it's very obvious to any Snafu fan when you see this 1955 Warner Brothers short. The character looks similar and Technical Fairy First Class from the original films is now a SIMILAR looking character but he's now a gremlin who tries to steer Snafu into trouble--not the other way around.So you'd think this would be a clever film, right? No...not really. This film (designed for recruitment and re-enlistment purposes) really lacks the humor and seems to be a very sanitized version of a once-great series. Pretty dull, actually.
