Trivia / Private Snafu

• Missing Episode:
  • Going Home was never officially released because the MacGuffin resembled the atomic bomb the military was going to use on Japan (it did appear on the Cartoon Network show ToonHeads centered on Private Snafu's cartoons, and is included in video collections).
  • One planned Snafu short, "Secrets Of The Pacific", was actually fully animated and delivered to the army, but it was never released before the war ended, making it the subject of many Epileptic Trees.
• Production Posse: Some shorts saw Dr. Seuss collaborate with Chuck Jones, who'd later direct the TV specials based on Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and Horton Hears a Who!. Others saw Seuss collaborate with Friz Freleng, who'd later produce all of Seuss' TV specials from 1971's The Cat in the Hat to 1982's The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat. A couple were directed by Bob Clampett, who directed the first ever Seuss adaptation, Horton Hatches the Egg, as part of the Merrie Melodies series.^note Poetically, WB's 1996 acquisition of the Turner library (which included the pre-1986 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer library) gave them the Seuss/Jones specials, and 2011 saw them gain the Freleng specials as well.
