Three Brothers is part of thePrivate Snafu series of animated shorts produced byWarner Bros. duringWorld War II. Screened for troops in September 1944, the cartoon was directed byFriz Freleng and features the familiar voice ofMel Blanc.[1]
A series of cartoons for the Navy featuring Private Snafu's brother "Seaman Tarfu" were planned, but the war came to a close and the project never materialized, save for a single cartoon entitled Private Snafu Presents Seaman Tarfu in the Navy.[2]
Private Snafu is seen performing the tedious task of sorting boots. Driven to madness by boredom he is taken to visit his brothers, SeamanTarfu andFubar by the gruff Technical Fairy, First Class, somewhat in the spirit ofEbenezer Scrooge and the Ghosts of Christmas. Brother Tarfu is seen tending to every need ofcarrier pigeons while brother Fubar is the unlucky dummy used in training attack dogs. After seeing his brothers' terrible jobs Private Snafu returns to work with gusto, exclaiming that his job is important.
In a scene where Fubar gets chased by attack dogs,Bugs Bunny makes an appearance inside his rabbit hole. Fubar places Bugs next to his hole and hides inside it. He does not speak in this short.
