Private Snafu vs. Malaria Mike is an animated short film, directed by Chuck Jones and first released in March 1944. It features Private Snafu facing a malaria-transmitting mosquito.

In the Pacific War, the lack of mosquito control measures had caused malaria to reach epidemic status. Entire infected units had to be evacuated before actually experiencing combat. Early in the war, it was estimated that malaria caused eight to ten times as many casualties as the battlefield. In 1943, James C. Magee, Surgeon General of the United States Army, created special units to plan and carry out malaria control. The same year, Douglas MacArthur issued orders concerning malaria control measures. Among them was raising the shipping priority of anti-malaria supplies, providing troops with prophylactic drugs (quinine and atabrine) and mosquito repellents, and training troops in the importance of malaria.

Tom and Jerry, also known as Dick and Larry in Official Films cartoons, produced by Amadee Van Beuren, was a series of short cartoons released by RKO Radio Pictures between 1931 and 1933. Each cartoon placed them in a new situation or occupation; the pair sang, danced and used musical effects and gags.

The characters are not related to MGM’s later cat‑and‑mouse team; instead they are a human comedy team: a tall, thin character (Tom) and a short, plump partner (Jerry) – a combination animation historians describe as “Mutt and Jeff-ish”.

Popeye the Sailor Man is a cartoon character created by Elzie Crisler Segar, first appearing on January 17, 1929, in the daily King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre. The strip was in its tenth year when Popeye made his debut, but the one-eyed sailor quickly became the lead character, and Thimble Theatre became one of King Features’ most popular properties during the early 1930s.

In November 1932, King Features signed an agreement with Fleischer Studios to have Popeye and the other Thimble Theatre characters begin appearing in a series of animated cartoons released by Paramount Pictures. The first cartoon in the series was released in 1933, and Popeye cartoons remained a staple of Paramount’s release schedule for nearly 25 years. Billy Costello was the original voice of Popeye, a voice that was replicated by later performers, such as Jack Mercer and even Mae Questel. Many of the Thimble Theatre characters, including Wimpy, Poopdeck Pappy, and Eugene the Jeep, eventually made appearances in the Paramount cartoons, though Olive Oyl’s extended family and Ham Gravy were absent. Thanks to the animated-short series, Popeye became even more of a sensation than he had been in comic strips, and by 1938, polls showed that the sailor was Hollywood’s most popular cartoon character.

Bright Lights is a 1928 silent cartoon short by the Walt Disney Studio and Winkler Productions featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. It is among the few short films of the series Walt Disney himself worked on before leaving that same year.

Previously in 1927, Oswald had an oval face, a chubbier waist, and pants with a single suspender. By 1928, he is given a makeover with a rounder head, slimmer waist, and shorts. Despite this change, the rabbit’s 1927 appearance remained on the title cards until High Up. His shorts would be his only outfit until 1930.
