Six Little Jungle Boys

Six Little Jungle Boys (1945, Flash Video 08:45). "...The vibrant animation of Halas and Batchelor is the vehicle for a rather unsavoury message from the War Office aimed at troops in the Far East. The antics of six sprightly soldiers stationed in the jungle illustrate with humour and clarity the pitfalls of poor personal hygiene. One collapses with dysentery after drinking unfiltered pond water, whilst another is tempted by an attractive woman, only to end up in hospital with venereal disease. The last soldier standing is left to take on the Japanese single-handedly, which he pulls off with great aplomb, leading to a medal for valour."
