A Hitch in Time is a 1955 cartoon directed by Chuck Jones and produced by Warner Brothers for the United States Air Force to promote re-enlistment.
Title
The title is a play on the saying "a stitch in time saves nine."
Plot
An airman is looking forward to completing his tour of duty and becoming a civilian. A gremlin sergeant ("Grogan, technical gremlin first class") accompanies him on the way to the discharge office, ostensibly to ensure the airman doesn't decide to re-enlist. The gremlin then presents a series of arguments that superficially suggest that civilian life is better, but cumulatively favor re-enlistment. At the end, the airman re-enlists.
Availability
Notes
- This short is similar to "90 Day Wondering".
- This is the only Chuck Jones cartoon to have Gerry Chiniquy as an animator, who still did animation with Friz Freleng.
- As this short was created for the United States government, it was never copyrighted, thus it is in the public domain in the United States.
