The Home Front is a 1943 Private Snafu short directed by Frank Tashlin.
Plot[]
Pvt. Snafu, on the front lines in the dead of winter, complains that his family and girlfriend are probably living a comfortable life back home, imagining his father shooting pool, his mother playing bridge, his grandpa going to a strip club, and his girlfriend cheating on him. The Technical Fairy, however, shows him what they're actually doing: his father is building tanks, his mother is planting a victory garden (with the help of a talking cat and horse), his grandpa is building ships in a shipyard, and his girlfriend has joined the Women's Army Corps (WAC).
