Overview

In a departure from the usual Terrytoon, this short is based on predictions of things to come in the world after the end of World War II. It primarily deals with, in a comedy sense, what every "G.I." Jonnny can expect when he returns home to civilian life.

    A rather simple animation starting with a rendition of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" that serves as a musical bed throughout as the soldiers return from WWII to a nation where they will have jobs, full fridges, cars and washing machines. There are a few less propagandist scenes here too - a bra as a parachute, a rooster who is in so much "demand" he has to barricade himself inside the hen house and there is that washing machine! It looks more likely to remove a limb than a stain. Essentially, though, this is just a rather blatant piece of, probably essential by this point, post-war optimism...
