Plot
Engage in a whimsical tour of military life with Rookie Revue, an animated saga set within the vibrant hustle and bustle of an army base. Wake up to the unique sound of reveille, not from a traditional bugle but a lively jukebox, setting the tone for the light-hearted jests to follow.
Witness the amusing struggle of a private who can't remember what comes after '3', and his subsequent decision to forgo the $32 question leaves you chuckling. The mess hall is a riot, with machine gunners using their weapon of choice to tackle their meals, while the bombers display their agility by catching plummeting biscuits.
Join the infantry as they march countless miles, the irony of a billboard encouraging train travel looming overhead. Be intrigued by the ingenious camouflage troops who march past you, their presence felt but unseen.
Training sessions are far from mundane with substitutes like wooden guns, cars posing as 'tanks', and a comically misplaced banner marked 'parachute' unveiled mid-jump. The fun continues with aerial tic-tac-toe games and the anti-aircraft division practicing their aim on a floating shooting gallery.
The grand finale is a hilarious sequence where a general meticulously directs the firing of a big gun. The punchline? The shell hits his own building, leading him to declare himself a 'baaad general'. Rookie Revue paints the everyday life of soldiers with a comic brush, making this military-themed joyride an unforgettable watch.
