Popeye the Sleuthing Man
September 19th, 2006
Yesterday we showed scenes from Popeye’s first screen appearance — today we’ve zoomed ahead to screen a slick 1950’s incarnation of you know who in “Private Eye Popeye.” Seymour Kneitel directs, and everything just keeps moving along at such a fast clip, before the cartoon is half over we’ve covered something like three continents! One memorable running gag has to do with introducing a limited color pallet (no, really!) and another bit features, far and away, Popeye’s most successful episode of cross dressing!
It’s Popeye-a-thon Week all over here at ReFrederator.

Weird timing with the whole E.Coli Spinach Outbreak and the Popeye-A-thon, of which I have most thoroughly been enjoying. (the Popeye-A-thon, not a healthy dosing of E.Coli saturated spinach.)

The chase was awfully close to one of the early Droopy cartoons. I liked the backgrounds in the foreign sequences a lot. Well, Hawaii as a desert island is a bit lame. I also liked the sense of exaggeration in the colors whenever the emerald was uncovered.
