Dove Review

Yuk, yuk, yuk! Who wouldn’t love “Popeye the Sailorman?” He smokes his pipe, chuckles, eats his spinach, and then takes care of the day with his super-human strength. In this animated set, Popeye has adventures in following ten cartoons: “Gopher Spinach,” “Insect to Injury,” “Cookin’ with Gags,” “Private Eye Popeye,” “Popeye for President,” “Out to Punch,” “Shuteye Popeye,” “A Haul in One,” “Taxi-Turvy,” and finally “Bride and Gloom.”

Popeye’s nemesis, Bluto, always gives him a run for his money, but the moment Popeye downs his can of spinach, the viewer knows that Bluto is in trouble. Both Popeye and Bluto compete for the affections of Olive Oyl, but she seems to be partial to Popeye. The various sequences in this wonderful animated set includes Popeye and a gopher fighting over his spinach and then becoming friends, with the gopher even making holes in the ground for Popeye to plant new spinach. He also deals with a mouse in his home that is quite upset with Popeye due to his loud snoring. And the final episode has Popeye engaged to Olive Oyl. But when she dreams they get married and have twins, the mischievous twins wreak havoc and, after Olive wakes up, she postpones the wedding. Popeye will have to wait a bit longer.

The episodes contain cartoon violence, with Popeye and Bluto belting one another and sometimes over fences and into the lake! Only the very young might have issues with it as it is clearly a cartoon fantasy. So although recommended for all ages, we want to note that this is not for very small children. Enjoy this DVD set and have a Popeye marathon. Make sure and bring your spinach!
