Popeye - Bride and Gloom - 1954 - 7 minutes
- Another classic Popeye - Popeye is going to marry Olive
Oyl tomorrow! Then both have nightmares about the pending
union and get cold feet. What will happen to the couple -
see for yourself! Popeye makes a rare film appearance
wearing a suit in the wedding ceremony sequence. Popeye
and Olive have two children in this episode (they appear
in Olive's dream), the only theatrical cartoon in which
Popeye is (or, at least, appears to be) married.
Popeye - A Haul in One - 1956
- 5 minutes, 40 seconds - Popeye and Bluto are partners in
a moving company (Popeye and Bluto Movers). Their
friendship quickly dissolves when they catch sight of
their newest client, Olive Oyl. The two engage in a
contest to see who can pack and move Olive's belongings
most efficiently. One of the movers outclasses the other,
is attacked by his disgruntled partner, but pulls out a
victory thanks to a timely dose of spinach. Guess which
one. A remake of the Max Fleischer Popeye cartoon, Let's Get Movin'.
Popeye - Ancient
Fistory - 1953 - 7 minutes - A spoof
of Cinderella. In Ye Olden Times, a ball is being held to
find a suitable husband for Princess Olive. Bluto sets out
to the party, leaving his abused servant, Popeye, behind
to scrub the floors of Bluto's Beanery. Popeye's fairy
godfather appears, whips up a suit of fancy clothes, turns
a can of spinach into a muscle car and Popeye's clothing
into a dashing outfit, and delivers the usual warning
about everything changing back at midnight. At the ball,
Bluto makes progress with Olive, but she is smitten with
Popeye when he makes his entrance. Olive proposes an
archery contest to win her hand, but it's inconclusive.
They then resort to a duel, but Bluto, with his usual
subtlety, blows Popeye away with a cannon. As Bluto chases
Princess Olive around the palace ("Get thee away from me,
ye brute!"), Popeye's car reverts to a can of spinach. He
eats it, creates a horse and suit of armor out of nothing,
and rescues the princess. Features a cameo by Poopdeck
Pappy as Popeye's Fairy Godfather. The final appearance of
Poopdeck Pappy, and the second of only two in a Famous
Studios cartoon. New Popeye theme music and opening
graphics probably began with this cartoon.
Popeye - Spree Lunch - 1957 - 7 minutes -
Competing diner owners Popeye and Bluto stimulate the
appetite of their first customer, Wimpy, to get him to
lunch in their respective restaurants. As usual, Wimpy has
to borrow money from them to eat. Guess who ends up eating
all the profits of their tasty business. A color remake of
Max Fleischer's We Aim To Please. Final appearance of J.
Wellington Wimpy and Bluto in a theatrical cartoon.

interests of self-preservation, the rabbit devotes his
entire night to keeping the dog awake in a variety of
creative ways.
Cheese Burglar
- 1940 - 7 minutes - Herman the mouse hasn't eaten in 29
days - he's gotta do something, but the cat and the dog
are guarding the fridge. Then Herman tells them cats and
dogs are mortal enemies, so they can kill each other, and
