We continue our chronological examination of the Fleischer Popeye cartoons with the year 1934, when the order went up to a whopping 12 cartoons per season! Join us as we examine how the directors and animators expanded upon Popeye's acting range and figured out pretty quickly what did and didn't work for the character. New locales and cinematics, more roles for Wimpy and Bluto, a permanent voice for Olive Oyl, and recollections from Dave Tendlar and Myron Waldman are among the highlights.
Cartoons discussed:
Sock-a-Bye Baby, Let's You and Him Fight, The Man on the Flying Trapeze, Can You Take It, Shoein' Hosses, Strong to the Finich, Shiver Me Timbers!, Axe Me Another, A Dream Walking, The Two-Alarm Fire, The Dance Contest, and We Aim to Please.
