We go back to the oasis of primo Popeye in the important season 1937, with all three of the animation units firing on all (two) cylinders; Willard Bowsky takes the sailor to new literal heights, Seymour Kneitel gives more Swee'pea for Popeye's troubles, and Dave Tendlar teaches Bluto to be kind to aminals (fun game: take a shot every time we call Bluto a dick). Animation switches from 1's to 2's, the studio sees a strike that was a direct result of Popeye's success, and perhaps the greatest Popeye cartoon of all (at least of the two-reel kind) is released that shows these guys were certainly ready for features - much more so that the actual features the Fleischers made!

Cartoons discussed:

- The Paneless Window Washer
- Organ Grinder's Swing
- My Artistical Temperature
- Hospitaliky
- The Twisker Pitcher
- Morning, Noon and Night Club
- Lost and Foundry
- I Never Changes My Altitude
- I Likes Babies and Infinks
- The Football Toucher Downer
- Protek the Weakerist
- Fowl Play
- Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves

Do you know which Fleischer Popeye has the scene where Bluto yells "Shut up you pop-eyed freak!" I haven't seen it in years but Gus Wickie's delivery of that line absolutely killed me as a kid

Another year of home runs and another epic. Was there any consideration by Paramount or the studio to produce a full length Popeye feature? Ali Baba really feels like it could have been one. I can imagine how different animation history could have been if that went up against Snow White as a competing feature.

I'm glad to hear someone else mention "Ali Baba's 40 Thieves" as their favorite Popeye cartoon as well. It's my favorite too, and IMHO, the better film than "Sinbad the Sailor."

I love the variety of stunts the boys pull in "I Likes Babies and Infinks" too. It's great seeing them just being goofy ... before descending into the inevitability fisticuffs. Even the expected "spinach moment" gets subverted. But it also fills me with dread of the upcoming "Puttin on the Act" when you reach 1940. What an awful slog of unfunny bits that cartoon was. If someone described the entire thing and left out the character's names, you'd never even know it was a Popeye cartoon!

I don't think a Popeye feature was ever seriously considered, although it's rumored Popeye was intended for the Gulliver role.

I think once the West Coast writers arrive in Miami, it kind of poisons the well for much of the series.

I’ve really enjoyed these episodes so far. “The Paneless Window Washer” is one of my favorites from the Fleischers. An interesting detail at around the 4:42 mark, it sounds like Bluto is saying “Go to hell!” as he beats up Popeye. I don’t know if this could be confirmed. If it is, I’d be amazed that it slipped by! Otherwise it’s a fantastic cartoon. Keep up the great work!

Was watching Popeye Meets Ali Baba on the Fleischer Studios Twitch channel and I just realized that Wimpy does the Wiffle Piffle walk after he sees his mirage.
