it's fine

Popeye defends his nice home from invading termites. It's a generic story but it works. It's not really that much of a Popeye cartoon other than the fact that he's the star. The animation is fine. At least, they don't have to do Olive Oyl. It's fine and better than most Popeye cartoons during this era.

The Paramont/Famous Studios' Popeye worked best as a hero when he didn't fight Bluto

The Paramount/Famous Studios' Popeye worked best as a hero when he wasn't fighting Bluto (or some other guy) over Olive Oyl. Bluto (or the other guy) often outclassed The Sailor Man and got lots of encouragement from fickle Olive, so we sometimes felt that Popeye was the interloper, horning in on someone else's romance. Not very heroic. But here, in this picture, Popeye takes on a swarm of marauding termites in a battle of wits that would do even the Warner Brothers cartoon characters proud. And we root for Popeye the whole way. A very inventive cartoon and one of the studio's best. I paricularly liked the termites forming a jack to lift the lid off of their trash can trap.

Popeye vs the Termites

Insect to Injury (1956)

*** (out of 4)

Popeye has just completed building his dream home but things take a sour turn when a group of termites show up and they want to eat anything they can.

Fans of the Popeye series will find this short to be another winner as there are plenty of laughs throughout as well as some good action. Of course, the various highlights surround the termites doing the damage to Popeye's house as he frantically tries to stop them. This here leads to a nice sequence dealing with a lawnmower as well as some creative moments after Popeye eats his spinach.

Popeye Versus The Natural World

This episode of the long-running series of Popeye cartoons is a bit of a relief, as Popeye, having just built a house singlehandedly, is confronted not with Bluto fighting for the hand of Olive Oyl, but by toimites who..... excuse me. Termites, who wish to devour his wooden home.

It's a well done cartoon, with the little critters usually represented by a mass of black dots which erase all wooden objects. Certainly, Popeye's frustration is understandable, as are the appetites of the insects, and if they do the same thing in the same way, again and again, there are enough small variations on the theme to keep this going throughout the length of the cartoon.

Hey! Look Who's Arrived At Popeye's Home Sweet Home

"Insect To Injury" (from 1956) is one of the very-very rare Popeye cartoons where neither Olive Oyl, nor Bluto, nor even Wimpy make an appearance in the story.

This time around Popeye is plagued by a literal army of famished termites who are fiercely determined to gobble up his newly built, suburban home.

And, the question is - Can spinach help Popeye in his seemingly hopeless battle against these famished vermin?..... Well - Be sure to check out "Insect To Injury" in order to find out just how Popeye does deal with these lousy, little pests.

Trivia
Popeye is the only human being in this short. His regular supporting cast in most Famous Studios cartoons, Olive Oyl, Bluto, and his nephews, or even Swee' Pea, and Wimpy, do not appear.

Errores
After the termites consume the mailbox post, Popeye runs to his fence. Two hinges are seen on the left side of the gate, but they disappear when the gate is closed. From inside the fence, where Popeye has now pressed his body against the gate, the hinges are not seen either. For some reason, the termites do not eat the wood that matches the outline of Popeye's body, but the gate stays in place, even though its only contact with the gate posts is where Popeye's hands were, which is precisely between where the hinges had been. Despite this, the "Popeye" gate swings open as if the wood where his left fingers and left foot were acts as gate hinges. Also, when the termites ate the gate, his left foot was not in contact with the gate post.
