Poopdeck Pappy (1940)

*** (out of 4)

Popeye tells his father that he's old and needs to slow down a bit. The old man says he's as young as his son so the two hit the town and trouble follows.

POOPDECK PAPPY is a pretty good entry for the series as it features Popeye at his best and the father character is also pretty good. This year saw a couple different shorts with the father character so obviously people of that time must have enjoyed it. This one here is pretty funny as the two get into some nice fights as the old man tries to pick up some ladies. As usual the animation is nice and there's no question that it moves at a very good pace.

When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious like the Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!

Pappy is 99 years old and tries to escape bedtime. Popeye will have non of it. Pappy does manage to escape but Popeye is able to track him down. Pappy escapes again and this time, causes a riot in a bar which Popeye has to clean up.

I love Pappy and Popeye is funny in this. This relationship is more real than one expects. This is one of the funnier Popeye shorts. The title is called "With Poopdeck Pappy" instead. I hope it's the right one. It's certainly one of the better ones.

Popeye's father is a high energy, stubborn being. Popeye wants him home because he is too old to be partying late at night. No matter what the son does, the old guy seems to get away. It ends up in a saloon where Pappy antagonizes everyone there. When Popeye arrives, he has a lot of cleaning up to do. That, of course, involves the used of spinach.

When Popeye tells his Pappy that he has to save his youth, does that mean he has to save his energy? 99 year old people have to sleep at night to stay healthy and strong. They also have to eat healthy. Also how did Pappy escape the second and third time when Popeye shackled his legs and tied him up? It looked unusual when Pappy escaped. How did Poopdeck Pappy get the shackles and rope onto his son after he turned off the lamp? Poopdeck Pappy is very stubborn and should listen to his son's advice. When people get old, their body isn't what it used to be. Their bones get fragile, and their not as strong as they were before.
