This is Poopdeck Pappy's second appearance in a cartoon (as Popeye's fairy godfather).
The modern carriage given to Popeye is a state of the art 1950s stretch convertible.
Princess Olive wears a similarly styled and hued gown to the one that appeared in the Disney animated film Cendrillon (1950).
As Popeye enters Olive's ball, he is announced as "Cinderfella". Less than a decade later, the Jerry Lewis film Cendrillon aux grands pieds (1960) had a similar premise.
Olive borrows a famous line from rival cartoon character Pepe Le Pew of Warner Brothers, "Take me to the Casbah."
