One of the best of the Billy Costello Popeye shorts

This Fleischer Studios short is very clever and funny. Popeye and Olive go to a theater to watch Bluto the Hypnotist and hilarity ensues when a skeptical Popeye distracts Bluto, leading to a series of gags which get better and better until our hero calls upon his magic vegetable. A must for any lover of classic animation.

This was one of the last shorts that had Costello voicing Popeye. He soon wore out his welcome at Fleischer Studios with excessive demands that led to his firing. I always preferred Jack Mercer's version of Popeye (more wit and less brass), but this is one of the best with Costello, helped greatly by Gus Wickie, who was, by far, the best Bluto voice.

Olive chicken

Popeye and Olive Oyl go to see The Great Hypnotist. She loses the coin flip and has to pay the admission. There are various magic tricks. Popeye distracts the performer and ruins a trick. Olive Oyl gets pulled into the act and hypnotized to be a chicken. Popeye grows tired of the humiliation and fights back.

It's really funny that she's a chicken. That's a great gag at the cartoon's expense. This is all fine but I just have one question. Is it gentlemanly to do the coin flip? It seems like a bad boyfriend move or it could be a cute private ritual. I don't know. I don't have the balls to try it.

*** (out of 4)

Popeye and Olive go to see a hypnotist and once there he puts Olive under a spell, which doesn't sit too well with her boyfriend. The entire running gag of this short is that the hypnotist keeps putting Popeye under various spells to where he thinks he is various animals and this small gag works well enough for several laughs with the best coming when Popeye thinks he is a donkey. The animation is very nice throughout and it all leads up to Popeye pulling out the spinach to get even.

On DVD from Warner.

And Levitator

Popeye and Olive Oyl go to see Bluto in his stage show. He's a hypnotist who also makes things levitate. After Popeye distracts him, he makes Olive come on stage and hypnotizes her into thinking she's a chicken. After the sailor man objects, he and Bluto get into it.

It's all a lot of fun, even if the typical plot of the Popeye cartons for the next couple of decades was settling into concrete. Particularly under the Fleischers, there would be occasional effort to make other sorts of stories, usually adventurous ones, but it was too easy to redo the same thing over and again, concentrating on some variety in the gags. Here the gags are very good.

Popeye Can "Stands No More"

That's all I can stand 'cause I can't stands no more!"

That'a line Popeye would use many times over in the hundreds of cartoons after this one, but it's first used here as he watches a hypnotist on stage make a fool out of Olive. Miss Oyl is made to imitate a chicken by the hypnotist, our old buddy Bluto, who is "The Great Hypnotist" in this episode.

When Popeye's had enough, he jumps on stage and the cartoon really gets wild after that with both guys making total fools of the other....and the packed audience loving every minute.

This was a humorous Popeye, entertaining all the way.

As Bluto makes the drum rise from the orchestra pit, the snoozing percussionist bears a striking resemblance to Charlie Chaplin, right down to the over-sized shoes.
