    Train Lovers Will Like This One

    This is Popeye and Bluto battling it out on the train tracks: two small locomotives in a race on parallel tracks, the winner getting "the franchise" and a kiss from Olive Oyl.

    The artwork in here was the most fun in this cartoon, in my opinion. The story was okay, but nothing special but consistently entertaining. However, the best aspect were the drawings of the two trains. They showed the trains from various angles, such as from above, and it all looked pretty cool. It made the cartoon very, very interesting to view.

    As usual, Bluto does everything he can to sabotage poor Popeye's train during the race and Popeye spends most of the time trying to repair the damage. What the Sailor Man does in the end is even far-fetched for a Popeye cartoon but, hey, in animation anything is possible.

    Spinach Makes The Trains Run On Time

    Popeye and Bluto and racing their trains against each other. The winner will get the franchise and more importantly, a kiss from Olive Oyl.

    Wimpy also appears in this Fleischer cartoon, the last time he would do so for about a decade. This cartoon will appeal not just to fans of the Fleischer sailor man, with its large assortment of jokes, large and small. It will appeal to the train fan, with the appearance of A Pennsylvania S1, a streamlined beauty designed by Raymond Loewy

    Although there's nothing wrong with it, I miss the grit and grime built into the earlier Fleischer Popeye cartoons. The stuff they did in Florida is too clean for my taste.

    The railway men

    It really was amazing that the Popeye series was still going solidly in the early 40s, considering Fleischer Studios suffered a significant decline that affected the cartoons produced in this period quite badly (the worst of them were quite weak and there were a lot of average efforts). The Popeye series was the least affected by this and even the weakest early-40s Fleischer Popeye cartoons were more watchable than most of the studio's cartoons from this period.

    'Onion Pacific' is no exception. It is nowhere near close to being one of the best of the Popeye series, it is not on the same level as the best of the mid/late-30s output (one of the studio's best and most consistent periods, the odd disappointment aside). Where the best from that period were among the studio's best work in my view. It is also nowhere near close to being among the worst, it is much better than the 50s output at its worst where the decrease in quality was vast.

    There are things that could have been done better. It could have done with more freshness, with a story that is pretty formulaic and basically standard Popeye vs. Bluto. One knows from the title alone how the cartoon is going to end.

    Pinto Colvig, the original voice of Goofy and somehow it was hard to get that out of my mind, never really did it for me as Bluto. Not sinister enough and didn't sound he was having as much fun as the character's other voice actors. Other than being a reason for the action to happen, Olive didn't serve an awful lot of point here.

    However, the animation is great and makes for one of the best-looking 1940 Popeye cartoons. Love the attention to detail in the backgrounds and Popeye's character animation, and compared to the series in its early years to me the animation quality advanced quite a bit for Fleischer regarding the late-30s onwards Popeye cartoons. Some of it, even in the busier moments, were quite inventive. The music is another high-point, that was something that was consistently never less than excellent throughout the entire Popeye series (for both Fleischer Studios and Famous Studios). Very lush and characterful, adding a lot to the action.

    Which comes thick and fast, as does the energy, capped off by a wonderfully wild final third. Despite the formulaic story, it never felt dull. It also is never less than amusing, the gags are numerous and although they are not novel they are still clever and didn't feel stale. The one with the bridge is particularly good. Both Popeye and Bluto are compelling characters, Bluto having funnier material, with good comic timing and strong personalities. Jack Mercer as always nails it as Popeye, those asides and mumblings are priceless.

    In summation, not quite great but still entertaining. 7/10

    Train Battle

    Onion Pacific (1940)

    *** (out of 4)

    Popeye and Bluto are in a fierce train battle as each of them must try to reach the finish line first. Of course, this means Bluto will be cheating.

    Fans of the Popeye animated shorts will enjoy this film for what it is even though it's certainly not a classic. There's plenty of fun action throughout including some really funny stuff dealing with the cheating that Bluto does throughout the film. The highlight happens when the two trains are about to go over a bridge that is only set to take on one. As you'd expect there's a lot of nice laughs throughout and as usual the animation is terrific.

    I've Been Workin' on the Railroad

    This is pretty predictable as Popeye and Bluto compete in a train race. Of course, the big guy cheats and Popeye repairs. It's very clever as the carnage mounts. Popeye is routinely a person bound by fair play. Bluto takes advantage of this. Of course, with Popeye, violence will rule the day. Oh, Popeye's old friend spinach makes an appearance.

      The real life names of the competing railroads were Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. Though both railroads were major competitors in the state of California, they would finally merge in 1996 to become the largest railroad in the western half of the United States.
