the spinach

Before spinach was garlic. Before Popeye was Hercules. And all can be reduced for the pledge for healthy food from an uncle exaspered by his nephews appetite for...ice cream. So, nice adventures, a lot of clorophorme and nice but so unfair end for the efforts of poor uncle and his mithological story about past of family.

How Spinach Came to Be King

Greek Mirthology (1954)

*** (out of 4)

Popeye is trying to get his four nephews to eat spinach but they only want ice cream so he tells them the family story of how spinach came to give them great strength. It turns out that they are relatives to Hercules so we hear how he discovered that spinach was his friend.

Greek MIRTHOLOGY is one of the better latter day Popeye films as there's several great laughs to be had and plenty of violence to keep fans entertained. The highlight of the film is once Bluto comes rolling into town and causing all sorts of pain for Hercules. The animation itself is quite good but it's certainly all that action that makes the film so memorable. Who doesn't like a good fight between Popeye and Bluto?

garlic power

Popeye is trying to get his nephews to eat their spinach. He tells them the story of Hercules who is portrayed by Popeye. Instead of spinach, he gets his strength by sniffing garlic. He is confronted by a bully portrayed by Bluto.

This is a colored Popeye short. I would simplify it by going straight into the Hercules story. The nephews can still appear in ancient Greece. It's a little weird to sniff garlic. It looks weird. I guess it's a little funny and that's the point.

From Garlic To Spinach - Popeye Is Strong To The Finich

First off - One of the things that really appealed to me about "Greek Mirthology" was that Olive Oyl was not at all present in the story. Yeah. That (IMO) was a real plus.

Anyway - (Going all the way back to the ancient times of his great-great-great-great-great-uncle) - Popeye tells his defiant, ice cream-slurping nephews the whole story of how Hercules (aka. Popeye) switched from being a garlic-sniffer (in order to harness his great strength) to that of being an enthusiastic spinach-muncher where (needless to say) the results were like never before imagined.

And, with that in mind - It should come as no surprise to the viewer that, soon enough, Bluto (the big bully) bulldozes his way into the story where he repeatedly challenges Popeye (and his new-found strength) over, and over, again.

He's Strong To The Finish 'Cause He Eats His Garlic

The nephews -- Popeye still has four of them at this point -- don't want to eat their spinach. They prefer ice cream. So Popeye tells them about their multiply great uncle Hercules, and he he ate garlic for strength until Bluto comes riding into town on an elephant.

Famous Studios was still doing well with their visuals, large due to simple but appealing background work, and taking advantage of the simplifying tendency of character design. I don't find the gag construction here particularly amusing, but it certainly fits the milieu of the short. The lack of Olive Oyl is probably a trade-off for putting the nephews in.

Curiosidades
Popeye's storied ancestor initially gets his strength from garlic, but later discovers a more familiar aid, spinach, after his garlic is dosed with chlorophyll by his challenger. Chlorophyll is used in breath freshening products.
