A Unique Popeye Cartoon In Several Areas
This Popeye cartoon is unusual in that Bluto not only doesn't know Olive Oyl but insults her when he first sees her, calling her a "long-legged scarecrow!" In addition, he tells her to mind her own business. This Bluto is a mean guy, a guy who is mistreating the horse that is pulling he and an over-sized load of produce. The horse is ready to drop but Bluto won't even let the animal get a drink of water, taking a nearby tub of water and drinking it all himself and then constantly whipping the horse and punching him in the face! Wow, this sort of thing wouldn't be shown today, even in jest. This guy is worse than Michael Vick with dogs!
After insulting Olive, Popeye confronts the big lug when he himself gets whipped. Bluto then throws a big bunch of bananas and hits Olive in the head. Wow, this is really different from the norm. In a way, I kind of liked it as Olive could be a pain.
Animal lovers will really enjoy the "justice" at the end of this cartoon!
Note: This was not the voice I have ever heard doing Popeye. It sounded weird. I looked it up here and it's Floyd Buckley, who only voiced one Popeye cartoon - this one.
