Popeye Meets Hercules (1948)

Review by pixrox1

Popeye Meets Hercules

7/10

After filching Popeye and his home studio . . .

. . . from the famous brothers who first animated him, Paramount Pictures did everything possible to tarnish, demean, taint and destroy this franchise. The famous brothers NEVER would have included convicted wife-killer Hercules in a film some children were likely to view. Back in the 1900's, most kids were brought up on the Classics, and would be aware of the fact that Hercules also murdered all of his kids. How's that for a role model? Furthermore, the discus and javelin throws were NOT among Hercules' twelve labors. The family killer was tasked with slaying a hydra, lion and some birds, as well as capturing a hind, a boar, a big bull, some other cattle and a few horses. Speaking of stables, he needed to clean one quickly before stealing some lingerie and apples. Finally, he was required to kidnap a dude. Popeye comes closest to accomplishing one of these tasks during POPEYE MEETS HERCULES, when he forces a trio of lions to gobble up one another.
