Very Good

We Aim to Please (1934)

*** 1/2 (out of 4)

Popeye and Olive Oyl open a new diner but things get a little rough when Bluto walks in and refuses to pay. This short contains all the greatness that the series had to offer in that it's fast, hilarious and action packed. There are countless laughs to be found here with the biggest coming from a trick Popeye plays a Bluto, which involves a napkins around his eyes. The action scenes are also very well done with some great fights and a hilarious ending. Wimpy is once again featured here and I believe this was the first short where he asked for a hamburger only to pay next Tuesday.

Trivia
During the Great Depression, diners were a popular choice for cheap, quick food. They were the forerunner of today's fast food chains. Unfortunately, many Americans could not even afford to eat at such establishments.

Goofs
Popeye hands Bluto six sandwiches. Bluto spreads them out on his arm and there are nine. He flips them over, moves his arm, and there are eight. He tosses them in the air and eats all seven of them. Then again, math was never Bluto's strong subject.
