    Lots Of Fine Gags

    Olive Oyl has flown the coop with aviator Bluto. Popeye is broken hearted. Then he spots Olive being mistreated by Bluto in the air, and takes off in a plane after them. Olive gets to safety while the two guys fight like junior birdmen.

    Director Dave Fleischer was fond of packing as many gags as possible into his cartoons, and this is a fine example of that. To make things even better, the movie starts with one of the better example of the Fleischer's. Tabletop Process a technique that lends a real sense of three dimensions to this cartoon.

    We think of Walt Disney as a great innovator in cartoons, and he was quick to latch onto new techniques. At Fleischer, they invented them.

    Olive is quite flighty here.

    This is a marvelous short. Olive runs off with Bluto (again) and it turns out badly for her (again-will she never learn? Will Popeye?) until Popeye flies to the rescue. Visually wonderful, as Fleischer shorts usually were. Originally in black and white, this was colorized. Black and white is much better. These were drawn for black and white. The requirements for color are different. But what can you expect in a world where, on the packaging for Young Frankenstein, the pictures are in color? *SIGH* This short is well worth looking for and most recommended.

    in the sky

    Olive Oyle out of business for the love to an aviator, airplanes, old fights between Popeye and Bluto, the generosity of the first to a seagull and the so expected end. An easy short film in which the fly of airplanes remains the basic source of seduction.

    get another girlfriend

    At the airport, Popeye is heartbroken after getting a Dear John letter from Olive Oyl. She has run off with pilot Bluto. He's abusive and she wants to go back to Popeye. That's when Popeye comes to the rescue. I'm more and more disappointed with Olive Oyl as I see more of these cartoons. Popeye is nothing but good to her. Yet she is often running off with Bluto. What's up with that? Maybe Popeye should look for another girlfriend. Also Popeye should rescue Olive Oyl at the end of the episode, not the middle. There is an interesting opening scene that is unlike the normal Popeye drawings. It's also fun that Popeye gives spinach to the duck. Overall, this is good Popeye fun.

    Take It to the Air

    I Never Changes My Altitude (1937)

    *** (out of 4)

    As this short starts off, Popeye is crying because he received a letter from Olive Oyl saying she's left him for an aviator. Soon she's in terror because of his mean ways so Popeye must come to the rescue.

    Surely I'm not the only fan of this series who watches shorts like this and wonders why Popeye even puts up with Olive Oyl's attitude. For whatever his reason, Popeeye decides to go into battle with Bluto as the two take the air to straighten things out. For the most part this isn't the greatest short in the series but as usual the animation is terrific and certainly helps keep the film going. There are some creative scenes in the sky and especially when Popeye feeds spinach to a duck.

      The sign on Olive Oyl's lunch room reads, "Come down and see me sometime." This is a parody of Mae West's catchphrase, "Come up and see me sometime."
