Fightin Pals

Fightin Pals (1940)

*** (out of 4)

Popeye is at home listening to the radio when news breaks that Bluto has gone missing in Africa. Popeye decides to go there and try to look for his pal.

This here is a rather short and quick entry in the long-running series and it has the type of gags that you'd expect. Once Popeye reaches Africa it's pretty much him running into various wildlife and of course he eventually finds Bluto and I'm sure you can guess what happens. As usual the animation is quite great and there's a terrific fast-pace to the film that certainly helps it move along.
