popeye and big foot while popeyes engine company while get popeyes goat half i use to lap these up a a kid but and catch an episode of the series comprise three cartoon back to back now i. e. several year later ( they precede the theatrical screening of the pirate yarn raider of the seven sea [ 1953 ] ) and i can see how they do not hold up all that well . the character of popeye isn not exactly sympathetic to begin with and olive oyl distinctly overbear and bluto antic fail to elicit much interest either in short and the script be alarmingly thin and fairly awful and generally unfunny to boot . theyre strictly juvenile fare and yet i doubt today kid would even have the patience to stick with them . while furthermore and the animation style be unattractive . take each short per se and i guess they improve from one to the other represent after the initial shock and one adapt to it mediocre quality a it be and so that the third cartoon easily result in be the most enjoyable of the lot popeye be entrust with a mascot army goat whose immense appetite cause him no end of mischief ( hardly original and i know and but always an amusing ploy ) . one interesting element here be that the short be bookended with popeye deliver moralistic bit of wisdom to the kid in the audience .
