Movie Reviews of Popeye the Sailor: 1941-1943, Vol. 3
Movie Review: A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read repeatedly how "cruel" the portrayal of the Japanese is in wartime cartoons. As cruel as the Bataan death march? As cruel as Nanking? POW treatment? Do I need to go on?
Besides, where caricatures are concerned Popeye and Bluto have never been ideal caucasian portrayals of American manhood.
Let's face it, in Golden Age cartoons, almost everyone is ugly - with the exception of Superman and Red Hot Riding Hood!
So I was thrilled beyond the ability to express myself at the inclusion on this volume of "Your A Sap Mr. Jap" and others.
This Stalinesque "politically correct" trend finally has a challenge.
A pity it's not more high profile, but it will do for now.
It is perfectly alright with me that slurs and slander against race, color and creed are not acceptable in modern children's entertainment.
It is NOT ACCEPTABLE to go and re-create the work of yesteryear and white-wash history.
There are plenty of harmless examples of Popeye, Bugs, Daffy, and Tom & Jerry to placate and expose children to without butchering the few cartoons that today seem questionable and/or inappropriate.
Seeing as how the dvd trend is too smaller less expensive cartoon compilations, I will leave it to the wisdom of entertainment executives to produce compilations aimed at children and maybe a few for adults.
I'm pleased that it was Time/Warner that released this - perhaps we'll even see "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips" someday, hardly a cartoon 'worse' than the few Popeye's presented here.
For a change, thank you Warner Entertainment.
You did the right thing, and if this new start towards allowing parents/adults to police their own entertainment becomes a trend instead of having it censored for them - insulting everyone involved - I will whole heartedly and with a loose wallet support further dvd releases from Warner Entertainment.
Summary of Popeye the Sailor: 1941-1943, Vol. 3
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 11/04/2008By 1941, Fleischer Studio was tottering on the brink of disaster. The failure of their second feature Mr. Bug Goes to Town (which opened three days before the bombing of Pearl Harbor) coupled with a bitter quarrel between Max and Dave Fleischer and a mounting debt to Paramount led to the closure of the Miami Studio. Executives at Parmount fired the Fleischer brothers, installed new management, changed the studio name to Famous, moved operations back to New York City, and cut the artists' pay. Not surprisingly, the quality of the cartoons fell. A number of the shorts in this collection are domestic comedies, with Popeye babysitting the incorrigible Poopdeck Pappy or his four identical and uninteresting nephews. It's an incongruous role for the rough and tumble sailor, and films like "Problem Pappy" and "Me Musical Nephews" recall the joyless cartoons that turned Betty Boop into a hausfrau a few years earlier. Popeye, like Bugs Bunny, is a winner, and he isn't funny as a straight man or a fall guy. These films also lack the original vision that characterized the Fleischers' best work. "Nix on Hypnotricks" feels like an inferior remake of the classic Popeye-Olive-Bluto short "A Dream Walking," while "The Hungry Goat" borrows heavily from Tex Avery's "Tortoise Beats Hare." The war-themed cartoons feature outrageous racial charicatures of the Japanese that make Warner Bros.' "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips" look almost flattering. Unlike the Disney and Warners characters, who made fun of the Nazis, Popeye fought the Japanese almost exclusively. The cartoons in Popeye the Sailor, Vol.3 rank as curiosities that are more interesting to historians of animation and American popular culture than to viewers looking for laughs. (Unrated: suitable for ages 10 and older: violence, alcohol and tobacco use, offensive racial stereotypes) --Charles Solomon
