I have to admit I'm not a fan of the William Snyder-Gene Deitch era of Popeye. They weren't exactly geniuses on the order of the Fleischers, or even Hanna-Barbera (Snyder & Deitch also did some disservice to Tom & Jerry, but that's another story), but at least they introduced American audiences to the British H-B, Halas & Bachelor, during their brief run.
In "Weight For Me", released in the winter of 1961, Olive (Mae Questel) has gained an inordinate amount of weight while Popeye (Jack Mercer) & Brutus (Jackson Beck) have been away. Brutus, of course, likes Olive the way she is, but Popeye believes she can lose some weight.......
Rating: B--.
