Toon Legends: Popeye in I'm in The Army Now (1936)

Popeye and Bluto have served in the Navy. But when Olive Oyl sees a recruitment poster at an Army office, she swoons, and coaxes the guys into enlisting. The usual chaos follows, of course.

Here's "I'm in The Army Now":



I remember seeing this back in the 70's, and couldn't wrap my head around why they went to a clip show episode so soon (this was the 42nd short in the series), let alone Popeye & Bluto, two Navy men, thinking they could jump to the Army.

Then again, it was a one-shot, after all.

Rating: B.
