Toon Legends: Popeye in Sea No Evil (1960)

This would've been appropriate last month, if we all had spring break.

Popeye and Olive are relaxing on a small boat named for Olive. However, sleazy, sneaky Brutus strips the boat of all the gear, forcing some unplanned extra activity.......

"Sea No Evil" is in memory of director Gene Deitch, who passed away at 95.

Edit, 8/26/21: Had to change the video. The opening credits have been edited out of this copy.



The Deitch-William Snyder run wasn't the greatest, and, yes, some of the audio is a little bit off in the open & close.

Rating: B--.

I remember watching these shorts on TV as a kid back in the day; I forgot Deitch was a part of them. I will forever associate his name to the godawful Tom & Jerry shorts he did some time afterwards.

RIP just the same, I didn't know he was even still around until recently. He must have been retired for quite some time.

He might've still been active in the Czech Republic, which he'd called home until his passing.
