Toon Legends: Popeye in Crystal Ball Brawl (1960)

 Popeye gets a telegram informing him that he will inherit his Uncle Abrakadabra's fortune. That includes a crystal ball that actually can see into the future. Of course, Brutus wants in on that, but you know how this goes.

"Crystal Ball Brawl" is not to be confused with "The Crystal Brawl", produced for Paramount 3 years earlier. "Crystal Ball Brawl" comes from Larry Harmon, director Paul Fennell, and pre-Filmation staffers Lou Scheimer, Ervin Kaplan, Hal Sutherland, and musical director Gordon Zahler.


I must have seen this about 2 dozen times back in the day.

Rating: A.
