@MichaelHansenFUN Sounds like something taken right out of Wikipedia. To set the record straight, nothing on this cartoon has been restored. Ever since Turner gained ownership of the a.a.p. library, this was one of several Popeye shorts in which Turner owned a print that had original titles. No work had to be done to add the original titles back on to this cartoon. A "restored" version usually means an unoriginal version with masked titles from existing sources to make it look original.
@s275ironman on wikipedia they dont even mention banned/political incorrect, YES I DID GET IT FROM WIKIPEDIA, but i dont remember seeing this one as a child, and believe you me i have seen them almost all, even ones edited slightly
@MichaelHansenFUN This cartoon was only shown occasionally during late night airings on Cartoon Network. Boomerang airs this cartoon quite often in their Popeye showings. Is this cartoon politically incorrect? Yes, to some extent. Believe me, there are films and cartoons from this late 1940's era that portray Native Americans ten times worse than this cartoon does. With how often this short airs on Boomerang (where else do you think I might have recorded this?), I can't label it as being banned.
"Oh,you should have ducked." That had me in absolute stitches, this probably one of Famous Studio's best Popeye cartoons. Politically Incorrect or not,it's still hilarious!
"Salami, salami, baloney" was reused from an even older popeye cartoon from the 30's: Popeye as Aladdin or Popeye meets Ali baba & the 40 thieves-I forget which one...was it both?
What is unique about this one is that this particular set of titles was only used on this cartoon. The opening and closing sequences pretty much are identical to the ones used during the 1946-1947 season, but this is the only Popeye cartoon processed in Polacolor to use this set of titles. This is also the last time this particular version of the Popeye theme was used for the intro titles. Starting with the next cartoon, a new, shorter version was used.
I understand that this short has the potential to offend some. But, it is very typical of what was common in a cartoon from 1948. This one is very tame on the stereotyping in comparison to how Native Americans were portrayed in other cartoons from the era. Not trying to make any excuses, but the chief in this cartoon really is just a variation of Popeye's regular opponent, Bluto. The Fleischer short, "Big Chief Ugh-Amugh-Ugh" is much more offensive than this one.
Dear Ironman, The gag is a variation from"Popeye Ala Mode"..
but..the little indian boy is trying to give "Popeye"the english Guard a "Close Hair cut"..but he is foiled first by the evil indian chief(voiced by Mr.Jack Beck)and later by "Popeye's"single strand of hair..which is much stronger than what the little indian boy thought it is.
The gag with the little Indian boy trying to scalp Popeye is a reused gag from "Pop-Pie A La Mode", in which a young child among the cannibal tribe keeps trying to take a bite out of Popeye. The ending where the tribe hails Popeye as their ruler saying, "Salami, salami, baloney" is also reused from "Pop-Pie A La Mode".
Did they have a typo in the copyright notice?

This also isn't the first time Popeye had punched Indians and turned them into casino chips.
