The first Popeye cartoon produced in Polacolor

Original Paramount titles restored and distributed by Turner

A special set of titles were used only on this cartoon

[s275ironman]

@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.

Weird Paramount font on this one.

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.

"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!
