WWII Era Popeye
Seein' Red, White 'n' Blue (1943)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Popeye is a member of the draft board when Bluto comes in trying to fake an illness so he can stay out of the military. Before all of that can happen some Japanese soldiers attack.
Obviously there are some racial stereotypes on display in this short but it's fair to remember that this was made during WWII when Japan was our enemy so seeing exaggerations of them was something that American crowds would find entertaining and funny. As far as the actual film goes, it's pretty good for what it is but there's no question that it's not in the upper tier of the series. The highlight is when Bluto is faking his illness and a "woman" comes in. The animation is good throughout but the film could have used some more laughs.
