Popeye with Little Swee’ Pea

Here’s a link to stream an early Popeye cartoon: Little Swee’ Pea (1936). This is one of the Fleischer Studios’ Popeye cartoons, which are far superior to the later ones produced when Dave Fleischer was no longer at the helm. In Little Swee’ Pea, Popeye invites Olive Oly to the zoo — only she’s too busy to go out with him. So Popeye takes Sweet Pea instead. Check out the multi-plane backgrounds that provide a more realistic sense of perspective and movement.
