Maybe the best Popeye cartoon, 19 June 2001

...if, like me, you're not a fan of the two-fisted sailor, this is
the
Popeye cartoon for you. A charming, beautifully paced and timed, low-key
adventure in which a sleeping Olive Oyl serenely paces the precarious rails
of an under-construction skyscraper, blissfully oblivious to the fact that
Popeye and Bluto are battling each other to a standstill for the right to
be
the one who saves her. Olive never misses a beat of her song (the classic
"[Did You Ever See] A Dream Walking") despite stepping into and out of the
most harrowing close calls, and makes it home and back to bed safely all by
herself despite her would-be rescuers' noisy efforts. Just a delightful
cartoon. (Don't miss the moment in which Popeye and Bluto, temporarily
knocked dizzy, join her in sleepwalking and they negotiate a three-way
intersection with split-second timing.)
