*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Well, this was the first "rip-off" in the Popeye series. Unfortunately, everyone had them. I'm speaking of the cartoons in which some new material opens the story, but the bulk of it turns out to be scenes from previous cartoons. For collectors, or just big fans of the series who have the past episodes, this always is disappointing because there is very little new to see.
In here, the new scenes are real-life action ones in which a young boy, dressed with a frilly shirt, is picked on by a bully. The smaller kid had just purchased a Popeye comic book. Popepe "sees" what's going on and tells the kid how he used to handle bad situations, trying to inspire the kid. Thus, we see highlights from four previous cartoons in which Popeye defeated Bluto or a bunch of wild animals.
The real-life kid then downs a can of spinach, and with the aid of mixing animation with real-life action, takes care of the bully. That ending was funny but doesn't make up for the fact this was a "re-run."
If you've never seen the other cartons, then this one would be a good one, but it's a waste when you include this with all the previous cartoons in a DVD package. (For that reason, I didn't register a rating vote for this.)
