My introduction to the song"Barnacle Bill" was via this film, which I first saw as a kid on Richmond's then popular Sailor Bob show. It's an example of how Fleischer,unlike most of Popeye's later producers, understood the character. And it's also an example of how well the Fleischers were with animated syncopation. The character's actions are in perfect match with the music's rhythm. Compare this to the earlier Fleischer BARNACLE BILL(l930) and you will see how the Fleischer studio itself progressed in five years.
