Maybe the title of the 1933 Popeye cartoon Seasin’s Greetinks! refers to the winter season. There isn’t much that’s Christmassy about this short, other than Popeye gives Olive a present and there’s a decorated Christmas tree at the end.
Olive kind of rescues herself off an ice chunk in a swift-moving river. She extends her leg an impossible distance to Popeye on land, then climbs along her leg to safety.
Seymour Kneitel and Doc Crandall are the credited animators.
What I love about the Fleischer shorts, is that you can be guaranteed Popeye would be giving one of his sarcastic " mumble offs " either at Bluto, or some situation Olive had gotten into.
ReplyDeleteSee? Rubber-hose animation can come in handy sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI hope during the past 88 years at least a few people have prefaced their Yuletide offerings with "I brung ya a Crissmuss presink."
