Ice Rescuing You

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.

  1. 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.

  2. See? Rubber-hose animation can come in handy sometimes.

    I hope during the past 88 years at least a few people have prefaced their Yuletide offerings with "I brung ya a Crissmuss presink."
