Sorry for the lack of posts lately... My New Year's resolution is to write more, and depend less on YouTube. However, It's Saturday Morning Cartoon time, and what cartoon could be better to celebrate the New Year than "Let's Celebrake" a 1938 Popeye cartoon from the remarkable Fleischer brothers. Those who regard Popeye as one dimensional character may be surprised by this cartoon, which shows the one-eyed sailor in a very warm, compassionate mode. Popeye cartoons in the 1930's show a remarkable versatility that eventually got lost in the 1950's, when every cartoon became essentially the same plot in a different locale. Amazingly, this is one of the few Popeye cartoons with no violence... Unless you count the consumption of spinach, which usually produces a violent reaction in me. Enjoy "Let's Celebrake" and Happy New Year!Saturday, December 31, 2011
