On a strange island

Many of Fleischer Studios&apos; cartoons were good to classic. As said a few times already, the best of them had fun and charm and even if there some cartoons that had more interesting characters than others they were always outstandingly scored, very hard to dislike and extremely well made, some of the techniques used even were unique for back then.

This cartoon is not just one of the best late-Fleischer cartoons, of Popeye (and in general actually), but also one of my favourites of Popeye overall. It is always great to have a change of pace once in a while, with Popeye being the one regular character, and the conflict different to usual, and this is one of the finest examples of that. One where one doesn&apos;t miss Olive Oyl and Bluto too much. Changes of pace have happened many times with Popeye, both with Fleischer and Famous Studios, and many have been done remarkably well, just that this is a particularly well done example.

Popeye is as amusing and likeable as ever, Pappy is a fun character though his indifference initially takes some getting used to. The conflict provide great entertainment but also a freaky feel brought to life brilliantly. Popeye&apos;s mumbling and asides are relished by Jack Mercer, the longest serving voice actor for the character for good reason.

As ever, the music is lush and full of energy with no fault with how it fits with what is going on the gags and animation. The story is one of the least formulaic for a Popeye cartoon and is filled with energy and charm, as well as from beginning to end fun.

Best assets though are the animation and dialogue. The animation is excellent and makes for one of the best-looking Popeye cartoons, just love the meticulousness, fluidity, vibrancy and attention to detail. One can tell hearing the witty dialogue that the writers were having a great time writing the dialogue here, mumbles and asides at their funniest.

In summary, really great. 9/10 Bethany Cox
