PATRIOTIC POPEYE (Theatrical Release USA 1957)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating:4.0|5.0 Stars Patriotic Popeye—cute short film—offers a sweet watch about the Fourth of July. It has a strong sense of where it is going and how to get there. Very cohesive toon that has a nicely placed moral inside. This toon makes a good,  simple child/adult share about the Fourth of July and provides a nice leap point for discussion about this American holiday, and how it is a pinnacle part of the American year and the remembrance of how Americans won their freedom.  Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images  Storyline  Popeye’s nephews are setting off fireworks and giving Popeye challenges because they are a little too young to play with fireworks.
