Time For Popeye!

From 1944, here's Popeye the Sailor starring in "The Anvil Chorus Girl," which was in reality a remake of the 1934 Max Fleischer cartoon "Shoein' Hosses."  In this one, Popeye and Bluto battle for the right to be blacksmith Olive's assistant. 





This cartoon, produced in New York City by Famous Studios, and released by Paramount Pictures, marked the return of Mae Questel as the voice of Olive Oyl.  Jack Mercer was the voice of Popeye, and Jackson Beck handled Bluto's voice.  This cartoon, with story by Bill Turner and Jack Ward and animation by Dave Tendlar and Morey Reden, was directed by Izzy Sparber.
