The Dance Contest

This is an animated short film from 1934 which features Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto, and Wimpy. I remember seeing this on Art Finley's (Mayor Art) show on KRON-TV in San Francisco in the 1960s when I was 8 or 9 and enjoying it quite a bit. Reading the reviews on this database, I was dismayed to find there were none which were helpful. One was particularly vile. The reviewer wrote the Popeye took his spinach "in order to beat the crap out of evil Bluto." He also wrote that Olive is an idiot and that "Popeye takes his spinach and it makes him an instant Fred Astaire! But, as you'd expect, it soon turns into a butt whipping of Bluto when he gets fresh with Olive." Is such language necessary when you are discussing a cartoon aimed at children? Popeye does not turn into an instant Fred Astaire; I have seen many Astaire and Rogers films and there is no resemblance. It makes me wonder if the writer of this review has mental problems.
