A Haul in One (1956)

Directed by Izzy Sparber

Animation | Comedy | Short

Overview

Popeye and Bluto are, believe it or not, pals and partners in a moving company. (Maybe it’s because Popeye isn’t squinting here.) Anyhow, Olive has made the mistake of hiring them. She hasn’t finished packing yet, so the boys, smitten as soon as she answers the door, compete to help her. Once packed, they compete to move more impressive piles of her belongings. Popeye easily wins these contests, even though Bluto locks him in the van at one point. At the end, Bluto socks Popeye into the piano, then into a table; though he hardly seems to need it, Popeye still eats his spinach, then thrashes Bluto.

Viewing Notes

Sunday morning cartoon: these Sparber Popeye cartoons from the fifties look and feel different than the early Fleischer ones. Also why would Popeye and Bluto be partners in a moving company? Yes I know it’s just a cartoon lol
