Production notes

Olive is referred to as Sleeping Beauty in this cartoon.

King Little from Fleischer's animated feature film "Gulliver's Travels" appears in this cartoon as the ringside announcer.

This cartoon is now considered "politically incorrect" due to its black racial stereotype gags. As Popeye and joust for the hand of Olive Oyl, a black bell handler throws up all kinds of racist remarks and situations. Bluto even gets into the act with a blackface gag of his own.
