Hi, first time poster long time fan of cartoons.
I've had this one Popeye cartoon rattling around in my head for a while.
It's when Popeye and Bluto, both in the navy, are targeted to be eaten or thrown in a volcano by a seductive demoness in the South Seas. She refers to Sailors as "long pig".
Anyone remember this particular toon?
Not knowing is figuratively killing me.
Thanks for your time. ;)
Would this be Alona on the Sarong Seas (1942)?
Are you sure you're not remembering
a Woody Woodpecker cartoon?
Straydog...you are correct!
You rule. Thanks. Ugh...I can go to sleep now.
I should turn in my nerd card for getting this wrong.
So embarrassed. :eggface:
Wow! those are two fantastic shorts! I love Olive Oyl 's interpretation of Dorothy Lamour! And the Woody & Buzz short is just wild!
There is also a curious, if convoluted, link - the title Alona on the Sarong Seas is a play on that of the Paramount feature Aloma of the South Seas (1941, starring Lamour and Jon Hall), the 'erupting volcano' footage from which was reused in the 1952 Hope/Crosby/Lamour picture Road to Bali, the film that is parodied in the Woody Woodpecker short.
