Wordiezett So much average

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Michael_Elliott Poopdeck Pappy (1940)*** (out of 4)Popeye tells his father that he's old and needs to slow down a bit. The old man says he's as young as his son so the two hit the town and trouble follows.POOPDECK PAPPY is a pretty good entry for the series as it features Popeye at his best and the father character is also pretty good. This year saw a couple different shorts with the father character so obviously people of that time must have enjoyed it. This one here is pretty funny as the two get into some nice fights as the old man tries to pick up some ladies. As usual the animation is nice and there's no question that it moves at a very good pace.

ccthemovieman-1 There a lot of life left to the old man - Popeye's 99-year-old father known in full as "Poopdeck Pappy." Anyway, dear old dad is staying with his son and Popeye wants treats him like a little kid, making sure he gets to bed on time. There's one problem: Pappy wants to go out and have a good time, not go to bed.The whole cartoon revolves around the one-joke idea of the son trying to make sure dad stays in bed. Pappy's bed is a hammock directly over Popeye'e bed. The moment Popeye turns the light off, gets into bed and says "Goodnight, Pappy," the joke re-starts because the old geezer is gone is a flash.Popeye tries everything, which is pretty funny to watch. Also entertaining is Pappy's dancing with the hot young babes at the nightclub. All in all, the gags work, Pappy is a hoot and this is one of the better cartoons of the period.

Movie Nuttball When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious like the Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!

martin63 Before Famous Studios gradually reduced the Popeye series to a marshmallow-soft snoozer, the Fleisher brothers were still pumping adrenaline into it, and in some of the best entries, they abandoned the "Help, Popeye" rut in favor of focusing on some of the great Thimble Theater supporting characters. In this one, our hero is trying fruitlessly to keep his scrappy Pappy from going out on the town and picking fights. Solid entertainment. And we can only imagine how ornery Pappy will someday be when Popeye eventually decides to dump him in a nursing home!
