My Pop, My Pop

6.7 | en | Animation

Popeye's 99-year-old father won't admit he's too old to help Popeye build a ship. Popeye tells him to build one side while he builds the other; Pappy's side is a mess. He falls asleep helping hoist the mast. While Pappy sleeps, Popeye rebuilds his side and finishes the above-decks, with a little help from spinach, of course.

Reviews

Michael_Elliott My Pop, My Pop (1940)*** (out of 4)Popeye and his old man are building a boat but the son tells him to take a break because he's old. This here sets off the old man to try and prove that being old doesn't mean a thing.MY POP, MY POP is a pretty interesting title because of the way it plays out. You'd think that the message would be that the old man can do anything that Popeye can but in fact it's the complete opposite and the old man is made to look exactly like.... an old man! The film still has plenty of fun back and forth between the father and son and there's also some funny action as Popeye is pretty much forced to build a boat on his own.

ccthemovieman-1 This Popeye cartoon mainly shows Popeye's patient and kind side toward his somewhat-senile father. "Pappy" is 99 years old but still thinks he can build ships, and better than his son. That, as we, is ludicrous, as Popeye is not only inventive but terrific in building ships.Popeye can spit out tacks and then hammer them in perfectly in seconds, as well as other talents all in the form of sight-gags. His father comes along and tries to show him what he can do, but it's almost nothing and his gags aren't really funny, either. Finally, Popeye tells his dad to build one side of the boat and he'll build the other. The results are just what you'd expect.Later, while trying to put up the mast, the old man falls asleep and Popeye, with the aid of his spinach, finishes the job in a few seconds, making the entire boat look super. Pappy wakes up and thinks he did it and walks always singing about how great he is while Popeye laughs it off.As you see, this one is a lot more sentimental than it is funny. It's a nice, feel-good cartoon but don't expect a lot of laughs. It is a bit unusual in that it's a one-man show, regarding the "cast" as Jack Mercer is the only voice needed here, doing both men.
