Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

ccthemovieman-1 I could relate to this film, remembering a bunch of friends who were trying to do what Bluto did here to get out of the Vietnam War! I guess there have always been a lot of guys not exactly thrilled at the prospect of entering the military, even in World War II. Bluto, obviously, was one of them. Oddly, the military man/recruiter Bluto has to convince to get out of service is Popeye! (The two don't know each other here in this story.) Bluto's plan is to fail his physical. At least he can figure out a plan. He doesn't look too bright or have bright friends when he gets his draft notice. He sees the envelope and says, "Who do I know that can write?" Nothing is working to get out of the commitment, so he gets desperate. Bluto then looks like he's trying to kill himself - some real dark humor in here - but he's just trying to knock himself out of commission, so to speak, even if it means a heavy weight dropped on his head.The ironic ending has Bluto helping Popeye defeat an enemy attack! The big oak sees "the Japs" kicking the you-know-what out of Popeye and he comes to the rescue.It's the only cartoon I can recall in which Popeye shares his spinach, giving Bluto half the can!! That part made the cartoon worth seeing; otherwise, it was just "fair," at best.

petersgrgm "Seein' Red, White 'n' Blue" was one of many Popeyes filmed during World War II to spoof some aspect of the War. Bluto suggested one, interestingly enough, of many young Americans who, despite the fact that the War WAS morally AND politically supportable, was not willing to fight in it. (Many guys just did not want to be wrenched away from homes, girls, wives, mothers, etc.) While working as a blacksmith, he got a letter from the President, ordering him to report for induction. People DID still earn their livings as blacksmiths in the Forties; apparently, such were not entitled to 2-A, 2-B or other deferment based on occupation. Bluto growled that they can't make me serve, but the letter from the President read OH YES WE CAN! He reported, Popeye being on draft-board duty, claiming medical unfitness (to get a 4-F) but Popeye saw through it. Then Bluto tried to get himself injured; that also backfired. Bluto then declared "I'll never sign up. Never!" So, Popeye and Bluto visited an orphanage. Was Bluto assigned to this instead, as he objected to military service? (When America had a draft, registrants with religious objections WERE assigned to orphanages, old-people's homes, etc. as civilian alternative service.) The five "cute little orphinks" that Popeye saw were really Japanese spies! Popeye and Bluto BOTH ate spinach and made short work of the Japanese, landing them behind bars (after a sign was posted saying "Is there a doctor in the house?" with "doctor" replaced by "undertaker"). Bluto FINALLY agreed to serve. Being a peanut brain, he could not spell his own name, so asked "How do you spell Bluto?", to which the Japs replied in close harmony "B-L-U-T-O!" I do NOT believe that this Popeye was meant to insult Orientals! Some have regarded it as childish; I see it as an AMUSING spoof of a war that DID have to be fought.

yanmar_world Of all the propaganda cartoons made during the WWII, those made by Paramount always seemed to me the most childish and offensive, and with this one is no exception. Recorded one year after the nip-away extravaganza "You're a sap, Mr. Jap, this one shows Bluto ,the once world most extra ordinary fellow as the brave Sinbad, trying at any cost to escape from drafting. Just like on those shorts where him and Popeye wants to get broken to be hospitalized by Olive, here he tries to get horribly injuried and not get drafted.He eventually succeeds on that, but as usual the Patriotism hits him in the heart when he sees Pop being slaughtered by five stereotypical japs. Here the good minutes of the short begins. Popeye wakes up, chomps his spinach, makes Bluto swallow the can and they transform into the Fist of Justice, butchers the nips, give Mr. Hirohito his last waltz, then obviously go sock Adolf"Peeeeeeeee-yooooooooooo" Hitler (the most ridiculous Adolf caricature ever made). At the ending Bluto agrees with being drafted. After all the caricatures and the unimaginative plot, this one is somewhat cool to see, even being a little childish at times.7 outta 10.

TheOtherFool Bluto is being drafted to be in the navy. I love it when he gets the letter: 'who do I know that can write?'. But he really doesn't feel patriotic and when he comes to the office of navy draftsman Popeye he acts like he's unfit to join. When that doesn't work he tries to be hurt in several ways so he won't have to go into the navy.But things complicate as he sees Popeye being kicked around by some Japanese, and without thinking (literally) he helps Popeye defeat them (but not without the help of the well-known spinache), and finally signs in anyway.Pretty decent propaganda with some good humour, though there have been better. I'd like to give it a 6/10.
