This was the first Popeye cartoon with Jack Mercer as the voice of the eponymous spinach-eating sailor.
This cartoon makes use of Fleischer's Tabletop process, which animates the cels vertically between multi-plane set pieces in order to create the feeling of depth. Used here for the opening panning shot of the roller coaster.
The whole effect is lost in the color version, as the backgrounds is a flat redraw.
Hamburger munching Wimpy makes an appearance in this short.
Although the title mentions Mardi Gras, Bluto sings that his realm is Coney, as in Island, New York. The background would also indicate a boardwalk amusement park.
The annual Mardi Gras celebration at Coney Island began in 1903 and lasted until 1954. It always took place in mid-September and was timed to coincide with the end of the summer season and the annual shuttering of amusement parks.
