Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPopeye is the only human being in this short. His regular supporting cast in most Famous Studios cartoons, Olive Oyl, Bluto, and his nephews, or even Swee' Pea, and Wimpy, do not appear.
- GoofsAfter the termites consume the mailbox post, Popeye runs to his fence. Two hinges are seen on the left side of the gate, but they disappear when the gate is closed. From inside the fence, where Popeye has now pressed his body against the gate, the hinges are not seen either. For some reason, the termites do not eat the wood that matches the outline of Popeye's body, but the gate stays in place, even though its only contact with the gate posts is where Popeye's hands were, which is precisely between where the hinges had been. Despite this, the "Popeye" gate swings open as if the wood where his left fingers and left foot were acts as gate hinges. Also, when the termites ate the gate, his left foot was not in contact with the gate post.
Featured review
Popeye Versus The Natural World
This episode of the long-running series of Popeye cartoons is a bit of a relief, as Popeye, having just built a house singlehandedly, is confronted not with Bluto fighting for the hand of Olive Oyl, but by toimites who..... excuse me. Termites, who wish to devour his wooden home.
It's a well done cartoon, with the little critters usually represented by a mass of black dots which erase all wooden objects. Certainly, Popeye's frustration is understandable, as are the appetites of the insects, and if they do the same thing in the same way, again and again, there are enough small variations on the theme to keep this going throughout the length of the cartoon.
