Watch Alona on the Sarong Seas For Free

hyped garbage

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Alona on the Sarong Seas (1942) *** (out of 4)Popeye and Bluto are resting on an island in the South Seas. All of a sudden they see the beautiful Olive Oyl going by and now it's a chase.This here is a pretty enjoyable entry for the long-running animated short series. As you'd expect, the animation itself is quite good and there's also some wonderful laughs and a good story too. The highlight of the film comes towards the end when Popeye is about to be attacked by some alligators when his spinach comes into play. Fans of the series should enjoy the nice comic tone here as well as the action.

This was a neat "Popeye" short, which despite following the typical formula from the rest of the shorts, it was highly enjoyable to watch, having a nice animation style (With beautiful sceneries and a cute character design) great voice acting and many effective visual gags.It might be not the best "Popeye" animation ever made, but it was pretty good anyway. I highly recommend it to anyone, since this was charming enough to survive the test of time.Also, the little twist at the end was simply amazing. I think that it could be easily considered one of the best endings that any "Popeye" short could have."Alona on the Sarong Seas" was totally worth-watching.

"How can somebody look so right in a sarong?" asks Popeye is one of the many corny - and fun - lines in this one, another episode in which Popeye and Bluto fight over the "gorgeous" (not my words) Olive Oyl.Olive is "Princess Alona" on some South Seas island, where she appears to be alona - where is everyone else? Sailors Popeye and Bluto race off their ship and try to be the first to greet this exotic and sexy woman (in their eyes). I think the guys have aboard ship for too long!Anyway, you can guess the rest, meaning the two guys see who can win the beautiful Alona....with a lot of corny/funny material along(a) the way.

"Alona on the Sarong Seas" is only the second Popeye short filmed by Famous Studios after the Fleischer Brothers Max and Dave, who had negotiated a deal with King Features Syndicate (who owned the rights to the Popeye character), were canned. (You're a Sap, Mr. Jap" was the first.) In "Alona", the competition that Popeye and Bluto had for Olive Oyl took a new twist. She was the Princess Alona, whose South Pacific island home Popeye and Bluto visited, being assigned there and on leave. Popeye, thanks to spinach, escaped a herd of man-eating crocodiles, and had Alona to himself at the end, but he turned out to be dreaming. Popeyes, like other cartoons of World War II, did a good job of spoofing this War, and aided in morale building. This was a different, and amusing, sidelight of the War, illustrating how our soldiers and sailors often dreamed of island girls, as they had been wrenched away from their homes, their mothers, their wives, their girl friends, etc.
