The Shocking Truths Behind Popeye's CENSORED CARTOONS!

66 here. I've seen every one of these classics. These liberals want to ban everything yet they promote antisemitism and violence
Live long and prosper Popeye

I’m done with this pc plastic banana boy. Hey, here’s a stereo type for your virgin ears! Did you know that some of the Japanese war fighters killed and cannibalized our captured soldiers during wwii. I’m not worried about a popeye cartoon from that era. Life is harsh, and if people don’t get it soon they will end up in a heap o’ hurt.

"Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves" was never banned. I grew up in the 1970s watching it on TV. It's not only the greatest Popeye cartoon of all time but one the Fleisher Studio's greatest achievements.

Sloppy, shameful research plain and simple. This brilliant cartoon may be banned by members Generation Z-minus, who never watch anything that was made before they were born regardless of its merit, but it had never been never banned prior to that.

Tell the crybabies to shut up, get over it !

Tell the crybabies to shut up, get over it !

We should air them all.

We were attacked by Japan. Figure it out!

You have to remember what had just happened to start the Pacific front of WW2 . America has just gotten attacked at Pearl Harbor and there was no way the enemy was going to be portrayed in a sensitive ,politically correct manner. Ridiculous for today's generations to have expected that in a different period of our history

The beginning of woke.

the white guy always wins;bullshit!!

Even as a child, I realized there was a lot wrong with some of the morality concerning Popeye and his adventures. I was smart enough to ask my mom questions about it and she was open enough with me that it made sense and gave me perspective on our human interactions. It’s all so insidious but we watched them anyway because it was all we had on TV.

Right or wrong....nothing is learned from an erased history.

The propaganda them is childish compared to today against our own people!

Pardon?

Unsuitable for a bunch of ovelyr sensetive bleeding heart virtue signaling liberals.

Woke nut cases need to leave the cartoon's alone! Or read a little American history!
It's not a stereotype, if it is, or was, true!

OH PLEEZE.........just stop with the "prejudice" BS.......It's a CARTOON and EVERYONE from every race, nationality or otherwise is made fun of. Nobody took takes it seriously except for dumb butt "progressive" liberals who look for problems where there weren't or aren't any.
These old Popeye cartoons were great when they came out and still are.

I'd rather ban the word, "icon." It's used so often that it has no meaning.

Here is some of the [possible] issue as I see it:
1. Popeye, Olive Oil, Bluto/Bruto/Blutus/Brutus, Wimpy -- are caricatures of white people that are understood to be a general characteristic of "certain" whites but not all whites.
2. But the other caricatures of native americans, blacks, arabs, asians, & other peoples were understood to be a general characteristic of their whole people and not only "certain" ones.
So, if Popeye looks or acts funny, it's because he's Popeye & not because he's white, but those "others" who are not white looked & acted funny because that's just how all their "kind" are.

These cartoons are great!

Are we suppose to believe that there wasn't any Japanese-made anti-American propaganda around the same time? 🤨🤔

In the first place it’s documented that not all native Americans were peace loving people! Ask general custer! This what the “woke left” has done to us. But I bet Popeyes with a drunk Irishman or a marble mouth Italian with a big nose wouldn’t be considered offensive. Or dare I say a Jewish person with a lot of money 💰 overcharging people. It’s really sad what has become of American entertainment

Man, that Ali Babb 40 Theves cartoon was my all-time favorite Popeye cartoon. The Popeye - Bluto slugfests were only matched by a Jack Kirby slugfest. I didn't see any racial stuff as a kid at all. Just pure action and the kind of artwork that disappeared in later iterations of Popeye cartoons by the other studios. This is the only "quality" Popeye cartoons to me. They were longer cartoons and he was uttering a lot of grown-up stuff under his muttering breath. It was always a treat to see that particular episode for me to randomly catch it on TV.

🙄🙄😂🤣😂

These old classic cartoons are funny AF and always will be .

These stories are closer to History than what certain people are saying today what they think is the truth…

"SQUAW" IS NATIVE FOR A LADIES' PART IN FRONT DOWN BELOW!🤨

They got a lot of nerve censoring almost 90 year old cartoons with some shows today the eff word is every other word

The entire world is far too weak and sensitive about everything.

I think the correct term for Fugate's face is "Backpfeifengesicht!"

Hello! as one of the recognized experts on Max Fleischer and The Fleischer Studios, I am curious about the sources for your comments. First, I saw all of the Popeye cartoons when they were first released to television starting in 1956. The entire package, including the WWII cartoons were included. Seeing them, as a child I understood their historical context and saw them as products of their times. We kids talked about such things and agreed that by that time we no longer viewed Germans and Japanese in that manner. And it was good that we were exposed to such things because it taught history. However, the WWII cartoons with Japanese caricatures were heavily edited in the 1970s, and some like YOU'RE A SAP, MR. JAP withdrawn from distribution because of the PC elements. United Artists, then owner of the library voluntary "withdrew"these cartoons because of these reasons. They were not "banned" as so many insist on saying. A number of Famous Studios Popeye cartoons like POPEYE A LA MODE were also "withdrawn" because of the "Negro Cannibals."

As for POPEYE THE SAILOR MEETS ALI BABA'S 40 THEIVES, this was NEVER banned from television. Not even the the cartoons returned to television in the 1970s. I am curious as to where is was "banned" from broadcast because it continued to be aired in the 1990s and 2000s. In fact It was shown in the Fleischer Father/Son programming block I did for TCM in 2016.

he says banned but not when...
i watched all these popeyes back in the 60s and even 70s
including the wartime episodes

I like the ones where Popeye fights the NAZIS

Oh they portrayed indians without depth, like Popeye and Olive oil had tons of depth?There were woke people in the 20s?

Censorship is subjective.
Popeyes opposition use stereotypical depictions, yes. Im going to say it now.... These stereo - types are very accurate up to a point. They are not baseless and anybody that thinks so is blind

Gone just like Aunt Jemima. Due to very sensitive people

Honey, I was born the 50s and I seen all these in the 60s must’ve abandoned him in the late 70s early 80s when people started getting weird

At age 72, I've seen most of these cartoons, along with those I grew up with. Guess what, we saw them for what they were, CARTOONS.

Just because some people are offended, doesn't mean they are right.

I grew up watching these cartoons after school and on weekends. I don't recall anyone being damaged for life or influenced into evil behavior by them. Kids understand the difference between reality and comedy at a pretty young age. Shielding them from this opportunity is a mistake unless your purpose is to fill the world with fools..

So take that Jack Mercer.

The hell with what Democrats think tired of them screwing up the world

The hell with what Democrats think tired of them screwing up the world

Nothing racist about the presentation of these cartoons. Just more anti Caucasian harris democratic 👿 propaganda. 😵‍💫

LOOKS LIKE HOLLYWOOD TODAY..........

Sounds like to me that all of these banned cartoons, and I will say again, CARTOONS, are the victims of a bunch of mamby-pamby cry babies who go around with their feelings on their shoulders. Why don't you get a grip on yourself and allow people to make up their own minds. Jeez, Bunch of whiners!!!

We live in proverbial "interesting times". I don't understand why stereotyping is " bad" unless it's White people being lampooned. Every day. I'm not offended but maybe I'm just old fashioned and I have learned how to simply take a joke. What a thin-skinned, humorless Society we have become.

I thought Crusoe was called Bluto .

It was a much better world then.
