Shuteye Popeye (1952)

Popeye the Sailor snores while he sleeps, which disturbs Mouse, who is also trying to sleep. A war breaks out between Popeye and Mouse which Mouse eventually wins. Animation by Al Eugster and George Germanetti. Story by Irving Spector. Music by Winston Sharples. Produced in 1952.


Popeye vs a mouse this time. Popeye is sleeping, and his snoring is bothering a mouse that lives in the house with him. Mouse tries various methods of getting rid of the snoring, (by getting rid of Popeye) but, unfortunately, all his plans come to naught. Popeye is not really appreciative of the mouseÂs attempts either, and HE tries to get rid of the mouse too. Pretty soon, spinach gets involved, and one of them meets an unexpected end!
Not bad, like the catch 22 going on here, where the mouse is sort of the good guy, even though it IS PopeyeÂs house.
