Pleasant Short

Eugene, The Jeep (1940)

*** (out of 4)

There's a gift at the door and Popeye opens it to see a cute little puppy. There's a note attached from Olive Oyl asking that the dog be loved but at night he be put outside. Night comes and the dogs doesn't want to agree to that.

EUGENE, THE JEEP is a pretty funny and clever short from the Popeye series that manages to once again feature some terrific animation as well as some nice laughs along the way. The film manages to have a lot of fast action and especially once the finale comes and the dog just refuses to go outside. The grumpy Popeye is certainly the highlight as he grows more frustrated as the dog continues to not do what he's told.
