little issues

Popeye and Bluto are reading the Variety newspaper when they come upon an ad from Miss Olive who is looking for a musician to join her band. They both rush to audition. Bluto stuffs Popeye into the mail. Popeye finds spinach in one of the packages. This is a Famous Studios cartoon. The animation is fine but I still like the classic better. I don't like the Variety newspaper which places the location in Hollywood. The boys are not usually musicians. There are a lot of little things that don't really fit. I also wish that the music is better although of course Popeye does play the theme.
