Let's Sing With Popeye is a 1934 Screen Songs animated short, produced by Fleischer Studios and directed by Dave Fleischer. It was later re-released by Official Films in the 1950s.
The song featured in this cartoon was the Popeye theme song "I'm Popeye the Sailor Man", written by Sammy Lerner. The animation for this film is taken from the first Popeye cartoon, Popeye the Sailor, which was originally presented as part of the Betty Boop series.
The entire cartoon is approximately 2 minutes long, with over half of that given to the credits and the bouncing ball. This shorter than normal cartoon was produced as a regular weekly feature for Paramount's Saturday morning matinee "Popeye Club".
Famous quotes containing the word sing:
“A song is no song unless the circumstance is free and fine. If a singer sing from a sense of duty or from seeing no way to escape, I had rather have none. Those only can sleep who do not care to sleep; and those only write or speak best who do not too much respect the writing or the speaking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
