Popeye – Ancient Fistory (1953)

In this medieval-themed Popeye short, Popeye and Bluto compete for Princess Olive’s hand in a hilarious fairy-tale parody. As knights in shining armor, both suitors try to impress the princess with bravery, strength, and elaborate courtship — but their rivalry quickly spirals into jousts, brawls, and over-the-top slapstick chaos. Bluto plays dirty as usual, turning every challenge into an unfair fight, until Popeye finally reaches for his spinach. The result is a comical twist on classic fairy-tale romance with pure 1950s Popeye energy.
