Popeye – Matinee Idol (1960)

In this showbiz-themed Popeye short, Popeye and Olive Oyl get wrapped up in the excitement of a movie studio where Bluto is the egotistical star of the latest production. When Popeye is hired as a stunt double, Bluto sees an opportunity to sabotage him on set — turning simple stunts into dangerous, slapstick disasters. As Olive dreams of fame and the director loses control of the chaotic shoot, Popeye endures explosions, falls, and wild props until he finally reaches for his trusty spinach. With newfound strength, Popeye turns the out-of-control movie set into a triumphant comeback.
A fun, energetic cartoon that hilariously spoofs Hollywood filmmaking.
