A Date to Skate

Plot

Throwing caution to the winds, Popeye takes it upon himself to teach Olive Oyl how to roller-skate. Unfortunately, Olive proves to be a most inapt pupil, and before long she finds herself careening helplessly throughout the city, just barely missing the cars and pedestrians that whizz by her at every turn. Worst of all, it looks like Popeye won't be able to skate to her rescue--he's inadvertently left his spinach back at home. Chock full of brilliant "chase and perspective" gags, A Date to Skate is one of the last of the Fleischer "Popeye" cartoons produced in New York before the studio relocated to Miami. It also marks the final Fleischer appearance of Mae Questel as the voice of Olive Oyl. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
