Trivia:

Many of the backgrounds for this and other early Popeye cartoons were 3D. The backgrounds were built on a large circular stage that was rotated in front of the camera. The characters were then superimposed over this three-dimensional background.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: The sound of the dynamos (illustrating Popeye's spinach-empowered bicep) makes a brief false entrance five seconds before the accompanying visual.

Quotes:

Popeye: Who's gonna make who like chicken fricassicassissy?

The Best Popeye Cartoon

That I can think of anyway. This Popeye cartoon is the funniest and most exciting short ever made, counting Disney and Warner Brothers, too. I especially like the songs, Sinbad's (Bluto) theme, and the song that the two-headed giant sings as he beats the tar out of Popeye. The best scene has Popeye taking care of Sinbad's giant bird.
