Fun Disney war propaganda, 1 June 2004
7/10
Author: TheOtherFool from The Netherlands

Popeye is fighting against the Japanese enemy when he gets a couple of weeks off to see his family. He decides to visit his 4 nephews, who began a 'home defence' program on their own. They decide to try it on Popeye himself so he gets slapped around, beaten and kicked by his nephews so hard, he decided to go back to the ocean to fight the Japanese again. Anything's better than this bunch!

This short propaganda film isn't as racist or offensive as others, except for the moment Popeye's nephews ask him: 'Did you kill any Japs, uncle Popeye?' and he answers: 'yes, we're all doing our duty!'.

But mostly it's just slapstick-comedy, quite entertaining I must say: 7/10.
