    • Trivia
      This short has gained some infamy for its use of a sped-up voice clip used for the mouse, which includes swearing.
    • Goofs
      Popeye's legs are sticking through a broken window, and he lowers the sash completely, as though his legs aren't even there.
    • Quotes

      Mouse: [sped up dialogue] Oh yeah, because I don't need too much of it, it isn't a big scene, now let me get something I can really read, will ya? These words trip me up, goddamn, but I don't like that.

    Popeye vs the Mouse
    Shuteye Popeye (1952)

    ** 1/2 (out of 4)

    Popeye is asleep but his incredibly loud and annoying snoring is keeping up a mouse trying to get some sleep behind the wall. Pretty soon the two are doing battle in hopes that one of them can get some sleep.

    SHUTEYE POPEYE is a pretty good entry in the later day series. I don't think anyone would claim the 50's Popeye was as good as the shorts from the 30s but this one here manages to have a couple very good laughs that make it worth viewing as well as a nice little twist at the end. There's no question that the highlight comes when Popeye plants a mouse trap and then gets emotionally connected when he thinks he has hurt the mouse too badly.
