King of the Mardi Gras
Dave Fleischer film; Jack Mercer, Mae Questel, Gus Wicke
| released: 1935 Sep 27 | duration: 0:08:17 |
Animation. A Mardi Gras celebration, looking pretty much like any carnival. Bluto is a strongman, claiming to be King of the Mardi Gras, and drawing a large crowd. Popeye, nearby, claims only, "I yam what I yam," and has no crowd, but still draws Bluto's wrath. He manages to spoil a balance trick, then tops it with Wimpy in a chair. Olive Oyl then volunteers to be levitated, and Bluto pulls her over and saws her in half. Olive escapes to a roller coaster with the boys in pursuit.
At 02:42, Bluto does magic tricks to make a fishbowl, with 2 fish,
appear in his left hand and then a stick appear in his right hand.
He then balances the fishbowl on top of the stick balanced on his nose.
He then makes 3 balls magically appear in each of his outstretched hands,
and juggles the 3 balls in each hand for 3 seconds while maintaining
the balance.
The entire movie may be seen here.
