Hey, Olive, cut it out – it looks nautical in front of the crew! “Mutiny Ain't Nice” is another exploration in to the deeply dysfunctional relationship between Popeye and Olive Oyl.

Directed in 1938 by Dave Fleischer, voice work by Frank Mercer and Mae Questel, animation by William Sturm and David Tendlar and uncredited musical direction by Sammy Timberg (to save costs, and please the audience, all the music was familiar public domain pieces already).
