I Yam What I Yam

"I Yam What I Yam" is a Popeye theatrical cartoon short, starring William "Billy" Costello as Popeye and Charles Lawrence as Wimpy. It was released in 1933 and was the very first official cartoon in the Popeye the Sailor series of theatrical cartoons released by Paramount Pictures, lasting through 1957. It's the second Popeye cartoon overall. The first Popeye cartoon, "Popeye the Sailor," was released as a Betty Boop cartoon. [http://thestuffyougottawatch.com/pop33.html]

The story involves Popeye, Olive Oyl and Wimpy who are shipwrecked and land on an island inhabited by unfriendly American Indians. The final gag showed Popeye punching out the Indian chief causing him to lose his outfit and become another type of Indian, Mahatma Gandhi.

This cartoon is available on DVD in the four-disc set .
