Synopsis

Popeye takes Olive on a boat ride, but their peaceful outing is interrupted when she spots a pirate ship. They are soon captured, and Popeye must rescue Olive from the pirate captain, who initially appears charming. Popeye attempts various tricks, including dressing in drag, but none are successful until he consumes spinach. Fortunately, a passing swordfish, who is reading a Popeye comic book, recognizes him and feeds him the spinach depicted on the comic's cover.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
