But I will say nothing, and leave it as the A.I. told it to me. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey Mr. Smarty Pants, tell me about the old cartoon, PopEye Seeing Red White and Blue." The cartoon you're referring to, titled "Seeing Red, White 'N' Blue," is an animated short featuring the iconic character Popeye the Sailor. Here are the details about this cartoon: Creator: The cartoon was produced by Famous Studios, a division of Paramount Pictures, which was responsible for producing Popeye cartoons during the mid-20th century. Year of Production: "Seeing Red, White 'N' Blue" was released in 1953. Plot: In this cartoon, Popeye is portrayed as a patriotic American who expresses his love for the United States. The storyline revolves around Popeye singing about the colors of the American flag (red, white, and blue) and showing his pride for the country. The cartoon features typical Popeye antics and humor, along with patriotic themes. Controversy: The cartoon "Seeing Red, White 'N' Blue" became controversial primarily due to its depiction of political themes during the early 1950s, a period characterized by heightened anti-communist sentiment and the Red Scare in the United States. The Red Scare was a period of intense fear of communism and Soviet influence, leading to suspicions, investigations, and censorship of individuals and works perceived as sympathetic to communism. Political Context: During the 1950s, the United States was deeply engaged in the Cold War with the Soviet Union, and there was significant political pressure to promote anti-communist sentiments and patriotism. Some viewers and critics interpreted "Seeing Red, White 'N' Blue" as a form of political propaganda aimed at reinforcing American nationalism and anti-communist ideology. (Me again, so exactly WHAT is wrong with American Nationalism and being an anti commie, if you are a natural born citizen?) I said I would keep my mouth shut, im zipping my lips now. Enjoy the show, Legacy: Despite its controversial context, "Seeing Red, White 'N' Blue" remains a notable example of the historical intersection of animation, politics, and popular culture during the Cold War era. Overall, "Seeing Red, White 'N' Blue" is a Popeye cartoon that reflects the patriotic sentiments of its time and is remembered for its association with the political climate of the early 1950s in the United States.
