Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Michael_Elliott Fleets of Stren'th (1942) *** (out of 4)This WWII era short has Popeye getting screamed at by his senior officer and he is forced to stay in attention. Just as this happens some planes start attacking his ship and it's battle time.FLEETS OF STREN'TH isn't nearly one of the better Popeye shorts but there's enough action to make it worth sitting through. Obviously the ship comes under attack and before you know it Popeye is pretty much battling everyone on his own. The highlight of the film is when Popeye pretty much becomes a plane and flies into the sky to take on the enemies. As you'd expect, the animation throughout is top-notch and there are some funny moments sprinkled throughout the short.

ccthemovieman-1 Of the three "wartime" Popeye cartoons thus far (more was on the way), this was the wildest and most entertaining.It is more cartoon-like in that it's one absurd scene after another, the kind you only get with a cartoon.In here, Popeye, by himself, battles an entire fleet of airplanes off an enemy ship. It's unbelievable! Some of the earlier scenes are very funny and clever before the whole thing really gets frenetic with Popeye downing his spinach and turning into an airplane himself! This is really wild, scenes that will sound ridiculous if I described them in detail. Suffice to say, it's definitely a fun one to watch.
