The short's title.

Status: Lost

In 1947, Paramount Pictures released a Popeye cartoon titled Popeye and the Pirates where Popeye must rescue Olive Oyl from a fierce pirate.

Deleted Scene

In one particular sequence, Popeye is dressed in drag to distract the pirate from manipulating Olive. After successfully doing so, Popeye removes all his womanly clothes and the pirate sees through his disguise resulting in a fight.

Upon close viewing, it becomes apparent that between one frame where Popeye removes the clothes and where the pirate confronts him, a significant portion of the cartoon was cut. When the short was restored for the Popeye the Sailor: The 1940s Volume 2 Blu-Ray set in 2019, a disclaimer before the beginning states that the scene wasn’t cut just for television but for theatrical release as well given the censorship codes then and it is assumed that this scene has been destroyed many decades ago.[1]

As a result of this, it is very likely that this lost scene will never resurface.
