The short's title.
Status: Lost
In 1947, Paramount Pictures released a Popeye cartoon titled 'Popeye and the Pirates' wherein Popeye must rescue Olive Oyl from a fierce pirate.
Lost 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. According to a disclaimer on the 2019 DVD of Popeye 1940’s Collection Vol. 2, 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.
