I may be biased, but i just love the cartoons from the 30-40-50's... So this one is a nice addition to my growing collection ! However, the correct title is 'Ancient Fistory'. Great stuff !

Popeye plays Cinderella in this gender-reversed version of the tale, with Olive Oyl as the princess giving the ball, and Bluto as Popeyes employer and rival. Popeyes fairy godfather changes a can of spinach into a limousine that will change back at midnight. Popeye wins Olives heart, but Bluto butts in and foils Popeye with a cannon. Fortunately, at midnight, Popeyes limo turns back into a can of spinach, which Popeye is able to use with the usual results. As it sounds here, this is a pretty wacked-out version of Cinderella, but thats the great thing about cartoonsthey can do…

this gets fairly boring fairly quickly. the animations not great. I love popeyes voice, olive oils head....and the holes the cannonball makes, but the story we know too well and seeing popeye outside is normal setting doesnt do him much good. there must be better popeyes around here somewhere.......................................
