At the end of LAT today we watched the 1936 Soviet cartoon "Brave Sailor," who is totally not supposed to resemble "Popeye".
 

Quote

 

The cartoon is a brave sailor will tell us the story of the adventures of a brave sailor who was shipwrecked and began to be hunted by an evil whale and swallowed our hero, but what happened to the sailor look next.

Description:
Year: 1936
Studio: Soyuzmultfilm
Directors: Victor Smirnov
