Plot
Trivia
- The Anvil Chorus Girl marks the first Popeye the Sailor short to be produced following Famous Studios' return to New York City from their previous studio in Miami, Florida.
- This is a color remake of the Fleischer Studios Popeye short Shoein' Hosses.
- Beginning with this short, Mae Questel, who had previously voiced Olive Oyl until Famous Studios (then known as Fleischer Studios) moved to Miami in 1938 (at which point Margie Hines took over the role), resumes voicing Olive.
- Jackson Beck, who was the announcer and narrator on Mutual Broadcasting System radio series The Adventures of Superman from 1943 to 1950, makes his first appearance as the voice of Bluto; he held the role as Bluto (and that character's redesigned TV version, Brutus) in the Popeye the Sailor theatrical and TV shorts until he was replaced by Allan Melvin in the 1978 CBS Saturday morning cartoon The All New Popeye Hour.
