Little Swee'Pea (or Popeye the Sailor with Little Swee'Pea) is a 1936 American animated short film, released September 25, 1936 and featuring Popeye the Sailor. Summary Popeye visits Olive Oyl, who is too busy to spend the day with him. Instead, she offers Swee'Pea as a companion instead. As an agreeable Popeye exits with Swee'Pea and carriage, he does not notice Swee'Pea's crawling out of his transport and following his protector on all fours: stunned when he does notice the baby's absence, he calls out, turning just as the little fellow escapes his view to return to his provenance.

Popeye scours the carriage, umbrella and all, finally catching sight of the boy as he tucks his head between his legs; as his entire form revolves in the direction of the cage, he calls out. Over by the elephant and scolding the wayward infant, Popeye slips through the bars of the cage: Swee'Pea merrily and swiftly crawls off, and the behemoth's trunk seizes the seething seaman. Twice the elephant wraps Popeye in trunk, quickly spinning the sailor out and into the iron bars of his confines. Ever in the fighting vein, Popeye begins a tug of war with the elephant; Swee'Pea, meanwhile, is playing with a crocodile, crossing its open jaws just before they snap shut. Victory for Popeye as he flings the elephant's untold tons off to the side, taunting the astounded beast as he catches sight of the
