Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: lighthearted; themes: strength through nutrition, sailor character, animated comedy; style notes: cartoon animation with flat colors, simple framing, and bright studio lighting

A cartoon sailor character is shown in a room with metal walls and a window showing a park; he holds a syringe-like object and sings about eating spinach. No names are spoken for any characters, and no cast is credited in the film description.

“I'm strong to the finish, cause I eats me spinach. I'm Popeye the sailor man.” 5:31 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
