One thing I find about 
ealadubh as a subject is he can play a lot of different roles very well, from arrogant royal to hapless bystander.
To get a sense of him in this role I spent a lot of time looking at Popeye's Arabian Nights toons.

Is it one of the two-reel Arabian Nights ones made in Technicolor? Those are easy to find, apparently in the public domain.
I watched the one where Olive is dreaming up her Aladdin story, the villain at the end falls down a flight of stairs, out of a window, into the ocean and comes up zapped into a fish.

I'm familiar with those 2, Popeye as a parrot isn't in them. It was in a post-Fleischer short theatrical cartoon.
Yep, I remember that scene with the fishy villain. Fun fact: the scenes with Olive as a screenwriter were post-Fleischer framing additions to the original Fleischer two-reeler. I don't recall whether it was also a two reeler or edited down to standard cartoon length.

It's the longest of the three Arabian Nights ones, running at a little over 20 minutes while the others are about 17, so they didnt cut anything when the framing device was added. When was that done? The two-reel short was released in 1939, so Mr Bug Goes To Town was still a year or so off, and the animation style of the whole cartoon remains consistent. What they don't use for that Aladdin one is any three-dimensional model set effects.
