<review><reviewbody>Similar to the &quot;Popeye&quot; and other animated versions on this theme.  Firemen were not always seen as skilled as they are today.  But were always seen as &quot;Good Guys.&quot; And, in this version, the Damsel in distress wins again. The stereotypes are everywhere:  The horse-drawn engine, the fire pole, the net, the steam engine, etc.  Great fun.</reviewbody>
