Original Fleischer Theatrical Shorts, Including
the Academy Award-Nominated
Popeye The Sailor was introduced to the American audience in 1933 and became one of the most endearing and successful characters in animation history, mainly because of his unique vernacular and hilarious catch phrases. His adventures were strange, humorous and often supernatural as he traveled all over the world to resolve conflicts with enemies. Much like the other animation icons of the 1930s, the Popeye plots invoked traditional values, possessed uncompromising moral standards and resorted to force only when threatened. A softie for his lady love Olive Oyl, Popeye usually embarked on conflicts with villains like Bluto and Sea Hag when they made a move on his “sweet patootie.” Popeye was usually clobbered at first, until he ate his spinach and gained superhuman strength to defeat his opponent. With his enormous muscular forearms and corncob pipe in mouth, Popeye was always victorious after he ate his spinach.
Popeye The Sailor 1933-1938 Volume 1 includes more than nine hours
of cartoons -- 58 (7- to10-minute) theatrical black-and white-shorts and two
two-reeler 20-minute color cartoons. Some of the most memorable shorts from the
DVD are the remastered “Blow Me Down!” and a cameo appearance by Betty Boop
dressed as a hula dancer in the 1933 “Popeye the Sailor” cartoon, the short in
which Popeye made his first animated appearance. The four-Disc DVD set also

Our Review of Popeye the Sailor
Although there is a lot to say about this Popeye the Sailor boxed set, I can sum it up in a few words - Fantastic. The animation has been visually restored to give us a great sense of what it was like to see these cartoons for the first time. The cartoons themselves are classis, and although a little violent for very young kids, are extremely entertaining. The cartoons also provide, albeit non intentionally, a historical lesson. The moods, attitudes and events of yesteryear are shown within these shorts and it becomes very obvious for a few of them.
There are also a number of really great bonus features that come with this DVD such as commentaries and retrospective documentaries as well as a bunch of other tidbits thrown in. This is one DVD that I would highly recommend!!!
