At long last, our interminably long wait is finally over. Folks, THIS is the genuine article! MILLIONS of loyal Fleischer fans have awaited these magnificent animated masterpieces for over fifty years. Warner's digital remastering of these priceless Popeye classics Popeye the Sailor: 1933-1938, Vol. 1 ingeniously recaptures all the incredible brilliance and glory of this matchless example of the animator's art. The Fleischer Brothers Studios (Max & Dave) not only pioneered, developed, and perfected animation, but lovingly created the finest, most fluid, most meticulously rendered cartoon character animations in the history of the industry. Of all the Fleischer Brothers' many masterworks, 'Popeye The Sailor' was and IS the acknowledged creme de la creme! Warner Studios deserves the undying gratitude of all TRUE Fleischer Popeye fans. A thousand cheers for Warner Studios and all their gifted digital remastering craftsmen! When and only when they have returned ALL the great vintage Popeye episodes (DVD volumes 1,2, et al, especially the Fleischer and early Paramount Studios' work) to their original clarity and brilliance can I be happily transmuted to that great Fleischer Studio in the sky.

I have waited for this release for a long time.....As I have worked in Television, I had a few of these from "Master" copies lying in the Vault of some of the facilities I have worked at. I still have the 2 3/4" tapes
(this was BEFORE VHS and Betamax) This is when only "people in the biz" had their own 3/4" VTR's (anybody remember the "Columbo" episode with Bill Shatner that used his 3/4 as a murder alibi?) This is the one release that I and many,many others have been waiting for. Alot of us are in for some great hours of memories. (Sinbad, with real colors!!! Boola, the 2 headed giant, the winking giant Rok ("wreck that ship.....but bring me the woman") It's going to look fantastic upconverted to 1080i, but somehow these should be watched on a 23" DuMont B & W set.
Now all they have to do is remaster and release "Diver Dan" and I can go on to the great beyond.

WOW, they are finally going to release the original Popeye cartoons!!! This is a dream come true!! Many people do not know the awsome beginnings of the Popeye cartoon series animated by the Max Fleischer Studios, but these are some of the finest examples of animation ever made!! I know, some of you will say "Popeye -- classic animation??, I don't think so", but these are only the people that do not know the original Black & White Popeye cartoons made by Fleischer Studios. To compare the Max Fleischer Popeye cartoons to the Famous Studios Popeye cartoons is like comparing Disney's "Snow White" to Disney's made for TV animation. Even if you have seen the "colorized" versions of the original Popeye cartoons, you have missed an awful lot, since the colorized versions were hastily re-traced with simplified backgrounds inserted. Max Fleischer actually patented a method of using 3D models as backgrounds that moved in perspective as the characters moved. The results are nothing short of spectacular!! This technique was used around a dozen times in the original Popeye cartoon series, but all of them were cut out in the colorized versions (except for the 2 longer Popeye cartoons that were originally made in color). Also the Popeye character is soooo much funnier and less pitiful in the original series with Popeye always staying in his true character and muttering something highly irreverent under his breath. There have only been a handfull of these original cartoons available in the "Public Domain" for many years, and have been put into about a zillion different combinations, BUT THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!!!! This is a real treat for true animation fans, and a must have for true Popeye fans.

Those of you who have been downloading some of these shorts(in bad quality and damaging coloring) know why this DVD and the volumes that follow are the pride and joy of animation and popeye fans. Those of you who haven't had a chance to taste the glory of the golden age of animation and popeye will have to wait for the DVD to understad what the rest of us are fussing over. Pure animation magic!

The release of the original Fleischer "Popeye" cartoons on DVD is great news for animation fans! Perhaps this will lead to the official release of the Flesicher "Betty Boop" series.
