In 1933, a squint-eyed sailor with outsized forearms danced a hula with Betty Boop--and began one of the great series in American cartoon history. Popeye had made his debut in Elzie Segar's comic strip "Thimble Theater" four years earlier, and the jump to animation only increased his popularity: by 1938, he rivaled Mickey Mouse. During the '30s, when Disney was creating lushly colored, realistic animation, the Fleischer Studio presented a gritty black-and-white world that was ideally suited to the bizarre misadventures of Popeye, Olive, and Bluto. The animators ignored anatomy, with hilarious results: Olive Oyl's rubbery arms wrap around her body like twin anacondas, and her legs often end up in knots. Exactly what Popeye and Bluto saw in this scrawny, capricious inamorata was never clear, but they fought over her endlessly. As the series progressed, the artists grew more sophisticated: in "Blow Me Down" (1933), Olive does some clumsy steps to "The Mexican Hat Dance;" one year later, in "The Dance Contest," she and Popeye perform deft spoofs of tango, tap, and apache steps. The stories are little more than strings of gags linked by a theme: Popeye and Bluto as rival artists; Popeye and Olive as nightclub dancers or café owners. But the minimal stories allow the artists to fill the screen with jokes, over-the-top fights, and muttered asides from the characters. Cartoon fans have waited for years for the "Popeye" shorts to appear on disc, and the Popeye the Sailor 1933-1938 was worth waiting for. The transfers were made from beautifully clear prints with only minimal dust and scratches. The set is loaded with extras, including eight "Popumentaries," numerous commentaries, and 16 silent cartoons. It's a set to treasure. (Unrated, suitable for ages 10 and older: violence, tobacco use, ethnic stereotypes) --Charles Solomon

- When it Comes to Cartoons, Older is BetterThe old Popeye cartoons were great fun to watch again, especially considering the slop passing as cartoons nowadays. The only part that sucked was the message at the beginning of the DVD's warning that some of the Popeye cartoons are offensive. I say to the craphead who wrote that dorky warning, "Shut your stupid face ... there is nothing offensive at all about these classic Popeye cartoons."

- Best Cartoon Set I Own!This DVD set is fantastic. The cartoons are beautifully restored and have good sound. It's nice to finally be able to watch these cartoons as they were intended to be seen, instead of as substandard public domain transfers. There are awesome documentaries about animation history in general and the Fleischer studios. There are even a few other cartoons included to show examples of very early animation. Some of the commentaries are really informative too. The Popeye shorts are funny and entertaining ... Read More

- Vintage Popeye Cartoons, on DVD.This collection represents Popeye, at his best, mostly in Black and White, the animation is great, and is far superior to the Popeye cartoons, that later appeared on television in syndication in the sixties.
