Saw this at Comic-Con and it looks great. They gave us a sailor hat to promote the DVD.
That’s interesting. Commentaries by whom?
I had a great animated gif of Popeye, but he died from eating contaminated spinach so I deleted it, lol.
Not quite in the ‘theme of things’ here!
see people, its stuff like this that makes bill o reilly hate our freedom.

So where can I get it? How much does it cost and how many cartoons are on the DVD?
Popeye was the best non PC cartoon of all time.....
I’ve been wondering since I first saw a commercial for the set, has it been edited to be more PC for our times? I love the old cartoons, but they never show them in their original versions on television.
When I was growing up in SoCal there was a station in LA that played a couple hours of Popeye cartoons on Sunday(?) mornings. The host would draw Popeye characters on a big art pad and tell stories about the history of the cartoons.
Are these the original b&w E.C. Segar cartoons? IIRC they start with the credits displayed on an opening and closing deck doors...
Last week on a long trip my kid and I listened to a Roger Miller CD. At the end of “Kansas City Star”, he says, “Stay tuned - we got a Popeye cartoon comin’ up in a minute”. Of course, my 17 year-old, in spite of his good tast in music, had no clue who Popeye is. He loves Gordon Lightfoot, too, but that line about “dance all night to the 78s” required a history lesson as well.
Wasn’t there some pretty anti-Japanese stuff during the war? Are they going to cut this out or let it be?
Alice, like all members of the Goon tribe, is approximately eight feet tall. She has huge feet, and arms that reach to her knees. Her nose overlaps her chin and is set between two blank, close-set eyes. Her head is totally bald and sits low between wide shoulders. She is completely hairless with the exception of her forearms, lower legs and midsection. In later appearances, Alice appeared wearing a skirt and flowered hat. When Alice spoke, her words would appear as a series of meaningless squiggles.
“We just bought the newly remastered Popeye DVD set. If you’re a fan,
you must see this.”
Thanks for posting.
I bought a Popeye/vintage cartoon DVD out of a “cut-out” bin at Wal-Mart.
It is one of the absolute favorites of my young niece when she comes to visit.
Your post is very helpful because I’ve seen the adverts for it on TV.
You’ve convinced me that it’s worth the $$$ to add to my DVD library.
Remember that one like it was yesterday. Popeye was/is my favorite cartoon character ever. Might have to buy it.
Are these the ones with Brutus or Bluto?
I always thought Bluto was better looking. I mean, Popeye is actually kinda deformed.I could never figure out what Olive saw in him.
Cool. I saw the commercial on TV. I love the black and white Popeyes.
