Popeye

Digitally Restored Classic Collection

Based on the character from Elzie Segar's Thimble Theatre comic strip, Popeye the Sailor was first brought to the screen in 1933, by animator Max Fleischer and his brother, Dave. Although Fleischer left the series in 1942, Mae Questel-who had given voice to his best-known original creation Betty Boop-continued as Popeye's girl, Olive Oyl, until 1957. Here they are with Popeye's arch-rival Bluto, in ten colorful cartoons that put the spinach empowered one through his paces during everything from April Fool's Day to an election. You'll see Popeye up against a gopher, termites, and a mouse; battling Bluto in the ring; competing for Olive's affections (and vote) as well as taxi fares-and even fathering twins!
