Popeye: The Sailor Man (75th Anniversary Collectors Edition) restored.
Popeye first appeared in a 1929 daily comic strip called  Thimble Theater by Elsie Segar and caught the country by storm. Popeye had  nothing but his wits, a funny way of talking, and a crush on Olive Oyl. His  fame eventually caught the attention of the Max Fleischer Studio and by  1933 Popeye had made his big screen debut in a Betty Boop short entitled  Popeye The Sailor. The WWII years brought change to the spinach munching  sailorman. In 1942, Popeye's uniform changed permanently to Navy whites and  the same year, Paramount took over the production studio from the Fleischer  brothers and renamed it Famous Studios, which continued to produce some  superb entries in the Popeye series. In today's politically correct cartoon  landscape of talking sponges and ninja turtles, Popeye is a welcome  reminder of a simpler era. This special Double-DVD Collector's Edition  contains 34 Popeye cartoons from the Fleischer and Famous Studios period,  including the three Fleischer 'Color Specials' Sinbad ('36), Ali Baba ('37)  and Aladdin ('39) -- some of the very best ever produced. All cartoons have  been digitally restored and remastered from the best 35mm and 16mm film  materials available.Bonus Features:Commentary by noted animation  historian Jerry Beck| Popeye Classic Movie Poster Gallery| Special  Collector's Edition "Liner Notes" Booklet written by Jerry Beck| Animated  Motion Menus.Specs:1-DVD5 + 1-DVD9; Dolby Digital Mono; 258  minutes; Color/B&W; 1.33:1 Aspect Ratio; MPAA -  NR; Year - 1936-57; SRP -  $19.99.
