Get ready to celebrate with cans of spinach as Warner Home Video celebrates the spinach-eating icon with a complete library of classic theatrical Popeye shorts made and produced by Paramount Pictures between 1933-1957, the made-for-TV five minute shorts (1960-1962) produced by King Feature Syndicated TV and other Popeye cartoon versions updated for television over the next twenty years off and on.

This should be great news for anyone who's a Popeye fan!

I used to watch the Popeye Show's on KTLA for a long time hosted by Los Angeles radio and Television personality Tom Hatten (who now files entertainment reports for KNX-AM (1070) and the five-minute made-for-TV shorts (1960-62) on KTTV and KCOP in the 1970's and 80's.

What are your thoughts of the upcoming Popeye cartoon collections/releases to DVD?

Thank's Bossradio93 for this great news. I remember since I was a kid "Popeye" was a great show. I remember the Paramount theatrical version from the Flesicher/Famous era (except the AAP ones) and the KFS version from the 1960's. I remember WNEW/WNYW-TV in New York City used to run the KFS version and even sometimes the AAP version used for TV with the Paramount copyrights. That brings back memories. There could be numerous "Popeye" cartoons that are in the Public Domain could be on cheap DVD's somewhere with the theatrical Paramount titles from the Famous era and the AAP titles from the TV era with some of the Popeye two-reelers like "Popeye Meets Sinbad the Sailor" and "Popeye Meets Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves".

Tom Hatten was a pretty good cartoonist when he drew the Popeye characters from time to time while providing information on the cartoons before the next short aired.

KTLA aired the series "The Popeye Show" from 8:00am till 10:00 or 11:00am on Sunday mornings in the '70's and '80's that featured contests, games and prizes in addition to the Popeye shorts.

KTTV and KCOP aired the 1960-62 five-minute Popeye shorts in the afternoons around 2:00 or 2:30pm when most kids rushed home from school as it ended while KTLA had the 1933-57 Paramount/Famous Studios versions.

I was at a Suncoast Motion Picture Company store in Downey, California a couple of years ago and picked up the "Popeye 75th Anniversary Collection" on DVD and it's terrific, a little quirky to some who are fans of Popeye and want something more.

Once the cartoons are in the restoration process, you won't see the AAP (Associated Artists Productions) logo when the DVD's are released next year, like the Looney Tunes packages which are beautifully restored and are a real treat to enjoy!

To view the Popeye 75th Anniversary cartoon package which contains 85 or 86 five-minute shorts (1960-62), click here.

I can't wait to get the 1933-57 Popeye collection when released!!

Groovy!

...is because, when Associated Artists Productions acquired the entire 'Popeye' theatrical cartoon "package" in 1956 [with concurrent 1955-'57 releases added after their theatrical distribution contracts ended], they HAD to eliminate the Paramount logos at the beginning and end, for legal reasons. Thus, the refilmed "A.A.P" titles...on the "master negatives"! Fortunately, most of the original Paramount prints HAVE survived, and you'll be seeing those on DVD (as you probably did on Cartoon Network's "POPEYE SHOW" a few years back), 'Aaron'!!
