Prepare for 17 newly adventures featuring our favorite spinach eating sailor man and his lovely leading lady, Olive OyI. This set finishes out Popeye s second decade of screen stardom with cartoons originally reIeased to movie theaters in 1948 and 1949. Providing more gIobe trotting and time-traveling adventures, the cartoons have been restored to Iook their Iavish best utilizing the techniques of three cIassic color systems. The Polacolor process was a short Iived 3 strip technique designed to be an alternative to Technicolor®. The studio gave it a try on a group of cartoons produced during this period, and the results are particuIarIy striking with fresh restorations that now show their proper, vibrant hues. ln these cartoons, Popeye and Olive traveI back to prehistoric times, ancient Greece and the Sherwood Forest. They visit Plymouth Rock and the Old West, then battle assorted baddies in the Egyptian desert, the freezing Arctic and the Ozarks. Of course, Bluto is back as Popeye s number one nemesis, tackIing the saiIor man as a rival lumberjack, a fanatic flying ace and a lecherous vaudeviIle hypnotist. But that s not aIl. Popeye also has his fists full with a pair of pet dogs, irritating housefIies and a quartet of spinach hating, sound-aIike nephews. He uItimateIy meets his match when OIive decides to throw her hat in the ring and makes a run for U.S. president! HiIarious sight gags, gorgeous cartoon art and more action-packed goodness from the goIden age of animation: Popeye the SaiIor: The 1940s, Volume 3 wiII Ieave you rooting and toot-tooting for more! |
