Popeye

Good news: Popeye the Sailor vol. 3 will be released on DVD in September (the second volume comes out next week). This will give us all the Popeye cartoons made by the Fleischer studio, plus many of the WWII cartoons when Popeye beat up on the Axis powers. It’ll probably have a disclaimer about the racially-insensitive material, but the cartoons will be uncut, except for the titles — Warners has a habit of reconstructing the titles by affixing a Paramount logo to the old syndication prints.

A couple of DVD releases worth looking out for in the next couple of weeks:
