Popeye The Sailor The 1940s Volume 3

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

Prepare for 17 newly adventures featuring our favorite spinach-eating sailor man and his lovely leading lady, Olive Oyl. This set finishes out Popeye's second decade of screen stardom with cartoons originally released to movie theaters in 1948 and 1949. Providing more globe-trotting and time-traveling adventures, the cartoons have been restored to look their lavish best utilizing the techniques of three classic color systems. The Polacolor process was a short-lived 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 particularly striking -- with fresh restorations that now show their proper, vibrant hues.
