Finally: Popeye

It looks like decent pressings of the animated Popeye cartoons are finally going to be released. I have to admit I have some mixed feelings about the animated Popeye–while the early Fleischer cartoons are great, they also adversely affected the newspaper strip, somewhat wattering down the Popeye charcter. At any rate, if it’s got the Fleischer stuff, I’ll probably buy it. The later stuff I don’t really care about–hopefully one doesn’t have to buy the whole deal just to get the 120 Fleischer shorts.
