  • Ended
Popeye started out as a character in E.C. Segar's comic strip "Thimble Theatre" in 1929. He first appeared in the strip, which starred Castor Oyl as the main character, in 1929 and quickly became a fan favorite. In due time he had taken over the strip.''''The sailor made his first theatrical appearance on July 14, 1933 in the Fleischer Betty Boop cartoon "Popeye the Sailor." ''''Following that, Max and Dave Fleischer made him the star of his own cartoon. The Fleischers produced the Popeye cartoon between 1933 and 1942. (Represented here as "Season One")''''In 1942 Popeye passed into the hands of Famous / Paramount studios, and they turned out Popeye cartoons until 1957. (Represented here as "Season Two")''''The Fleischer and Famous / Paramount Popeye films are still seen as the true classic Popeye cartoons, despite the many incarnations the sailor has enjoyed over the decades. These films represent a great chunk of American cartoon history.moreless

  • STUPID SPINACH!!!

    7.5
    "Good"
    By timtoiletpaper, Oct 31, 2009 Report Abuse
    This show isn't really funny , just entertaining. Here's a quick summary of the show - a sailor named Popeye gets his energy from spinach (stupid) to beat up his enemy Bluto who tries to take his ugly, long legged girlfriend Olive Oil. I think the Popeye spinach thing was a scam to get kids to eat their spinach(it worked on my grandpa!) He would rather eat an apple than apple pie! Well, since this review has to be 100 words long I'm just going to say random short words. I, is, what, a, weird al, gone, a, next, sheep!moreless

  • One of my favorite cartoons growing up!

    Was watching this from Youtube as this was one of my favorite cartoons growing up. As I really think that I loved this as you never outgrow cartoons like these. They don't make them like they used to anymore. Popeye is the spinach-eating sailor and his friends like Olive Oil and Swea Pea. And enemies like Bluto/Brutus and the Sea Hag. As his adventures were funny. Love it when he was with Swea Pea as Swea Pea was so adorable. They are all my favorites and that again, wished that they can make cartoons like they used to. Sadly they don't.moreless

    Popeye is the best cartoon in the world. The humor was so orginial and it's unique action back then. Today show creators are to sissy to let cartoons brawl once in a while. A cartoon that was the master of shows and even is famous today. This show is enjoyed by children and parents everywhere.

    This show is about a sailor named "Popeye" and his trusty girlfriend named "Olive oil" olive for short and Popeye's enemy "Bluto". This is a very great show to bad it is not airing anymore . The funny part is that bluto keeps attacking Popeye and olive is their to cheer Popeye on.

    Looney tunes may be better, but the antics of this show makes one heck of a substitute. Who doesn't enjoy watching these? These were on my saturday morning cartoon list (although Im only 16... I just taped them or bought em) and they should be on everybody's. popeye and Bludo fight about everything, and anything else caught in their constant feuds sure adds to the butt-loads of comedy and action. What fun!

    This is a must-watch for any hardcore cartoon fan. The classics are the best, i always say, and that's right when it comes to this.

    This has been a Crunch87 review. >-_-moreless
