Popeye starting to gel
15 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
By 1936, Popeye's voice over was done by Jack Mercer, with those under your breath wise cracks (Bluto too) adding to the flavor. They get pretty creative here with site gags that include Popeye as an octopus,submarine and several high dives that would put Greg Luganis to shame!There was a sweet spot for Popeye cartoons IMO and this was it.The Fleischers were pure genius and is shows here through their high quality efforts and imagination. Long before CGI, story tellers could visualize the live action impossible through animation. We've seen a resurgence of appreciation for classic animation with good reason as the classic Popeye series shows.
