Popeye the Sailor: 1938-1940 - Volume Two (2008, DVD)

If you are like me and grew up on TV reruns of the old B&W Popeye cartoons, this two-disc DVD will bring back many fond memories. Unlike many other previous Popeye compilations, these films are in pristine condition. And while the previous set (1933-1938) covered more ground, this latest volume has the Fleisher Studio animators in tip-top form. Spanning over 30 of their best Popeye theatrical shorts, you'll see the first cartoon appearances of the Jeep, Poopdeck Pappy, and the Goons from Goon Island. Also included are numerous commentaries, the third Fleischer-produced color Popeye cartoon, and short documentaries on the Fleischer Studio and Mae Questel, the voice of Olive Oyl and Betty Boop. This a DVD collection no Popeye fan should be without.
