Description

Famous Studios Popeye the Sailor cartoon. Arguably one of the best Popeye shorts ever made. At this time, Paramount/Famous Studios still held onto the Superman lisence but had stopped making Superman cartoons due to their high production costs. They put it to good use here in a semi-crossover between two of the world’s most renown “super” men. Olive Oyl is in love with the man of steel, and an eavesdropping Bluto shows up dressed as Superman to impress Olive. What follows is a series of challenges where Popeye sets out to prove he is a better man than “Stupidman”. The Paramount titles on this cartoon are the original ones (one of the few Technicolor Popeye’s widely available with original titles), and this cartoon was sourced for the Paramount titles on the color Famous shorts featured on most Season 4 episodes of “The Popeye Show”.

    @Hperman09: Famous Studio (formerly the Fleischer Studio) already had an agreement with the creators of the Superman character to produce a series of Superman cartoons. I’m not sure, but when “She Sick Sailors”? was released I believe that the Superman series had been discontinued.
