Nearly 75 years after his Silver Screen debut, everyone's favorite
sailor makes it to DVD this week in Popeye The Sailor 1933-1938 Volume
1. These classic Popeye animated shorts made Popeye, Olive Oyl and
Bluto national pop icons and have been demanded by fans for
generations.
Popeye The Sailor was introduced to the American audience in 1933
and became one of the most endearing and successful characters in
animation history, mainly because of his unique vernacular and
hilarious catch phrases. His adventures were strange, humorous and
often supernatural as he traveled all over the world to resolve
conflicts with enemies. Much like the other animation icons of the
1930s, the Popeye plots invoked traditional values, possessed
uncompromising moral standards and resorted to force only when
threatened.
