Ahoy! Great Product for All Popeye Lovers!, Mar 29 2005
By Classic Animation Fan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Popeye Fists of Fury - DVD (DVD)
Popeye "Fists Of Fury"I have noticed some mixed reviews about this product with most of the negative ones being ghost written by our competition so i wanted to tell everyone the real truth about this product since we are the people who produced it. I am using my wifes Amazon account to post this.
We have taken some of the greatest classic cartoons ever produced, from some of the greatest animators in history, and meticulously added hundreds of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars of detailed restoration to both the sound and images in order to make them look as good as they did the day they were first released. Each cartoon is digitally processed first through photo shop frame by frame, and then using both the Davinci and the new Pogo systems to remove every scratch, line, dropout and artifact possible. We then we do a full color restoration at Technicolor using the original color palates to match the colors, tones and shades. We then digitally clean up the sound track to remove all the hiss and scratches and carefully add new foley sound effects, ambience and digitally remix them back onto the cartoons.
The result is our animated DVD series which is currently distributed in both the United States and Canada by Goodtimes Entertainment. These fully restored, full motion, color animations have not been seen in this condition since their original theatrical release. Sit back and be amazed and enjoy some of the finest and funniest animation ever made.
thats why were to only studio doing these that have the blessing and participation of Fleischer Studios and the only one to receive the prestigious Gold Medal from the Classic Animation Preservation Society.
I highly recomend this product to any lovers of classic animation.

By Annie Van Auken - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Popeye Fists of Fury - DVD (DVD)
All eight of the Popeye shorts on this GOOD TIMES VIDEO DVD were produced by Paramount's FAMOUS STUDIOS cartoon division. Animator and storyman Jack Mercer provided the sailor's voice. Orchestrations were by Winston Sharples (formerly of Van Beuren Studiios).POPEYE THE SAILOR: WHEN POPEYE RULED THE SEVEN SEAS (also from GTV) features cartoons made by Popeye's animation originators-- FLEISCHER STUDIOS. Included here are several cartoon two-reelers, one of which was the first ever in-color Popeye short.

Public Domain Popeye, July 5 2011
By Scott T. Rivers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Popeye Fists of Fury - Vhs (VHS Tape)
Widely available in the public domain, this 1954-57 collection shows the spinach-packing sailor at his most formulaic. The latter-day Popeye cartoons produced by Famous Studios lack the spontaneity and freewheeling humor of the Max Fleischer shorts. "Popeye's 20th Anniversary" emerges as a typical Famous cheater while "Floor Flusher" and "Spooky Swabs" (the final theatrical release) are passable at best. However, the Soaky toy commercial is a nice touch.
