5.0 out of 5 stars Who's the most phenominal, extra special kinda fellow?, July 7 2004

This review is from: Popeye the Sailor: 7 Seas - Dv (DVD)

I loved these when I was a kid - they were on every afternoon during the local kid's show from Ottawa - and seeing them again now, I can understand why I did! Do they stand the test of time - my three year old is asking for and eating spinach - and singing both Sindbad's song along with Abu Hassan's! (who I think Saddam Hussein based his schitck on - or maybe it was Donald Rumsfeld who used Popeye meets Ali Baba when he planned the invasion using special forces, i.e., Popeye in the run up to the Iraq War. I digress, but it does have comedic possibilities!)

Yes the sound and transfer are spotty, but I'm sure they were on TV in 1962 too! Buy it and enjoy!

2.0 out of 5 stars almost unwatchable, Feb 12 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Popeye the Sailor: 7 Seas - Dv (DVD)

The coloring is sub-par as is the sound. The addition of updated sound effects are horrible they are louder than the cartoon itself with added effects that shouldnt even be there. You can occasionally hear the original effects intermixed with the ones that were added. Popeye is worthy of a ... package with original content enough of these bargain basement throw aways

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Cartoons, Feb 5 2003

By

"sloan123" (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Popeye the Sailor: 7 Seas - Dv (DVD)

Some of the best Popeye cartoons have been gathered here ("Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp," "Popeye Meets Sindbad," "Popeye Meets Ali Baba," "Li'l Sweet Pea," and "Customer's Wanted.) All of the cartoons have been on higher priced Cartoon Crazys editions. They all look the same (mixed bag) and have the same overblown stereo sound.
The extra included here is a good, old newsreel about the making of Popeye cartoons. While it does not contain the extensive production notes and reading lists of the Cartoon Crazies volumes, some may still find the newsreel preferable.
And at this price, you can't go wrong.

Yea - the quality could be a lot better. But this is Popeye's best stuff. Especially the two-reelers. Read more
