By 1941, Fleischer Studio was tottering on the brink of disaster. The failure of their second feature Mr. Bug Goes to Town (which opened three days before the bombing of Pearl Harbor) coupled with a bitter quarrel between Max and Dave Fleischer and a mounting debt to Paramount led to the closure of the Miami Studio. Executives at Parmount fired the Fleischer brothers, installed new management, changed the studio name to Famous, moved operations back to New York City, and cut the artists' pay. Not surprisingly, the quality of the cartoons fell. A number of the shorts in this collection are domestic comedies, with Popeye babysitting the incorrigible Poopdeck Pappy or his four identical and uninteresting nephews. It's an incongruous role for the rough and tumble sailor, and films like "Problem Pappy" and "Me Musical Nephews" recall the joyless cartoons that turned Betty Boop into a hausfrau a few years earlier. Popeye, like Bugs Bunny, is a winner, and he isn't funny as a straight man or a fall guy. These films also lack the original vision that characterized the Fleischers' best work. "Nix on Hypnotricks" feels like an inferior remake of the classic Popeye-Olive-Bluto short "A Dream Walking," while "The Hungry Goat" borrows heavily from Tex Avery's "Tortoise Beats Hare." The war-themed cartoons feature outrageous racial charicatures of the Japanese that make Warner Bros.' "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips" look almost flattering. Unlike the Disney and Warners characters, who made fun of the Nazis, Popeye fought the Japanese almost exclusively. The cartoons in Popeye the Sailor, Vol.3 rank as curiosities that are more interesting to historians of animation and American popular culture than to viewers looking for laughs. (Unrated: suitable for ages 10 and older: violence, alcohol and tobacco use, offensive racial stereotypes) --Charles Solomon

I've read repeatedly how "cruel" the portrayal of the Japanese is in wartime cartoons. As cruel as the Bataan death march? As cruel as Nanking? POW treatment? Do I need to go on?
Besides, where caricatures are concerned Popeye and Bluto have never been ideal caucasian portrayals of American manhood.
Let's face it, in Golden Age cartoons, almost everyone is ugly - with the exception of Superman and Red Hot Riding Hood!
So I was thrilled beyond the ability to express ... Read More

Truly great. As the two earlier volumes. Great extras. In total, worth every dollar spent. This is the real deal (Warner Brothers vol I, II & III), don't mess around with other obscure editions of popeye collections.

Popeye will bring smile on you and your kids face. Don't be uptight about some of the content because it's actually refreshing to see old time cartoons like this. Very entertaining and funny.

Superb picture quality as expected. The cartoons are fascinating as they are a product of their time period. Too many people fear the stereotyping may hurt feelings and perhaps rightly so. However, to ban these from the public is in my opinion an admission that we are not as mature today as we were back then. We certainly are more mature enough to understand that we were at war and cartoons like this was strictly propaganda. What cartoon character did not get into the battle during WWII? Bless the folks ... Read More

Popeye the Sailor Volume 3 finishes up the B&W cartoons. Disc 1 starts off with more Popeye cartoons with his father Poopdeck Pappy. But as we near entering World War II, the format changes; Popeye's in the navy & is wearing navy whites.
After Baby Wants a Bottleship (the last Fleischer made Popeye cartoon), Famous Studios takes over production (or should I say Paramount kicked out the Fleischers & took control of their cartoon studio, eventually moving it back from Miami to New York). Most ... Read More
