Celebrate 70 years of the beloved, spinach-chomping sailor-man with this collection of animated shorts. Most of these cartoons come from the 1950s Paramount era: Popeye for President (Seymour Kneitel, 1956); Assault and Flattery (Izzy Sparber, 1956); Gopher Spinach (Kneitel, 1954); Fright to the Finish (Kneitel, 1954); Parlez Vous Woo (Sparber, 1956); Bride and Gloom (Sparber, 1954); Shuteye Popeye (Sparber, 1952); Insect to Injury (David Tendlar, 1956); Taxi Turvy (Kneitel, 1954) and A Haul in One (Kneitel, 1956). The set is rounded off by two vintage Fleischer-era films: the certifiable classic Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (Dave Fleischer, 1937) and Customers Wanted (Dave Fleischer, 1939). 100 mins.
