The Fleischer brothers' studio began producing the animated adventures of Popeye the Sailor in 1933 (released theatrically through Paramount Pictures), becoming one of the most popular film short subject series of all time. Famous Studios produced the cartoons (with a resulting dramatic drop in quality) from 1942 until the theatrical series ended in 1957.

Sadly, the documentary omitted crucial parts of Popeye's youth for reasons that are not quite clear to this date. Some sources have it that the producers of said series thought later developments irrelevant; others maintain the viewpoint that Popeye himself was ashamed and unhappy with the events that occurred during and immediately after his puberty. Popeye's cartoons which were popular in THIER day, have recently been studied by a crack group of researchers. It was an amazing find that this entertainment giant is a quite blatant Racist in that he refers to all middle eastern people as Ali-Baba, A Horrible parent who often lets his son become lost and intangled with wild animals in the zoo, and a sociopath who among other things, uses violence to solve all his problems. Such as when he loses his son in the zoo, instead of getting the baby, he gets drunk, then blames the missing child on the "cunning animals", and proceeds to beat up all of the animals in the zoo.

Hanna-Barbera produced the adventures of Popeye for TV in the 1970s. When Hanna-Barbera worked on what would be the last regularly seen Popeye cartoon series (so far) Popeye & Son in the mid-eighties, the actor who provided the voice for The Brain on Pinky & The Brain (Maurice LaMarche) voiced Popeye.
