Popeye: Original Box
built 636 days ago
On DVD, Popeye retains its original 2.35:1 theatrical aspect ratio, and that is essential. Enhanced for 16x9 televisions, the transfer boasts an element that is very clean. Adding to Paramount's impressive list of visually sound DVDs, Popeye doesn't noticeably err in the picture department. Italian cinematographer Giuseppe Rotunno's photography looks good and nearly new.

The black-and-white Popeye shorts were shipped to South Korea in 1985, where artists retraced them into color. The process made the shorts more marketable in the modern television era, but prevented the viewers from seeing the original Fleischer pen-and-ink work, and slowed down the pace of the drawings, as well as the three-dimensional backgrounds created by Fleischer's "Stereoptical" process. These colorized shorts began airing on Superstation WTBS in 1986 during their Tom & Jerry and Friends 90-minute weekday morning and hour long weekday afternoon shows. The retraced shorts were syndicated in 1987 on a barter basis, and remained available until the early 1990s. Turner merged with Time Warner in 1996, and Warner Bros. (through its Turner subsidiary) therefore currently controls the rights to the Popeye shorts.
