Fair warning to fans of the classic Fleisher/Famous Studios Popeye cartoons-Look elsewhere! These Popeye shorts were from "The All-New Popeye Hour" by Hanna-Barbera, and don't have the same punch of the older series (Pun intended). This DVD is not recommended for Popeye purists.

I bought this thinking of the old great cartoons of my childhood, but alas these are later ones.

I suggest the "70 Years of Popeye" for the real deal!

This is a batch of Popeye TV-cartoons from Hanna Barbera's "All New Popeye Hour". They could no longer feature Popeye and Bluto slugging it out. Despite that, the animation is fine and the scripts are entertaining. It's true, they're not the ol' Popeye that most people remember (and want to see on home video) but they are entertaining.

These cartoons are typical of late-1970s Hanna-Barbera TV output: cheap, poorly-animated, and horribly hampered by ridiculous network standards and practices. They stink.

THIS DVD CONTAINS POPEYE CARTOONS FROM THE LATE 70'S/EARLY EIGHTIES HANNA BARBERA POPEYE CARTOON SERIES!
SURE, IT'S NOT THE ORIGINAL POPEYE OF THE 1930'S, BUT POPEYE HAD BEEN RELEASED IN A NUMBER OF FORMATS OVER THE YEARS!
THESE CARTOONS ARE ACTUALLY THE ONES I GREW UP WATCHING ON TELEVISION!
THEY REALLY ARE QUITE ENTERTAINING!!

I grew up in the 80's. This was the Popeye that I first met and loved. These aren't "bad" at all. They're a bit different than the older stuff, yes. I enjoy both now, but it took me a while to get used to the older ones, since this is what I grew up with.

For you twenty- and thirty-somethings out there that grew up watching this show, this is great. It's just as I remember. I still enjoy watching this today.

Totally useless. The worst Popeye cartoons ever made. They are Hanna-Barbara, but now where near the quality of their better stuff. Actually not as good as their worst stuff.
