5.0 out of 5 stars This set is a Popeye Lover's dream, come true..., July 18, 2008

By	Jonathan (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have to agree with the other reviews already posted on this product.
This DVD set is a dream, come true for any fan of Popeye the Sailor or vintage animation for that matter.

Watching these early cartoons is always so nostalgic. It takes you back to when times were simple and the "Moral of the Story" was simple and to the point.

Fleischer Studios did a great job with taking everyday ideas, commonalities & life lessons and incorporating them into their wonderful vintage animation. Not just with Popeye the Sailor but with all their cartoons (Betty Boop, Superman, etc...)

If you want a great sampling of where Popeye the Sailor has come from and where he ended up, this is the DVD set for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars This DVD Set is STRONG TO THE FINISH!!!, July 18, 2008

By	Mark "Educator" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This 2 DVD Set delivers Popeye the Sailor from his start in 1930 through his glory days of the 50's and into 1960. Triad Productions has choosen a simply fantastic cross section.

From Never Kick A Women(1936) where Popeye teaches Olive the art of self-defense, which comes in handy when a woman boxer flirts with him to Popeye for President(1956) where Popeye and Bluto are running for president; it's election day, the vote is tied, and Olive is the only remaining voter. You can really see a direct correlation between the current events of the time and what the Fleisher's get Popeye involved in.

These Bonuses are fantastic: Let's Sing with Popeye (1934) An early Popeye cartoon where we meet him on deck singing his song. Then we are invited to sing the Popeye song along with lyrics and a ball bouncing from word to word. This clip dates from 1934 and was done by Fleischer Studios. 2 of the 3 Popeye Color Specials. Popeye Meets Ali Baba's 40 Thieves & Popeye meets Sinbad the Sailor.

I give this set a geniune 2 THUMBS UP!!! If you want a great cross section of Popeye in Remastered form that look great on your HDTV then this is the collection for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Are you guys kidding me ?????, April 16, 2009

By	A. E. "wiespinosas" (NY United States) - See all my reviews

(...). The BW cartoons look really bad with flickering, image bouncing up and down and compression artifacts. The color ones are no better than other cheap DVD's I've seen. Like this is not enough, the second disk is skipping in 3 different players.

The icing on the cake is that this "enhanced" version is BURNED on regular DVD-R's, not stamped as one would expect a commercial DVD to be.

What a dissapointment ....
