Title: Popeye & Warner Bros hits it out of the park
Review: What a sensational set. If you have even the tiniest inkling you may like this, grab it now. I liked Popeye as a kid but was truly surprised by the quality of the animation and the restorations: many of these cartoons are not only still amusing but quite beautiful, and the 2 technicolour shorts are a pop-eyed joy. There are a number of extras included on each of the 4 discs, the most interesting being a plethora of silent Fleischer cartoons and a couple of extended documentaries on the history of silent animation and Popeye himself; the "Popumentaries" are very brief and an amusing addition. Although I haven't heard all the commentaries, they seem to vary greatly in quality (John Kricfalusi and cronies: PLEASE prepare something interesting to say in future!)All in all, a truly fabulous set and well worth owning.
