Eat Your Spinach – Popeye’s comin’ back!

June 8, 2006 · Filed Under Classic Animation 

Ah, spinach, it was the Viagra of the 1930s. Fleischer and Famous Studios took Popeye from comic strip to theatrical cartoon. Various legal battles have kept vintage Popeye cartoons in the can, so to speak, but the parties involved have reached an agreement and Popeye will be available on DVD in 2007.

Here’s the old sea salt getting ready to down a can of spinach.

And, here’s Popeye after the spinach has worked its magic.
