Additional facts: The All New Popeye Hour marks as final Popeye project where Jack Mercer, aka the 2nd original voice of Popeye since Fleischer era did the Popeye voice for the last time until his death in 1984.
yeah, i know. Jack Mercer will always be the iconic voice to Popeye to me. Popeye is such a great character. It was an honor covering him. I thank you so much for watching and subscribing. i appreciate it so much
Thanks for creating this interesting documentary Cartoon Curator. I love Popeye, E.C. Segar, and the Fleischer brothers. It’s wonderful to learn so much background information on one of America’s favorite icons.
Glad you enjoyed it! So happy. Definitely delve into the channel a lot more. And I am further working on bringing histories of more studios to the fold as we speak. Working on two that are in tandem. Can't wait for you and all my subscribers to see it. please stay tuned to it
As a kid growing up in the early-mid 1970's, I used to watch Popeye on TV. I soon came to know that if the Popeye cartoon was in black and white, it was going to be great. If it was a Famous Studios cartoon, it was going to be pretty good, and if it was King then it was not going to be good.
my experience was very similar to yours. and the same assessment when it came to the Technicolor Famous Studios/1960 series. The Flesicher shorts are among the best in that entire era. Incredible animators worked there...including one i am covering in the new episode i am putting up. thank you so much fro watching. i appreciate it so much
I also was a huge fan of Popeye. I grew up near New York city and watched Woody Woodpecker and Popeye on channel 5 every afternoon. I first say the King Features version and never knew of the Fleisher shorts until I was older. I would watch the cartoons with my grandmother and was confused when she called Brutus Bluto lol. Later i discovered the Fleisher shorts and those are obviously the best but i still have a soft spot in my heart for the cheap 1960s shorts for how bizarre some of the animation and dialog is. The music from the Jack Kinney ones is forever recorded in my mind.
it does. The Flesichers were quite the innovators in the animation space. their works is why I completely love animation period. just seeing Popeye and Superman in syndication was a treat as a kid. that's the power of animation. no matter how old it is, it's always going to age well if it mad well. The Flesichers had that formula down pat
I appreciate that! I am working my way up to it. Patience is a virtue. Something I believe in wholeheartedly. I rather build this channel up on quality instead of just doing it for the fast paced. This channel and animation in general is a true passion of mine. I love it the way you and every subscriber does. So happy that you subscribed

Thanks, Cartoon Curator. I appreciate your presentation on the history of Popeye, and so much background on so many of the other characters created by Max and his coworkers who worked at all those various companies. I had always wondered about some of the points you covered. Thanks for explaining so much, especially about the real life Popeye inspiration. Very interesting! (TOOT TOOT)
you're welcome. i appreciate you for watching. I chose to cover Popeye because he was dear to me like he is to you. He's a relic of a era you don't see anymore
yes, i am going to review it. I have it. it's an animatic film. basically consisting of early illustrations to tell the story. can't wait to bring that review out.
you'r e welocme. I appreicate it wholeheartedly. Popeye has to be one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time. and i see he is to you as well. that's the stance on these characters and what i try to tell with the content: to show what they were back then and what they are today to us. because at the end of the day, we really experienced these characters at an impressionable stage in life and that's childhood
@@thecartooncurator Exactly! Popeye is one of my favorite characters and series of shorts. Growing up I would actually watch the Fleschier shorts with an older relative of mine, and then I got the Famous Studios cartoons so I enjoyed the later running for president and Ice Cream antics too.
That was a very good video. Popeye is one of my favorite toon stars. I just subscribed to your channel and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos.
thank you so much. i appreciate this. Popeye was something i wanted to cover for the longest. That entire Golden era of animation had some of the best animators working on cartoons but Popeye always stood out so much to me because his heroism came from wanting to do right....a can of spinach also helped.
thank you so much. this is greatly appreciated by me. definitely dive deep into the other ones as well. i promise to bring my best to all my subscribers, including you. Popeye was a very interesting character. had so much fun, researching everything on the creation of the character.
I like that you are able to bring up the racial stereotypes in the shoe and understand, it was a product of the times. I think that is very important. These things aren't Terrible because of these outdated moments, they are something that was important to many of us....that have very outdated moments in them. A very important distinction in my opinion
i had to do it. it's a part of our history and i always believe that everything should be told, nevertheless if i agree with it or not. at the end of the day, it was art. no matter if we agreed with the message or not. thank you so much for watching the content
The narrator sounds either very sleepy or very old. He left out how Ted Turner commissioned the colorization of the black-and-white Popeyes in the '80s, which, considering how they turned out, is probably just as well. There's also no mention of Popeye's appearances in TV specials, commercials, and CGI animation.
there was a reason for that. i opted to cover Popeye from the initial works from Fleischer Studios and Famous Studios and the Hanna Barbera Popeye cartoons. Also I know of the TV specials but chose not to really cover them in scope. Want to save it for future content to supplement them this episode. The commericals were irrevelant to the content due to not having archival access to the commericals and they are just being commercials. not too relevant. thank you so much for watching. and that's naturally my voice. i never believed in speaking loudly with the delivery.
@@thecartooncurator If I may make some suggestions, it is not the volume of your voice, as you say, but the tone and modulation of your voice that needs work. There is a repetitive four beat up and down tone that does not emphasize important words or points. Pacing is also key to effective line reading with inflection on certain lines. Courses in radio and television announcing or basic acting technique will teach you these things.

NY owes much of it's animation legacy to the Fleischers.
it does.

The King Feature Syndicate Popeye cartoons are my favorite of this cartoon and his cartoons should be shown at Popeyes restaurants
I'll admit that there were many of those KFS Popeyes were adaptations of the original comic strip stories of the 1930s-especially Myskery Melody!!
Excellent video. You deserve much more subs, imo. Thx~!

I’m surprised the video doesn’t mention the Sinbad cartoon, since it was the first color cartoon and the only one to ever be nominated for an Oscar.
I apologize for that little missed detail. I am going to delve more into it in a future episode. it's something I have been planning out lately.
@@thecartooncurator That is not a "little" detail. It is a major milestone.
Popeye is definitely among the greatest cartoon characters in existence. And he served as an inspiration for Superman.

i wish they would bring him back in a great movie
An 87-minute animatic of the cancelled movie is circulating online. It’s quite good, so if you want that great movie to happen, it’ll do for now.
@@theodorecarter6601 cool...87 minutes ..wow
yes, i am going to review it. I have it. it's an animatic film. basically consisting of early illustrations to tell the story. can't wait to bring that review out.
good stuff. woefully underrated channel. subbed. looking forward to seeing similar episodes on other classics like scooby doo, flintstones etc
