Via Cartoon brew, vol. 3 will be out 30 September 2008. With the remaining black and white Fleisher toons, including you’re a Sap, Mr. Jap and Scrap the Japs, while classicflix states that they will probably be withheld for political correctness.
Hopefully that will not be the case, these sets have been done so well that I hope that the true showing of the art comes thru, and also gives me hope that one day WB will do right By Tom and Jerry’s theatrical run of Toons in the same manner

Re: Popeye, Vol 3 30 SEP 2008
Ironically the second set of the Popeye and friends is supposedly streeting on the same day

Re: Popeye, Vol 3 30 SEP 2008
Maybe they'll be "from the vault" like on the Walt Disney Treasures discs? WB should at least offer a mail-in DVD that has the two omitted cartoons (and perhaps joined with other un-PC shorts).

Re: Popeye, Vol 3 30 SEP 2008
From the discussion we've been having in the TV forum, 32 B&W cartoons were made between 1941-1943. So if no color Popeyes are included, then this set should have all the "potentially offensive" cartoons.

Re: Popeye, Vol 3 30 SEP 2008
It looks as if they will not be included since there were 34 cartoons produced during that period of time (1941-1943) and they announced there are 32 cartoons in the collection.
Since WB has not listed the contents of the volume, hopefully they will be placed on there as a "from the vault" or the information is wrong, either mine or theirs.
If this is as good as the other two volumes, I will certainly pick it up but will let my disappointment known that it did not contain the two cartoon. While not PC, they are a piece of history that we should not ignore. The cartoons tell exactly what the country was thinking at the time and those thoughts brought us to this time, either good or bad.

I thought that originally, but it was pointed out that the last two cartoons made in 1943 were the first two color Popeye cartoons by Famous Studios, so the final B&W cartoon would be a logical point for the set to end.
And IIRC, the original plan was for the remaining B&W cartoons to be released in a four-disc set. Instead, we're getting two two-disc sets.

I hope you are right. I still relish my Loony Tunes laserdisc collection that has Bugs Nips the Nips. Not at all PC, but very funny.

Re: Popeye, Vol 3 30 SEP 2008
i would like to know what is going on with Looney Tunes myself, by the way over at GAC forum WB has some kind of survey going on as to what you would like to see released as a set next, the beauty of it is there is a place at the bottom of the survey to basically sound off, i know that some other on here have the same feeling i have, towards the MGM toons, for every thing WB has done right, they have put the MGM toons on the back burner, the tom and jerrys were treated abysmally, droop got a release, not perfect but workable, while the rest sit in a vault somewhere, i just ask that hopefully, they can treat the MGM toons in the same fashion as some of us have discussed.
I am looking forward to this Popeye set, and hope by spring we will be hearing about vol 4?, now if Paramount would get off of its butt and do something with Puppettoons and Betty Boop!

Re: Popeye, Vol 3 30 SEP 2008
nice to see this one coming out! The last Loony Tunes set had all sorts of UN-PC material on it, including clips from "coal Black", I'm not surprised this ones coming out uncensored.

Re: Popeye, Vol 3 30 SEP 2008
I would like to hear some word on Popeye also. I was just thinking about the series last week.
Thanks.
