Popeye...

Wasn't there an announcement a while ago that we would get a complete set of Popeye toons restored on DVD? Or am I mis remembering with the Three Stooges announcement?

All of the Popeye releases I have seen so far have been met with bad reviews... and after having seen some old clips on the Fleischer Superman Documentary(Ultimate Superman Box Set), I forgot how much I want to see these again....

Popeye was always a favorite growing up, and I just wish they could recapture the magic with a new series of shorts..animated in the same way and as close to matching voices as possible..

Re: Popeye...

Warner Bros. reached an agreement with King Features, owners of Popeye to release all the Popeye cartoons including the ones Warner doesn't own. Warners is going to start releasing them in 2007. Titles will all be restored .

It has been discussed here:

Re: Popeye...

The 75th set was the made-for-TV cartoons.

The upcoming release is of the much older theatrical shorts.
