The day has arrived that excellent prints of these excellent cartoons are very tough-to-find, but here is one, and it's LIKE-NEW!

When Sindbad the Sailor kidnaps Olive Oyl, Popeye sets off to rescue her...

"I'm Sindbad the Sailor, so hearthy and hale / I live on an island on the back of a whale / It's a whale of an island - that's not a bad joke / Its lord and its master is this handsome bloke."

ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE

Here I am offering a LIKE-NEW CONDITION 16mm low-fade AGFA COLOR print of the 1936 PARAMOUNT PICTURES animated two-reel theatrical prodution of

POPEYE THE SAILOR MEETS SINDBAD THE SAILOR

featuring POPEYE the Sailor, Olive Oyl, J. Wellington Wimpy and Blutto.

DIRECTED BY DAVE FLEISCHER.

Originally released on November 27, 1936.

"Who's gonna make who like chicken fricassicassissy?"

Sindbad the Sailor (Bluto) proclaims himself the greatest sailor in the world, a claim which is challenged by Popeye's arrival on his island with Olive Oyl and J. Wellington Wimpy in tow.

Mounted on one 800-foot plastic reel, this is a LIKE-NEW CONDITION 16mm low-fade AGFA COLOR print. There is NOT A SINGLE SPLICE in the entire print. Original head and tail leaders intact. Nice image and great soundtrack. Running time: A whopping 16 minutes 17 seconds.

Many of the backgrounds for this and other early Popeye cartoons were 3D. The backgrounds were built on a large circular stage that was rotated in front of the camera. The characters were then superimposed over this three-dimensional background.

"Who's the most remarkable, extraordinary fellow? Who?"
"Popeye the Sailor!"

The first Popeye cartoon made in color.
