Customer Reviews of Popeye (75th Anniversary Collector's Edition)

"This DVD was titled: Popeye, 75th Anniversary Celebration Collector's Edition. Most reasonable people, without any additional information, would assume that this was a retrospective of Popeye cartoons from the beginning."

Strange... now that the VCI collection (Popeye:75th Anniversary
Popeye the Sailor Man) is out, you can say the same darn thing about that release! It's incredibly misleading because many people might expect it the be a "retrospective of Popeye cartoons from the beginning"... including the King Features of the early sixties, right? RIGHT??

But no, since the new VCI 75th Anniversary collection features a batch of Fleischer cartoons none of the cartoon geeks will bother to snub that collection for the same reason.

I say again to interested parties... buy this collection (and the VCI collection too) and have a great time watching them with your kids, and don't pay a bit of attention to the naysayers.

They have forgotten what it is like to be 5 years old and be captivated by cartoons whether the animation is top shelf or second rate. Second rate animation can be thoroughly enjoyed by kids... it's not until you reach adulthood that you might give a hoot about the difference. And even if you do give a hoot, it is just plain silly to suggest that kids would not have a great time watching these cartoons because of the lesser quality animation.

Again, they're cartoons! They're for kids! So get a life naysayers!

I love these cartoons and my kids do too.
"DO NOT BUY this KFS trash !!! These cartoons will kill your children's brain cells !!! KFS, the corporation trying, with all its powers, to prevent the release of the original theatrical Fleischer & Famous Studios "Popeye" cartoons (now owned by Warner Bros), will want you to think that this is a great "Popeye" collection. In reality, these cartoons are pure garbage !!!"

Wow. How could you get so mad over the release of some cartoons? especially now that you know what you want is coming?

"Buying this Koch set for your children is tantamount to animated abuse."

Oh my god, you people are hopeless. And I take great offense at that statement. I love my kids dearly and I gave them quality, imaginative entertainment by giving them this set. Sure, the older Popeyes were great but so were these. I remember seeing the B&W ones and these together when I was young and loving them both. My husband and I grew up loving these and now my kids love them too.

The reviewer from NY was right. Get a life!

Not the Real Popeye
This is not the classic Popeye, but rather a collection of poorly-written, poorly-animated television cartoons from the 1960s. This does nothing but disgrace Popeye's 75th birthday.

Of more interest is the "Popeye: 75th Anniversary" Collector's Edition 2-disc set that contains 34 theatrical cartoons from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Although it is indeed a public domain collection, it may be the only public domain collection that does Popeye any justice: the cartoons have their titles restored, they are presented uncut and in their original color form, and there are no added sound effects.
