Or maybe they realized by making this a two-disc set instead of a three disc, which would have covered all the Fleischer toons, they can get the people who only want the Fleischer's to cough up more money with the third set. Which will have the last Fleischer's and the beginning of the Famous Studios toons, thus linking the series.htdm wrote:Looks like Warners got cold feet over the WWII cartoons.
I hope they'll show up eventually.
And check out the artwork!The Popeye the Sailor - Volume 3: 1941-1943 2-disc set will contain 32 shorts. These are completely remastered, and unedited, and will consist of many of the wartime shorts (an exact list of the included titles is not yet available). No word yet on extras, if any. Cost is $34.98 SRP.
Can't wait. Anytime WW2 cartoons are released uncensored, it's a time for celebration.
Of the 34 shorts, only 32 will make it on this set with You're a Sap, Mr. Jap and Scrap the Japs expected to be withheld due to political correctness.
So they are releasing two per year, leaving three more sets with a little more shorts either on the third set or evenly divided on the next sets. Obviously, they will release the television series seperate. The way I see it, by 2010, we should see the all the theatrical shorts released.Popeye the Sailor: 1941-1943, Volume 3 is the third of a series of theatrical Popeye cartoons distributed to theaters by Paramount Pictures to be released on a DVD set by Warner Home Video. This two-DVD set is scheduled to be released on September 30, 2008.[1]
This collection will have 32 cartoons and covers the transition from Fleischer Studios to Famous Studios producing the cartoons with 18 Fleischer cartoons and 14 Famous cartoons. It is likely that all of the cartoons included will be black-and-white, meaning every cartoon produced from 1941 through 1943 will be included with the exception of the last two from 1943 which were color.

If the cartoons on the set are as good (even if less controversial), I'm getting it. Any link for Scrap the Japs?Cash Flagg wrote:Watch You're a Sap on YouTube.
Will contain all the rest of the black and white Popeye cartoons including all the wartime cartoons uncut, uncensored.
I can't believe that Jerry Beck is still encouraging the purchase of this DVD. Usually, he's the first one to rant about removing those two cartoons!Ashirg wrote:I got my info from Classic Flix, but Jerry Beck confirms what Cinephrenic said -Will contain all the rest of the black and white Popeye cartoons including all the wartime cartoons uncut, uncensored.
Jerry is saying that the cartoons are present on the set. He has always been an advocate of uncut, uncensored collections. He was a consultant on all the Popeye sets, so I'm taking his word for it.The Elegant Dandy Fop wrote:I can't believe that Jerry Beck is still encouraging the purchase of this DVD.
