Popeye
Popeye the sailor man, is a middle aged sailor who first appeared in E.C. Segar's comic strip "Thimble Theater" in 1929. The Fleischer brothers who were animators at Paramount brought Popeye to the silver screen in 1933. Popeye's popularity soared in the mid-'30s becoming even more popular than Mickey Mouse. Popeye went through many tranisitions over the years, in the early 1940's the Fleischers were fired and the studio was renamed "Famous Studios" in 1942. By 1943, the short cartoons began being filmed in Technicolor, Polacolor and Cinecolor, with the quality of animation decreasing over the years due to budget constraints. 1957 was the end of the 24 year theatrical run for Popeye. Popeye cartoons were sold to Television synidcates and his popularity boomed once again. In the early 1960's over 200 more Popeye were made in, however animation was very poor due to even lower budgets. In 1978 Popeye got another new show called "The All New Popeye Hour" made by Hanna Barbera and another short lived series in 1987 called "Popeye and Son". The most recent Popeye cartoon was a CGI feature called "Me Quest For Pappy" in 2004. Popeye is still a well known cartoon character and has been used in recent youtube poops.
