★★★ · An 1950s Paramount cartoon reusing a 1930s one · megara · 2007-04-14
This was one of a few Paramount cartoons to use footage from older shorts. For example, in Popeye's 20th Anniversary they re-used moments from Rodeo Romeo and Top of the Tops (and the title cards of these films are displayed as well). Assault and Flattery used moments of defferent cartoons, which Popeye and Bluto used as proofs before judge Wimpy. This cartoon uses footage from 1936's Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor, the very first Popeye cartoon in color (alhough it was a longer 20 minute special film). But the things Popeye's nephews do in the museum are a good addition to the old…
★★★ · This is a remake. · George L. Gall, Sr · 2005-08-28
This cartoon is NOT the Popeye cartoon "Sinbad the Sailor" !!! The orginal does not have the kids.
★★ · Credit Where Credit Is Due · Athanatos · 2008-01-02
Most of the footage of this cartoon is takend from "Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor" (1936), directed by Willard Bowsky (albeit that "Director: credit went to Dave Fleischer), with the other principal animators being George Germanetti and Edward Nolan. It's really grotesque to see the credit going to Kneitel, Henning, and Johnson. Kneitel had been one of the early Popeye animators, and was certainly capable of high quality work, as probably were the other two; but the new work here is just the the usual slop that Famous Studios was producing from the late '40s onward.
