This is an in-progress episode guide for the Fleischer/Paramount Popeye cartoons, ranging from 1933 to 1957. There are 230 episodes accounted for here. As I get info on each episode I will post it here, and once it is complete well, I'll say so. ;^) Please do not copy any of the synopses and/or comments here without permission, as they are mine and original.

Yes, I know that these are "theatrical films" and not "episodes" but, it is easier to refer to them as episodes, which is why I have done so. If you are a Popeye purist, please avert your eyes. ;^)

And, those links to the Internet Movie Database are there for a reason. If you have seen the film in question, please go to the IMDb and vote for it! Thanks. ;) (If any of the links don't work please tell me.) While you're at the IMDb and you've seen the film in question, why not leave a review? I don't have to be the only one having that kind of fun. ;^)

Studio: Max Fleischer
Popeye wages war against Pierre Bluto the lumberjack because the latter didn't like Olive's spinach.
Comments: I have one thing to say about this one: Popeye's statement that "Anyone who doesn't like spinach is my emeny" must have scared a lot of little kids into eating their vegetables. Heck, I wouldn't want to be Popeye's emeny!

Released: Jan 25, 1935
Studio: Max Fleischer
Olive is in love with a new sailor in town, Barnacle Bill. Will Popeye stand for it?
Comments: Firstly, you should know that this is not the Barnacle Bill from the comic strip, but is merely Bluto under a different name. Also, most of the film is done like some sort of operatic ballad--very unusual. The end is great. Popeye has a backbone after all!

Comments: As usual, Wimpy is the world's worst customer--but as usual, nobody seems to care. This film is mostly a front to show clips from earlier films. The end is worth it, however.

A gopher invades Popeye's spinach bed.
Comments: You know, it's kinda creepy when you realize Popeye's pampering these spinach plants like human babies just so he can eat them. Anyways, here is another 'small animal gets the better of Popeye' story. It shocked me to see a mad-enough-to-kill Popeye chasing the cute little gopher with a loaded rifle.

Popeye is invited over to Olive's house for a hamburger dinner, but Wimpy gets there first - dressed like the sailor! How long can this masquerade go on?
Comments: Amazing what a corset and a Hallowe'en mask can do, isn't it? My absolute favorite Popeye film ever, the one that made me a true fan of the early cartoons. Wimpy's a clever cuss. I would walk around for days squeaking "I'm Popeye!" after seeing this film as a kid. And my brother (bless 'im) would reply, "You ought to be ashamed of yourself for looking like Popeye!"
