Popeye the Sailor -- Famous Studios
This is a list of the 122 cartoons starting from No 110 starring Popeye the Sailor and produced by Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios (later known as Paramount Cartoon Studios) from 1942 to 1957. These cartoons were produced after Paramount took ownership of Fleischer Studios, which originated the Popeye cartoon series in 1933.
All cartoons are one-reel in length (6 to 10 minutes). The first 14 shorts (You're a Sap, Mr. Jap through Cartoons Ain't Human) are in black-and-white. All remaining cartoons, beginning with Her Honor the Mare, are in colour. Unlike the Fleischer Studios entries, the director credits for these shorts represent the actual director in charge of that short's production. The first animator credited handled the animation direction. The numbers listed next to each cartoon continue the numbering of the Fleischer entries.
The black-and white Popeye cartoons were sold to television distributor Associated Artists Productions (A.A.P.) in 1956, and the colour cartoons were sold to A.A.P. the following year. The original opening and closing Paramount titles were cut for TV syndication. By the early 2000s, the Popeye shorts were owned by Turner Entertainment, whose Cartoon Network broadcast restored versions of many of the shorts as part of an anthology series called The Popeye Show. These shorts are noted below.
Popeye the Sailor -- Safari So Good # 150 November 7, 1947
Popeye and Olive are on a safari, he with a gun and she with a movie camera. She wanders off to stalk a chimp, and happens across Bluto as a muscle-bound Tarzan-like character. She's smitten, as is he, so he shows off a bit. Popeye finally catches on, and they start the usual round of fighting and one-upmanship. Bluto summons a wide array of animals, and, while Popeye's occupied, hauls Olive high into a tree house. With some help from the chimp, Popeye has his spinach and turns most of the animals into fur coats (on a rack that the chimp pushes through the melee), then rescues Olive by hauling on the tree's roots until she's at ground level.
Bluto has one spoken line in this episode.
