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 is Robin Hood and has a sidekick- Little John. Together they rob from the wicked and give to the good. Enter Bluto as the evil Tax Collector. He's about to impose a tax on the owner of the local pub, Olive, but he falls in love instead. But Olive is Robin Hood's "goil." The Tax Collector and Robin "duke" it out in an archery contest.

The reviewed print had a smoothly matched A.A.P. title music track.
