CLASSIC IMAGES NO. 379 (cover-dated January 2007) has a short but interesting article on the King Features Syndicate Popeye cartoons written by Frank Grandinetti. He includes a rundown on each of the studios that did the cartoons with pointers on how to distinguish which one did which cartoons. He concludes that many of the KFS Popeyes actually had good stories, one-liners and visual puns, but were done in by the mostly terrible animation.
The article also includes a nice reproduction of a 1961 trade-journal ad for the cartoons which I hadn't seen before. If you have trouble finding CLASSIC IMAGES at your local newsstand or bookstore, try http://www.classicimages.com to see if single copies can be ordered. The issue also includes good capsule reviews of the latest Disney Treasures and Disney Legacies DVD releases. |
