I liked making the Popeye video comparing the Ali Baba cartoon on old VHS to the new DVD, so I’ll do it again. This one is Sindbad [sic] The Sailor. Assuming there’s a second DVD collection, it will have the third color cartoon, with Popeye as Aladdin.

Yeah, we’re so accustomed to perceiving the Fleischer cartoons as being urban and gritty and beat up, that it’s a bit of a shock seeing them so clean and clear.
Yow! It’s almost TOO clean! Wow, what a difference. Like cleaning a masterpiece painting and finding long unseen details underneath. But, in a strange way, the darker version has its own charm – very urban and grimy.
