Jack Mercer made his final vinyl appearance in four fine Peter Pan original stories and Robin Williams made his feature film debut in Popeye’s year of big, splashy showbiz glitz.POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN BOOK & RECORDINGJack Mercer and CastPeter Pan Book and Record Set BR-523 (12” 33 1/3 RPM LP or Cassette / Stereo / 22 minutes)POPEYE: 4 FUN-FILLED STORIESJack Mercer and CastPeter Pan Records 1113 (12” 33 1/3 RPM LP or Cassette / Stereo / 47 minutes)Released in 1980. Executive Producer: Donald Kasen. Producer: Arthur Korb. Running Time: 47 minutes.Stories: “Popeye in the Movies,” “ Spinach on the Spanish Main,” “Gold Fever” (#1113 only), “Who’s Afraid of a U.F.O.” (#1113 only).The steamrolling impending release of Paramount and Disney’s 20 million dollar big-screen musical version of Popeye gave the sailor man and his pals what amounted to his last multi-media and merchandise blitz. As is the delightful fallout of a remake or reboot, no matter how the new enterprise nets out, fans of the original can look forward to as many iterations of their favorite character to reappear in its original form—if possible—in reissued materials and even some new products in the classic vein.The latter describes these two Peter Pan Records releases totally four stories.
All four were released on a single LP, just two of them were packaged with a comic-style book and LP. These apparently mark the last Jack Mercer performance on children’s records. AA Records (formerly Golden) reissued the excellent 1960 Popeye the Sailorman and His Friends LP on its lower budget Merry label (which we covered ) with Mercer and Mae Questel shortly after the release of the movie Unable to use the copyrighted cartoon images, the cover was illustrated with a generic tugboat (as was the case with the Popeye safety songs EP).Peter Pan released both of their previous Popeye albums (one from the early ‘70s with Mercer, another from the early ‘60s with Harry F.
Welch—subject of ). The 1980 stories, produced by the prolific Arthur Korb, sound very much like Peter Pan’s Power Records super hero and science fiction series (which were being produced at the same time) with the versatile stock company playing multiple roles.

Mercer likely was working with the cast on the East coast, as he was a resident of suburban New York, making occasional visits to Hollywood to work on the Hanna-Barbera Popeye cartoons being produced for CBS.It can’t be an accident that the signature story on both new album releases is “Popeye in the Movies,” since that was indeed what the sailor man was doing in 1980. The record’s story finds Popeye and Olive (another uncredited actor) touring a Hollywood movie studio where four movies are being filmed at once.
Popeye finds the action so realistic, he can’t help saving anyone who appears to need him-ruining take after take. The other story on the book and record set is “Spinach on the Spanish Main,” a rivalry story pitting Popeye against Bluto in the Caribbean in search of treasure.The remaining two stories—not included with the book—are another Popeye and Bluto face off called “Gold Fever” that brings Wimpy into the search for riches; and the inventive “Who’s Afraid of a U.F.O.” in which a simple picnic becomes an invasion from space involving several different planets and interplanetary cousins of Popeye’s from another world. Take that, ancestry.com! GIVE A LITTLE LISTEN“Popeye in the Movies”Besides the actors, a distinctive characteristic of Arthur Korb’s Peter Pan Records is his consistent choice of library production or “needle drop” music. If anyone hearing this lived in the Miam/Fort Lauderdale area from the ‘50s to the 80s, you might recognize one of the music cues as the theme for WTVJ’s “News at Noon.”POPEYEDeluxe EditionMusic from the Motion PictureVarese Sarabande Compact Disc #302 067 430 8 (2 Discs / Stereo / September 29, 2017)Original LP Released on Boardwalk Records SW-36880 (1980)Album Producer: Harry Nilsson.

GIVE A LITTLE LISTENPopeye End Title MedleyAs some soundtrack albums began to resemble pop albums in the ‘70s and either repositioned or omitted main and end title music, those of us who treasured these features would watch the films and wish it was otherwise.
That’s why restored and extended albums like this edition of Popeye are such treasures. This is an example: the end title medley offering Thomas Pierson’s exquisite arrangements of Nilsson’s score, giving us a chance to hear it in a different dimension. A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE EDITOR OF CARTOON RESEARCHPresenting POPEYE THE SAILOR: The 1940s Vol. 1 (Warner Archive Collection) Street Date: 12/11/18.Here we go again. To all of you who wish and hope the vaults of Warner Bros.
Could reopen to allow more of the classic cartoon treasures to emerge – Now is your time. Here’s what you can do to help (Take Two).Last year I used whatever super powers I had to make a set of black and white Porky Pig cartoons available in an effort to convince to the studio there was an audience out there for such compilations.
After several bumps in the road the set eventually broke even. But “brake even” isn’t good enough for a mega corporation. Long story short – we have one more shot. Perhaps a set of color cartoons, films the collectors do not have, or never had on home video (no VHS, no previous DVD or cable broadcast). A small set – 14 cartoons perhaps.Here it is – a continuation of the Paramount Popeye cartoons. No frills, no bonus materials, no audio commentaries.
Transferred from the original Technicolor negatives. Jim Tyer animation. Politically incorrect shorts, uncut. The set will be available, separately, on both DVD and blu-ray.The website to pre-order is now up: Order the $21.99 – and/or the 19.99. I highly recommend this set – I think you will be pleased. The frame grabs below were snapped off my living room flat screen by my iPhone, off the blu-ray.
If this looks good to you – I ask that you pre-order, or order it in December. Let’s prove to Warner Bros. That we want further volumes of Popeye 1940s and 1950s – and we want more Warner and MGM cartoons restored and released. It’s seriously up to you. Majestic Mountain cliff, the logo of Paramount. Jump, but watch out for the crested stars!This Blu-ray could be a great novelty Christmas gift for my Grandma along with a personal copy with me as well, since I am a HUGE Paramount cartoon buff.You might have taken this for granted, but this first time a properly restored set of Famous Studios cartoons past the 1942-1943 season.
So you’ll get some smooth animation (especially in the last few titles of Vol 1), colors popping in glorious Technicolor, and restored Paramount logos. This is fantastic news, and I’ll be checking, periodically, to seek out the proper address at which to order this thing. Can’t wait to check out the first 14 cartoons in the Paramount Studio’s color POPEYE seriesand where can I get a copy of the POPEYE movie soundtrack? I didn’t know it was available.I guess there were aspects of the Popeye live action movie that didn’t feel right, despite the inclusion of the performers, here, who simply had to understand the original Fleischer cartoons.

Then again, if you’re going for the purest version of this character, chances are you’d go with the Segar comic strip, as hard-edged as it might seem. Jack Mercer gave so much humanity to the character, as has been pointed out so many times in posts on this and other animation forums.I can’t say I am as versed in the original comic strip as I am the Fleischer or Famous cartoons, and I thought that certain steps had been taken to give the film an overall Fleischer-esque appearance. I wonder how this conflict was dealt with from day to day on the set, aside from Dustin Hoffman’s departure from the production. I wonder if film of Hoffman’s performance as Popeye actually exists.
Most recorded performances of the sailor man were gruff, while, again, Mercer neatly refined it so that we can see and feel the soft spot beneath the seemingly hard exterior. Hey, even the Paramount cartoons broadly conflict with Segar’s original vision when creating the characterso where does one begin? Well, I’ll certainly enjoy the Paramount cartoons, whenever the proper information shows itself! Thanks for the announcement of the Popeye color cartoons on Blu-ray/DVD, Jerry.
But I have to say: I’m really disappointed that you shoe-horned it into one of the regular columns on Cartoon Research. Basically, you are only allowing the readers who are interested enough to click into this particular column to discover the news (as well as those who saw the teaser under the Exposure Sheet column yesterday). An announcement like this deserves its OWN post with its OWN headline. It has a potential of interest way beyond readers who are curious about Popeye on vinyl records.One question that pops to mind: You write that there are no bonus materials, which is understandable; but since this set will also be on Blu-ray (yay!), will the cartoons be restored? Or will these be raw transfers? This announcement is “shoe-horned” into one of the regular columns because I’m giving you guys, the regular readers, first crack at the news. This project hasn’t been announced yet to the public.
I was told today was the day, however, I’m actually still awaiting the official word. Heck, I could get in trouble for ‘shoe-horning’ the info here.There will be a full blog post devoted to this announcement – it will be on my news site, Animation Scoop – as soon as I’m given the go-head to do so. I’m also waiting for the website link – so you can order.I will answer more questions about this set tomorrow when I put in a cameo appearance on Stu’s Show (I’ll pop in during the first half hour – Skype be willing) – and more so on on my full-length appearance on the show Dec.
It’s good to hear that there will be a full announcement on Animation Scoop. But please – publish the full announcement on THIS site (cartoonresearch.com) as well. Speaking for myself, I visit Cartoon Research much more often than Animation Scoop, simply because I like this site better, and its contents is more up my alley.
If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have thought of checking Animation Scoop for the announcement; and I have to think the same is also the case for many other classic cartoon fans. In my eyes, this site is the place where an announcement about classic Hollywood cartoons on home video will have the best chance of finding its audience. I appreciate your loyalty to this blog.I will be placing a box on the right column (where the Porky 101 box is now) on each page of Cartoon Research when the film is officially announced.My policy here is one post per day.
As I have most days on Cartoon Research booked up in advance, “shoe-horning” special announcements such as this is what I will do when the news is particularly “breaking”. I would refer readers who want breaking news about my doings to check my facebook page and the Cartoon Research facebook page – as well as Animation Scoop.
Well, this is good news. It’s kind of like the last Popeye piece. They began to degrade after this. My gosh, we waited soooooooooooooo long to get the black and white Fleischers on DVD. This doesn’t feel like we’ve waited as long in comparison. I know there’s a tendency to see what we can get next, so I’ll indulge that. If there is enough response, could we finally get a complete Betty Boop compilation?
Talkartoons and all? Anyway, Jerry, I’m VERY happy to get these Popeyes.
Thank you for your efforts. Doesn’t have the rights to release Betty Boop or any other cartoons from the Fleischer/Famous Studios. They only have Popeye from Paramount’s library. What we’re hoping for, if this release sells well, is that it can pave the way for more releases of the vast library of cartoons that Warner does own – from the Warner Bros.
And MGM libraries. There’s a LOT of great stuff there still waiting for a proper home video release.
(Of course, I’d love it it another company did a high-quality Blu-ray release of Betty Boop and Talkartoons.). The Popeye movie is maddening because it always feels like there’s a GREAT movie inches away from happening. The talent is there, onscreen and off. It’s almost a companion to Dick Tracy, which for all the amazing visuals and performances (Dick Van Dyke as a villain!) boils down to the most beautiful programmer ever made.As for another Popeye, I’m on board. My own top priority after that is Tex Avery, although I’d definitely buy “Rock Odyssey” and a “Saturday Superstar Movie” set. And I’m always up for live action shorts.

Jerry is so right when he states it’s “up to you”. When The Cartoon Network debuted “The Popeye Show” at 1:30 am Monday morning I knew this was a ploy to let this classy show die after 13 episodes (after all Warner Brothers did not own the licensing rights to the Popeye characters).
If it bombed the network would say “we told you know one watched Popeye”. I spent a lot of time (& money) to get this show promoted and into an earlier time period. Thanks to the public’s support the show did move to 9:30 pm and later 7:30 pm Sunday evenings lasting three and half seasons. The public’s voice was heard. Let’s do it again and buy this DVD set!
