Has anyone else noticed the quality drop on this set, compared to Vol. One?
There is increased digital artifacting all over the place, particularly around all of the edges.
Lower bit rate maybe? I’m upconverting this to a 1080P set, so perhaps that’s making the effect more pronounced, but the first set looks much better. I know this ain’t Blu-ray, but I we can do better, folks!

There’s no bigger Popeye fan than me and I loved volume 1 – that’s why volume 2 is such a disappointment. They claim that the cartoons are remastered but that is hard to believe. So many of the cartoons are full of scratches and flashes and white dots. Some of them have a jittery picture – “The Jeep” is particularly bad. I really expected the quality to be a lot better.

The animation is wonderful, and the DVD quality is damn near perfect; but I was bored watching these cartoons. The stories lack the punch they packed when I viewed them many years ago on television with much younger eyes. I guess I’m getting old. Don’t get me wrong; as stated, the quality is great, and the discs are worth owning, especially if you are a collector of classic quality cartoons. I think I have outgrown the stories, however. I felt the same way when I viewed the “Jetsons” a few years ago. Perhaps, I was not in the proper mood at the time. Who knows? Oh, well. If you love “Popeye” and don’t mind watching the basic story line repeatedly, buy this collection. Otherwise, save your money and purchase some food or clothing.

Although this package contains only two DVDs instead of the four in the preceding volume, it’s still a wealth of wondrous animated fun. For years, the Fleischer Popeye cartoons have been represented on home video only by a few public-domain titles in very murky copies. The new volumes have proven to be well worth the wait. Each cartoon is presented in stunning quality from pristine 35mm source material, with the original main titles restored. A platoon of knowledgeable and articulate animation buffs offer commentaries on many of the titles, and several short documentaries provide further background information on the making of these films. Whether they will be to everyone’s tastes is another matter–a lot of the cartoons, particularly the earlier ones, are essentially Bluto and Popeye beating the stuffing out of each other, until Popeye consumes his spinach and vanquishes his foe. But just as Tom and Jerry cartoons provide endless creative variations on cat-chases-mouse, the Popeye cartoons are equally inventive in providing contexts and resolutions for the Popeye vs. Bluto bouts.
