History WesternAnimation / PopeyeTheSailorMeetsSindbadTheSailor

** Averted for Thunderbean’s restoration of the short on their Popeye BluRay which uses the print from the UsefulNotes/NatonalFilmRegistery with far more accurate colors.

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Noticeably averted for one of the few times in the whole franchise. Popeye actually is at sea in this cartoon, manning a ship, and it's central to the plot. We don't know where he, Olive Oyl, and Wimpy were going, and thanks to Sinbad's intervention, we never find out.

* ShakeSomeoneObjectsFall: When Sindbad uses Popeye as a human punching bag, a number of nautical items get shaken loose, such as a lantern, a ship's wheel, and a life presever.

* ShakeSomeoneObjectsFall: When Sindbad uses Popeye as a human punching bag, a number of nautical items get shaked loose, such as a lantern, a ship's wheel, and a life presever.

* BlackComedy: Wimpy chasing a duck with a hand-held meat grinder to turn it into hamburger meat. (Don't worry, it gets away.)

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Popeye makes some pretty risqué comments, but they are muttered under his breath.

* {{Hammerspace}}: Brutus punches out of Popeye binoculars, several chunks of shipwright equipment (for tying ropes, etc.), a lantern, a pulley, a life preserver, and ''a boat's steering wheel''.

* VillainSong: "Oh, who's the most remarkable," ''etc.''

* IsleOfGiantHorrors: Sindbad's TurtleIsland is full of various monstrous beasts, such as lions, tigers, snakes, apes, and most notably [[GiantFlyer a gigantic bird]] and a two-headed humanoid giant.

* NightmareFace: At one point Bluto says "boo" while singing and makes an awfully creepy face for a few seconds.

* ThereCanBeOnlyOne: The story is set off by Sinbad overhearing Popeye singing his theme song, taking it as a challenge to his title as the greatest sailor in the world.

Sindbad promptly sends his giant buzzard to "Wreck that ship!" and kidnap Olive Oyl ("But bring me the woman.") and naturally, Popeye has to travel to Sindbad's Island (along with [[TheLoad Wimpy]]) to save Olive Oyl.

* AnimationBump: In spades. The animation is noticably more fluid and detailed this time around, and that's not even taking into the account the lush, rich Technicolor and amazing model set backgrounds.

* IsleOfGiantHorrors: Sindbad's island is full of various monstrous beasts, most notably a gigantic bird and a two-headed humanoid giant.

* {{Expy}}: Sindbad, Bluto, Brutus.

* DVDCommentary: Creator/JohnKricfalusi and his pals provide one for the first official Popeye DVD set. A second commentary, supplied by historians [[Blog/CartoonBrew Jerry Beck]], Ray Pointer, Bob Jacques and Leslie Cabarga, appears for it on the Warner Bros. Academy Awards Collection DVD set.

Possibly the peak of WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}} the Sailor's cartoon career during TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation, this [[AnimationBump lavishly animated]], full-color, two-reeler 16-minute theatrical cartoon from 1936 brings together a crisply paced plot with impressive action scenes and comedy. Oh, and awesome 3-D backgrounds too (courtesy of Fleischer Studios' trademark "tabletop" technique).
