Synopsis
Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor (1936) is a classic color cartoon from Fleischer Studios you can watch online on iFILM. The boastful giant Sindbad sinks Popeye's ship, snatches Olive Oyl, and hauls them both off to his monster-filled island.
What follows is a contest between two sailors over who's the most remarkable fella alive, settled the only way it can be — with fists. Sixteen minutes of gags, songs and that trusty can of spinach that turns Popeye into a wrecking ball. The short was shot in Technicolor using the Fleischer brothers' "stereoptical" rig, layering drawn characters over real 3D miniature sets, which looked jaw-dropping in 1936. It landed an Academy Award nomination for best cartoon short. Cozy retro fun in a single sitting, made for kids and animation-history buffs alike. Stream it online on iFILM.
