Everyone's favorite sailorman hasn't aged a day since his Silver Screen debut over 75 years ago, showing the true power of eating your spinach. Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Bluto are back to entertain fans 2008 when Warner Home Video (WHV), Hearst Entertainment and King Features Syndicate get set to release Popeye The Sailor 1938-1940 Volume 2 and Popeye and Friends Volume 1 on June 17th, 2008. Available for $34.98 (SRP), the 2-disc Authorized Edition 1938-1940 DVD collection includes 31 original re-mastered and unedited theatrical shorts by the legendary Max Fleischer. Popeye and Friends Volume 1 is a 1-disc set including 8 full-color shorts available for $14.97 (SRP).

Popeye, infamous for his "muskles," spinach and pipe, was introduced to American Audiences and became one of the most beloved characters in the animation history. Because of his distinctive jargon and memorable catch phrases such as "Thas' all I Can Stands, 'cause I Can't Stands No More," Popeye became a household name. A humble hero, Popeye was always true to his uncomproming moral standards and although he looked like a tough guy, he only resorted to force when faced with a conflict that affected his love ones. Even when close to defeat by the evil Bluto, Popeye's obsession with spinach guaranteed him victory over his competition. Unassumingly, Popeye was also a hopeless romantic, faking illness to get Olive Oyl's attention, as seen in the short, "I Yam Love Sick."
