Popeye the Sailor: Customers Wanted
The first to create cartoons by tracing live-action footage, producer Max Fleischer and his brother, director Dave Fleischer, used this patented invention to revolutionize animation. More than 600 artists and technicians were employed on each cartoon to bring this magic to the screen, so prepare to be amazed by some of the most dazzling special effects ever! Popeye the Sailor (1933) was based on the character from Elzie Segar's Thimble Theatre comic strip, and Mae (Betty Boop) Questel provided the voice of Popeye's girl, Olive Oyl.
