aap print but with original audio unmodified. Print provided by Thunderbean. Could someone help me ID which scenes Jim Tyer animated? They usually stick out like a sore thumb but I'm actually having some trouble finding them.
I can easily explain why some Popeye AAP prints (this one,Pre-Hysterical Man and the most rare one that I wish I'd find again (last one was a french VHS tape) is Hot Air Aces) retain the audio unmodified: Cinecolor and Polacolor Popeyes retain the audio in its entirety. Doesn't explain why they spliced in the crappiest restorations ever: -Pre-Hysterical Man - US print uses the Paramount logo (for the beginning) from Alpine for You (I know that because of the strong blue tint) and the ending from Popeye meets Hercules (high brightness was the giveaway) -Hot Air Aces - US print - do I even need to mention this? 1945 intro w/ cue on a 48-50s print. I hope someday to find the original tape and show you the original AAP print (albeit with english audio) BONUS: Snow Place Like Home - same as Hot Air Aces - but this time,they didn't even bother to fade into the spliced print - just a simple cut! Same technique was used for Pre-Hysterical Man (the Paramount print and AAP prints are both available on YT)
PC-VX41 These Popeye cartoons from AAP were distributed by United Artists after they sold the pre-48 WB cartoons and the Popeye cartoons from AAP to UA when it became UAA for a short time where it ended up as United Artists Television.
@@Musicradio77Network I know these were AAP prints, but the restorations Turner tried to do on these mentioned prints are execrable. At least Boomerang CEE's only original Polacolor print (Pre-Hysterical Man) was left purely intact. It's nearly the same as the AAP print in this video, but with a slight green-ish tint near the end.
I remember this cartoon with the original Paramount cartoon titles since I was young. Never seen the AAP version before when it was unmodified, just like UM&M/NTA did. But strangely, the AAP closing did not used the ending music from "Olive Oyl For President" albeit the last two notes at the end. This was part of the TV package when it was later bought out by United Artists in 1959.
Freeze the frame at 5:49 and you can see by the faces that Tyer did the scene with Oilve and Bluto back on the ship -- Tyer's wild animation was always toned down in the cartoons supervised by Seymour Kneitel, who wanted smoother, better-looking animation, even if that also meant as the years went by, less extreme and less funny. Izzy Sparber and Dan Gordon were the supervising directors who gave free rein to Tyer (as did Bill Tytla ... but only in his first cartoon with Tyer. He toned him down after that, and Tyer left for Terrytoons a short time later).
Good 16mm restoration! The official restoration by Warner Bros. Archive has been released via Popeye The Sailor: The 1940s Volume 2 on Blu-Ray and DVD.
Looks like the TV print of this cartoon darkened the scene with Bluto eavesdropping leaving it unwatchable with no gag to look at. This print made it move visible. And if the screenshots shown out there are any indication, the Popeye blu-ray has this scene in full brightness
Actually Bluto has been called Bluto the whole time. The only exception is those crappy made-for-TV Popeye cartoons by King Features Syndicate in the 1960s where Bluto was renamed as Brutus. The reason behind this is that King Features Syndicate mistakenly believed that Paramount who distributed the Popeye theatrical shorts owned the rights to the name "Bluto" even though they did own the rights to the Bluto name way before Paramount started the Popeye theatrical cartoon shorts, and due to lack of research, King Features Syndicate renamed Bluto as Brutus and remodified his appearance to avoid copyright issues. Realising their mistake in later years, King Features Syndicate restored Bluto's original name beginning with Hanna-Barbera's The All New Popeye Show TV series, and in the newer Popeye comics Brutus is reintroduced as Bluto's twin brother.
Bluto had forced the mermaid bust onto the swordfish. The swordfish did not like that and had been trying to wriggle out of it. Finally, the swordfish had enough and sawed his way out.
