My paper will be about Popeye the Sailor Man, In particular the episode called “Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor”. An episode of Popeye primarily noted for how polished the techniques in it used at the time. The reason why I’m drawn to this particular episode is because of the innovation and boundaries it broke at the time, while also introducing new was to spice up animation as a medium. I also have a soft spot for Popeye growing up with it in my childhood my father would put it on television for us to watch.
What I’ll be mainly talking about
- How Popeye came to be
- Techniques used in “Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor”
- How Popeye laid the fundamentals for cartoons in the present
