About this listen

 Dive into the revolutionary moment when Popeye jumped from comic strips to animated cartoons in the 1930s. Discover how the pioneering Fleischer Studios transformed E.C. Segar's scrappy sailor into a three-dimensional character that redefined animation forever. From groundbreaking rotoscope techniques to innovative 3D backgrounds, learn how Max and Dave Fleischer created cartoons that felt more like live-action films. Explore the development of Popeye's iconic traits—his pipe, squint, and spinach transformations—and how Jack Mercer's legendary voice work created unprecedented intimacy between character and audience. This episode reveals how Popeye's screen debut established the foundations of modern animation and superhero storytelling that continue to influence Hollywood today.
