Fleischer Studios
1939 Run Time: 21.04 One of only three Popeye films that are longer than the standard one-reel (6-10 minute) cartoon, this animated adaption of the well-known tale of Aladdin and his magic lamp casts Popeye in the leading role.
It also has the distinction of being the first film completed in Fleischer Studios' newly built, state-of-the-art Miami studio. |
As it happens, the making of this film is featured in a short film produced by Popular Science which you can watch by clicking here.
The other two-reel Popeye films are: Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor (1936) and Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba’s Forty Theives (1937). Interestingly, all three longer films take place in exotic Arabian settings!
