Popeye made the jump to the silver screen in a 1933 Betty Boop cartoon entitled, "Popeye the Sailor" from the Fleischer Studios. Nearly 600 Popeye cartoons were made and are still in worldwide syndication. Many are available on video. The Fleischer Popeye cartoons can be seen today on the Superstation TBS and The Cartoon Network.
