This is the first of three rather atypical "cheater" cartoons, which use footage from three Popeyes produced in the 1930s by Fleischer Brothers Studios but frame the footage with roughly two or three minutes of new animation done by Famous Studios! As there is less distance in time between this pairing (Aladdin and his Magic Lamp was the third Popeye "special", done in 1938, while this short was one in 1949) and, at the time, Famous Studios still had some spark of creativity, the gap between old and new material was not as notable, although the sheer magic of Popeye Meets Sinbad the Sailor makes Big Bad Sinbad slightly better than Popeye's Premiere. This one works better as a unit, though, with the framing material of better quality and with a fairly decent plot. The ending is certainly the most imaginative of the three. By the early 1950s, Famous Studios was going through the motions and it really shows. I think that this cartoon marks the beginning of the end, at least for Popeye. For completeists and major Popeye fans only.
