Where’s Popeye?
In the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? which was set in 1947, several cartoon characters show up in the real world. The main character, Eddie Valiant is a private detective trying to figure out who framed cartoon character Roger Rabbit for murder. Nearly every prominent cartoon character in history makes an appearance in the film, but Popeye was absent. The reason was because Disney was not able to get the rights to the character from Paramount.

Not So Funny
In the 1960’s, The King Features took over the creation of Popeye cartoons, and many people felt that these didn’t have the same quality as the preceding cartoons. Many said that they were not funny and even unwatchable. Interestingly, producer Al Brodax ended up creating 1968 Beatles animated film Yellow Submarine, which is regarded as a classic.
