Popeye theatrical shorts

[The Blu Knight]

From the New York Post:

One of your most popular Warner Archive categories is animation you've been releasing under the Hanna-Barbera label. Will you be bringing out the rest of the theatrical Popeye cartoons at WAC, since the series has been suspended at retail for years?


Those still need to be photochemically restored. We won't do anything with those at WAC, but we're hoping they'll be Blu-ray. We will be hopefully doing things with the made-for-TV Popeyes [at WAC], we have some very enterprising ideas for those. The HB titles have been so extraordinary successful.

So it looks like when Warner gets around to restoring the shorts, they do have plans to put them on blu-ray. I just hope we don't have to wait until Sony's 3D Popeye movie for them to do it, although that's probably what's going to happen.
